Aircraft Wire and Cables Market Outlook - 2027
Aircraft wire and cables are used to transmit signals or electricity. Harness is used to connect many cables and wires to protect them against moisture, high temperature, and vibration. They are bound with materials like electric tape, rubber, and conduit. In an aircraft, high-frequency signal conveying capacity wire and cables are being used to transfer high-speed data. In the flight control system and lighting applications, wire and cables are also used. Some are flexible cables made of stainless steel. These consist of thin steel wires that are stranded together, offering a strong combination of durability and strength for the cable, and is sufficiently powerful to hold an airplane in place. Such cables and wires are used for commercial aircraft, defense aircraft, military, and civilian helicopters.
COVID – 19 Scenario Analysis:
- Due to the pandemic, the majority of airlines have been grounded and existing backlog orders have been postponed, the requirements of the aircraft wire and cabless have gone down.
- Companies are experiencing production disruption and declining demand in commercial aviation as staff go home, travelers stop flying, and consumers delay the delivery of new aircraft. Replacement parts demand is also reduced since less maintenance is required at the moment.
- Product manufacturers are adopting innovative measures to improve supply chain time and cost-efficiency.
- When the current market overcomes the effect of pandemic and aircraft orders are increased, the need for aircraft wire and cabless would also increase.
- After containment of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments will need airlines to encourage economic recovery, connect manufacturing hubs, and promote tourism, thereby the aircraft wire and cables market will grow again.
- Aircraft manufacturers are by definition capital-intensive, creating short-term cash flow and liquidity issues. Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) services are primarily required by the size and flight activities of the global fleet, but with diverse temporary influences in this pandemic situation with less operation fights.
Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers and impact analysis
Increase in demand for new aircraft and also the strength and versatility of these cables significantly improve the growth of this market. In commercial aircraft, the flight control system and lighting systems use versatile lightweight wires and cables. The aircraft cables are high-frequency cables for radio data transmission and air traffic control during navigation and landing. Therefore, airplane wires are resistant to flames. Data bus cables are also used in in-flight entertainment applications in the passenger field. Also, the number of air-travelers has dramatically increased over the past few years, thanks to low airline ticket rates and time saved on journeys. The demand for replacing older aircraft worldwide and new cable harnesses are thus some of the major factors that are expected to drive aircraft wire and cables market during the forecast period.
The global aircraft wire and cables market trends are as follows:
New product launches to flourish the market
In 2019, for their latest inflight communication program, SmartSky Networks selected Gore's vapor-sealed 7 Series to provide passengers with a true air-to-ground 4 G LTE link in an aircraft. Also, in 2019, W.L Gore & Associates introduced the latest GORE Fiber Optic Cables, 1.8 mm Simplex with high impact resistance for extreme aircraft environments. This version is known to meet the strict new industry requirements JN1177 and EN4641-301 for greater reliability while retaining high bandwidth data and video transmission on 10-Gb avionics networks. Besides, Amphenol Borisch Technologies (ABT) has invested USD 3.7 million in Kentwood, Michigan to expand its operations.
The surge in air traffic along with up-gradation needed for in-flight connectivity facility
Overall, the development of urbanization coupled with a substantial rise in air passenger traffic volumes has a clear positive impact on the supply of aircraft and then on the aircraft wire and cable industry worldwide. Factors such as an increase in individuals' disposable income and thereby passengers prefer airlines that offer in-flight connectivity over other flights. This reason has led many manufacturers to upgrade their aircraft to include network capabilities offering in-flight connectivity, which further improves market growth potential.
