Published On: SEP-2024   |   Base Year: 2022   |   No Of Pages: 150   |   Historical Data: 2017-2021   |   Formats: PDF   |   Report ID: 36680894

The Aircraft Wire and Cable Market was worth USD 5.2 billion in 2023 and will be worth USD 8.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period.

 

The Aircraft wire and cable market is primarily influenced by the demand for new planes and retrofitting existing planes to make them more safe and reliable. The global airlines market is forecast to expand at 4% per year, with emerging markets in Asia Pacific and the Middle East as key contributors. For instance, higher demand in business and public air travel results in demand for new aircraft, which require highly integrated wiring systems for new avionics for entertainment and communications onboard, among others. Others include the changing of lightweight high-performance wire and cable, which enables the reduction in aircraft weight and hence fuel consumption. These developments are especially relevant to the evolution of next-generation electric and hybrid aircraft, where power management and weight reduction are decisive, providing a strong momentum to the aircraft wires and cables market.

 

One of the biggest prospects in the global aircraft wire and cable market is the rapidly increasing usage of electric and hybrid-electric airplanes that will need innovative electrical systems to distribute power and regulate operations. The electric aircraft market also has a growth potential by 2050; currently, over 200 electric aircraft programs are under development worldwide. These aircraft are very dependent on high-voltage wiring systems for power management of electric propulsion, batteries, and sophisticated sensors. Recent advances include high-temperature, high-voltage cables that have the capacity to handle increased electrical loads in electric aircraft without adding more weight. Also, with an increasing passenger footprint of More Electric Aircraft (MEA) in the commercial aviation industry by replacing hydraulics and pneumatics with electrics, there is an enhanced demand for complex wiring and cabling needs, which creates a significant growth platform for the market.
