Key Market Trends

Commercial Aircraft Segment to dominate the market during the forecast period

The commercial aircraft segment held the highest market share in 2019. In 2019, more than 4.5 billion people traveled by commercial airlines around the world. The rise in air traffic is prompting airline operators to initiate procurement drives and place firm orders for new-generation aircraft. For instance, in July 2019, Air France-KLM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for 60 A220-300 aircraft to modernize its fleet and in December 2019, Air France-KLM Group ordered additional 10 widebody Airbus A350-900s. In April 2020, Airbus received orders for 9 commercial aircraft from its A320 product line from Avolon. In April 2020, Airbus made 26 deliveries from the A320, A330, A350 XWB and A320 neo aircraft families. Such orders from commercial airlines will generate a demand for aircraft lightning protection which in turn will propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

North America to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period

The North American region is estimated to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period, due to increasing aircraft procurement in the United States, both by military and commercial segments. Air travel to and from the United States has increased significantly over the past decade. As a result of increasing air passenger traffic, commercial airlines in the region are investing heavily to expand their fleet with new commercial aircraft. For instance, in July 2019, Delta Air Lines ordered five Airbus A220-100 aircraft. Earlier, in 2016 Delta Air Lines had placed an order for 75 A220 aircraft and later ordered an additional 15 aircraft in December 2018. Similarly, in June 2019, American Airlines ordered 50 Airbus A321XLR aircraft, which is the new longer-ranger version of Airbus's A321neo aircraft. The purchase agreement includes the conversion of 30 American Airlines' existing A321neo slots to A321XLRs and incremental orders for an additional 20 A321XLRs. Moreover, many other commercial airlines in the US are planning for the procurement of new commercial aircraft to extend their fleet. Such development in the commercial segment will drive the aircraft lightning protection market in the region during the forecast period. Similarly, procurements done by military aviation will also drive the growth of the market. For instance, in October 2019, the United States Defense Department finalized an agreement to purchase 478 additional Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft in a deal totaling USD 34 billion. Similarly, Canada is also planning to replace its aging fleet of CF-18. Such procurements are expected to drive the growth of aircraft lightning protection market during the forecast period.
