Aircraft Pumps Market Report 2025

This Aircraft Pumps market report covers market characteristics, size & growth, segmentation, regional & country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The aircraft pumps market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.06 billion in 2024 to $4.48 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in commercial aviation, military aircraft modernization, aging aircraft fleet, aircraft safety regulations, emerging markets.

The aircraft pumps market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric aircraft development, air travel recovery, rising defense budgets, trade and geopolitical factors, increasing tourism activities. Major trends in the forecast period include lightweight materials and design, sustainable and green technologies, digitalization and iot integration, increased reliability and redundancy, pump health monitoring.

An escalation in air passenger traffic is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft pumps market. The surge in air passengers is a result of increased GDP, disposable income, and improved living standards. Notably, the prolonged lockdown during the COVID-19 outbreak has stimulated a notable increase in both business and leisure travel. This surge in air travel contributes to a heightened demand for aircraft. Aircraft pumps play an essential role in ensuring the proper flow of fluids and gases for the optimal functioning of the aircraft. A report by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) published in May 2022 revealed a significant uptick in air passenger numbers and aircraft flight departures. Comparing January to April 2022 with the same period in 2021, there was a remarkable 65% increase in the number of passengers carried by air and a 30% rise in the number of aircraft flight departures. This substantial rise in air travel and passengers is anticipated to foster growth in the aircraft pumps market.

An increase in aircraft renewals is set to drive the growth of the aircraft pumps market. Aircraft renewals entail the process of renewing an aircraft's registration, which is a legal necessity in numerous countries. These renewals mandate a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft's systems, including its pumps, to ensure their optimal working condition. For instance, data from The Federal Register, a US-based official journal of the federal government, indicates an estimated average of 78,435 aircraft renewals. This figure is derived from the total number of renewals over three fiscal years (235,304 in total, encompassing data from FY19, FY20, and FY21) divided by the three-year frequency at which aircraft owners are required to renew their registration. The rise in aircraft renewals is expected to foster growth in the aircraft pumps market.

Partnerships and collaboration are key trends in the aircraft pumps market. Companies are entering into a partnership with aircraft pumps manufacturer to expand their market and leverage each other's resources. For instance, in August 2023, Parker Aerospace, a US based manufacturer of flight control systems, hydraulic pump and fuel company announced five year contract with U.S army. This substantial five-year contract involves overhauling and upgrading hydraulic pumps and flight control systems for the helicopters. The collaboration encompasses supply chain management, engineering support, and field service support at the Corpus Christi Army Depot in Texas.

Major companies in the aircraft pump sector are investigating new advanced pumps, such as hydraulic pumps, to gain a competitive edge and enhance their product offerings. A hydraulic pump is a device that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by generating flow and pressure within a hydraulic system. It functions by moving fluid, typically oil, to power machinery or equipment across various applications. For instance, in September 2023, Rotorweld, a New Zealand-based aircraft maintenance company, introduced an external hydraulic pump drive kit designed for Airbus helicopters AS350 [H125] and EC130 [H130] series helicopters. This kit is quick and easy to install, allowing the belt-driven hydraulic pump on the helicopter to operate as if the helicopter were running, enabling flight control movements, hydraulic system functional checks, and leak tests.

In January 2024, Crane Company, a US-based industrial products firm, acquired Vian Enterprises for $103 million. The purpose of this acquisition is to enhance its capabilities in the Aerospace & Electronics segment, specifically in fluid management solutions. This deal is anticipated to significantly broaden Crane's portfolio of mission-critical aerospace flow control products and reinforce its position in both the commercial and military aircraft markets. Vian Enterprises is a US-based manufacturer of lubrication pumps and systems for aerospace applications.

Aircraft pumps are devices employed to transfer substances such as water, air, or gas from one container to another within an aircraft. These pumps operate through displacement, ensuring the proper flow and functioning of various systems on the aircraft. Types of aircraft pumps include hydraulic pumps, fuel pumps, waste and wastewater pumps, and others, each serving specific functions to maintain the aircraft's operational efficiency.

The primary types of aircraft pumps are hydraulic, fuel, lube & scavenge, water & wastewater, and air conditioning & cooling pumps. Hydraulic pumps, for example, transfer non-compressible fluid through an aircraft's hydraulic system, commonly used to operate wheel brakes, retractable landing gear, and constant-speed propellers on smaller aircraft. Aircraft types utilizing these pumps include fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Technologies employed in aircraft pumps include engine-driven, electric motor-driven, ram air turbine-driven, and air-driven mechanisms. These pumps are available with different pressure output levels, ranging from up to 350 pounds per square inch (PSI), between 350 to 1,500 PSI, between 1,500 to 3,000 PSI, and above 3,000 PSI. Aircraft pumps are utilized by both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
