Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What are aircraft electrical distribution systems?

Aircraft electrical distribution systems are networks that deliver electrical power from the aircraft’s power generation sources, such as generators or batteries, to various onboard systems and components. These systems ensure that all electrical equipment, from flight controls and avionics to lighting and cabin systems, receives a stable and continuous supply of power throughout the flight.

The distribution system includes wiring, circuit breakers, relays, switches, and power control units that manage how electricity is routed and protected. It divides the electrical load into different channels or buses, such as essential, non-essential, and emergency buses, to prioritize critical operations in case of power failure. In essence, aircraft electrical distribution systems act as the circulatory system of the aircraft’s electrical network, ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable power delivery to all vital systems.

Segment Analysis

By Aircraft Type

"Commercial aircraft accounted for the largest market share."

• Based on the aircraft type, the market is segmented as commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, helicopter, military aircraft, and UAV. Among these aircraft types, commercial aircraft are expected to remain the biggest demand generator for distribution systems during the forecast period.
• The aircraft type is also likely to grow at a healthy rate in the years to come. Recovering aircraft deliveries are discernible. Under its current year guidance report, Airbus is targeting to deliver 800 aircraft in 2024, as compared to 735 delivered in 2023. A sharp increase in the production rate of the A350 XWB and B787 is expected in the coming years, reaching back to 2018 levels.

By Product Type

"SSPC accounted for the largest market share."

• Based on the product type, the market is segmented as solid-state power controllers (SSPC), relays, contactors, circuit breakers, and others. Among these product types, SSPC is expected to remain the most dominant product type in the market during the forecast period.
• SSPCs are the major components used for circuit protection. SSPC generally includes the combination of a circuit breaker and a relay and is very crucial in electrically controlling and isolating a circuit in case of flow of excessive electric current or power surge incidents.

Regional Analysis

"North America accounted for the largest market share."

• In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft electrical distribution systems during the forecast period. The USA remains the growth propeller of the region’s market in the years to come. The country is the preferred destination for aircraft assembly with the presence of almost all the leading OEMs and tier players.
• Asia-Pacific, the largest procurer of commercial aircraft, is also likely to create sizeable market opportunities in the coming years, driven by an expected rise in air passenger traffic coupled with a high focus on China, Japan, and India for the indigenous manufacturing of aircraft.
