The aircraft landing gear market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $13.31 billion in 2023 to $14.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increased adoption of lighter and more durable landing gears, rising raw material costs, a surge in air travel, robust economic growth in emerging markets, and escalated military expenditure.
The aircraft landing gear market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. Forecasted growth driven by increased passenger air traffic, urbanization, and demand for fighter jets in developing nations. Key trends include 3D printed landing gears, active landing gear tech, facility expansions, new tech solutions, mergers, advanced gear tech, partnerships, strategic investments for portfolio expansion.
The growth of the aircraft landing gear market is expected to be propelled by the increasing procurement of modern-generation aircraft. This trend is driven by the rising global demand for both commercial and cargo aircraft, coupled with significant investments in defense equipment across various countries. The surge in demand for landing gear components is a direct result of the increasing fleet of modern-generation aircraft, contributing to the overall expansion of the aircraft landing gear market. An illustrative example is the July 2021 order placed by United Airlines, a US-based airline company, for a combined total of 270 Airbus and Boeing narrow-body jets, comprising 200 737 Max and 70 A321neos. The procurement of such modern-generation aircraft serves as a driving force behind the growth of the aircraft landing gear market.
Government support is identified as a key factor expected to drive the future growth of the aircraft landing gear market. Governments worldwide are actively engaging in efforts to raise public awareness and foster development in the air travel market, influencing the overall expansion of the aircraft landing gear market. A concrete example is the Russian Government's planned investment of RUB237 billion ($3.1 billion) in March 2023 to support the self-regulating sector, specifically aimed at preserving and developing regional aviation in the Arctic. This initiative encompasses projects for aircraft construction in 2023 and the preservation and enhancement of regional aviation in the Arctic zone. Additionally, in June 2022, the Russian Government announced a substantial investment of over $14 billion in the aviation industry by the end of the decade, with a focus on boosting domestic aircraft production. The goal is to achieve 81% domestic production for aircraft operated by Russian Airlines by 2030. The support provided by governments is anticipated to play a significant role in fueling the expansion of the aircraft landing gear market.
A prominent trend in the aircraft landing gear market is the pursuit of technological advancements by industry players. Companies are placing a strong emphasis on developing innovative landing gear solutions characterized by lighter weight and reduced complexity. An example of this trend is evident in the efforts of Metro Hop, a US-based electric airplane company. In April 2021, the company showcased its concept of Active Landing Gear, featuring electric motors in each wheel. This new system has the capability to shorten the takeoff and landing runs of electric airplanes, contributing to enhanced operational efficiency. The lower power requirements and simplified design not only improve performance but also allow for a reduced takeoff weight, creating additional capacity for passengers or cargo.
A transformative trend in the aircraft landing gear market is the adoption of 3D printing technology. This innovation is expected to revolutionize the design and manufacturing of landing gear components. 3D printing enables manufacturers to produce intricate landing gear parts with high precision, leading to a reduction in material waste and production costs. The industry anticipates continued exploration of new applications for 3D printing in landing gear design, including the incorporation of novel materials and advanced sensors. Safran, a France-based aircraft manufacturing company specializing in rocket engines, exemplified this trend by utilizing Selective Laser Melting (SLM) Solutions technology. In April 2021, Safran employed 3D printing to produce a component for the nose landing gear of a business jet, showcasing the technology's potential in creating titanium components for landing gear systems. The adoption of 3D printing is poised to bring about transformative changes in the way landing gear components are conceived and manufactured within the aircraft landing gear market.
