The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aircraft fleet expansion, fuel efficiency and environmental concerns, market shift towards wide-body aircraft, retrofit and maintenance demand, defense and cargo aircraft, increasing automation. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, new aircraft models, 3d printing and additive manufacturing, lightweight materials, retractable landing gear, electric actuation.

The rising demand for aircraft is anticipated to drive the growth of the commercial aircraft landing gear market. Aviation plays a crucial role in providing a fast global transportation network, stimulating economic growth, creating jobs, and promoting international trade and tourism. The growing need for passenger and freight air transport has led to an increase in the purchase of new aircraft by air transport and cargo service providers worldwide. The surge in aircraft sales is expected to fuel the demand for landing gear, a critical component of every aircraft. For example, in January 2024, a report by the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based association, indicated that North American carriers saw a 28.3% increase in annual traffic in 2023 compared to 2022, along with a 22.4% rise in capacity. Therefore, the growing demand for aircraft is expected to drive the demand for commercial aircraft landing gears during the forecast period.

Rising public inclination toward the airline industry is expected to propel the growth of the commercial aircraft landing gear market going forward. The airline refers to a company that helps in the development and operation of air transportation services for passengers or goods and the air activities that support them. With more people are inclined towards air travel, airline companies tend to choose more extensive, more effective aircraft to carry more passengers. Larger aircraft usually need more durable landing gear systems to maintain their weight and dimensions. For instance, in March 2023, according to the statistics provided by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US-based government source for statistics on commercial aviation and transportation economics, US airlines transported 194 million more passengers in 2022 compared to 2021, a 30% increase year over year. US airlines handled 853 million passengers for the entire year 2022, from January through December, compared to 658 million in 2021 and 388 million in 2020. Therefore, rising public inclination toward the airline industry is expected to boost demand for commercial aircraft landing gear during the forecast period.

The advanced landing gear technologies are a key trend gaining popularity in the commercial aircraft landing gears market. The market is witnessing the implementation of advanced landing gear technologies to absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of landing impact by enabling technologies such as retractable landing gear sub-systems, hydraulic systems, and controllers. With such technologies, landing gear aids commercial aircraft through a wheel braking and speed controlling system, that provides directional control of the aircraft. Major companies operating in the commercial aircraft landing gears market are focused on delivering technologically advanced solutions to strengthen their market position. For instance, in September 2023, UAVOS Inc., a US-based aircraft products and systems manufacturing company, announced its improved and modified primary landing gear to accommodate heavy-lift unmanned aircraft. The primary landing gear design integrates the most recent advancements in UAVOS production technology, such as the application of lightweight prepreg composite material and its lay-up procedures, which enhance the aircraft's durability and efficiency.

Major companies operating in the commercial aircraft landing gear market are involved in the implementation of electric nose landing gear actuators in narrowbody and widebody commercial jets to reduce drags and faster releasing and retracting of the landing gear during takeoff and landing, helping to reduce landing and inclination time for commercial aircraft. Landing gear actuators, also known as gearbox transmissions, refer to an essential part of an airplane responsible for extending and retracting the landing gear system. For instance, in July 2022, Safran Landing Systems, a France-based aerospace company involved in aircraft landing and braking systems manufacturing, launched the first electric nose landing gear actuator system for narrowbody and widebody commercial jets to reduce aircraft operating and maintenance costs.

In September 2022, Parker-Hannifin, a US-based manufacturer of motion and control technologies, acquired Meggitt PLC for approximately $17. 6 billion (£6. 3 billion). The acquisition complements the company’s portfolio and provide extended geographic footprint to the company. Meggitt is a UK-based manufacturer of landing gear, braking systems, and furl systems.

The commercial aircraft landing gear refers to providing undercarriage support for aircraft to arrange a suspension system during taxi, take-off, and landing. Its purpose is to absorb and disperse the angular momentum energy of landing impacts, lowering the impact force transferred to the aircraft.

The main gear positions of commercial landing gears include main landing and nose landing. Main landing systems refer to land gear systems, which are located close to the center of gravity of the aircraft. The different aircrafts utilizing commercial landing gear include fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. The end-users of commercial aircraft landing gears are commercial and armed forces.
