Aircraft Accessory Gearbox Market Expected to Reach $2.1 Billion by 2033

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Aircraft Accessory Gearbox Market," The aircraft accessory gearbox market size was valued at $1.2 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $2.1 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2033.

An aircraft accessory gearbox (AGB) is a component of an aircraft’s propulsion system, designed to transfer mechanical power from the main engine to various auxiliary systems. It serves as a mounting platform for essential accessories such as generators, hydraulic pumps, fuel pumps, and air compressors, ensuring their efficient operation during flight. The AGB plays a vital role in optimizing engine performance by regulating power distribution and reducing the load on the main engine. As aircraft technology advances, modern accessory gearboxes are being developed with enhanced durability, lightweight materials, and improved efficiency to meet the growing demands of next-generation aircraft.The aircraft accessory gearbox industry is experiencing significant aircraft accessory gearbox market Growth, driven by the increasing demand for advanced gearbox solutions in both commercial and military aviation.
