Retrofitting of Older Aircraft Fleet Fuels Asia Pacific Aircraft Wiring Harness Market

The deployment of several retrofitting technologies, which indicates the implementation of newer technologies on older airplane fleet, help strengthen passenger safety and comfort and facilitate the airlines in maintaining their older fleet. Retrofitting is done to improve the performance and capabilities of older aircraft. Upgraded wire harnesses can contribute to better reliability, reduced downtime, and improved functionality, making the most out of retrofit investment by various companies. Retrofitting can extend the operational lifespan of older aircraft, enabling them to remain in service for a long duration. As these aircraft continue to operate, there is an ongoing need for replacing wire harnesses due to wear and tear. Retrofitting older aircraft can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new ones. As airlines and operators seek to maximize the value of their existing fleets, they will require reliable and updated wire harnesses to support the retrofit projects. For example, the trend for cabin retrofits became more prominent after the post-peak-pandemic phase. Through the pandemic a lot of airlines ground its fleet and this grounding time, offered them an opportunity to upgrade their cabin. Retrofitting can include updates to improve the environmental performance of aircraft, such as reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Wire harnesses that contribute to these goals, including those designed for more efficient electrical systems, continue to record significant demand. Hence, integrating advanced and modern technologies into older aircraft fleets is expected to change the Aircraft Wiring Harness market landscape and the face of the aviation industry. Thus, the retrofitting of older aircraft fleets is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the market players in the coming years.

Asia Pacific Aircraft Wiring Harness Market Overview

Asia Pacific is anticipated to record the highest growth in the aircraft wiring harness market during the forecast period, owing to various factors such as expanding Chinese assembly facilities for Boeing and Airbus, increasing military aircraft purchases, a growing aircraft fleet, and lunching of future indigenous aircraft program to build C919. The expanding aerospace sector and rising demand for commercial and defense aircraft fuel the expansion of the aircraft wiring harness market, as complicated wiring systems are required for avionics, communication, navigation, and other key services in aerospace facilities. Asia Pacific has several aircraft harness market players seeking contacts from various aircraft manufacturers. SASMOS Interconnection Systems Limited (FE-SIL), a joint venture between SASMOS and Fokker Elmo, has been producing Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems, including wire harnesses for P-8A and P-8I, for the aerospace industry. For instance, in November 2022, Boeing awarded the contract to SASMOS JV to supply over 6600 wiring harnesses for the upcoming 16 P-8A Poseidon aircraft. Several players across Japan are launching an aircraft wiring harness system. For instance, in July 2022, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. introduced the E3.series electrical control and wire harness design system and the DS-E3 product data management system (PDM) from Zuken Inc. for the electrical design of aircraft for the Japanese Ministry of Defense.
