Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What is an aircraft PSU?

Aircraft PSU is a component of an aircraft fitted above each row of seats. It consists of reading lights, an attendant call button, and illuminated signs (to let people know that the aircraft is a no-smoking zone and remind them to wear their seatbelts). Apart from these, it also contains loudspeakers, air gaspers (air outlets), air conditioning vents, and deployed oxygen masks (to be used in case of emergency).

\Many aircraft manufacturers are switching from traditional PSUs to sleek and elegant PSUs. Sleeker PSUs are preferred by airlines since they increase cabin space as well as make significant contributions to weight reduction. This has prompted numerous vendors to modify and improve their PSUs, making them sleeker and more appealing.

Segment Analysis

By Aircraft Type

"The narrow-body aircraft segment accounted for the largest market share."

• Based on the aircraft type,  the market is segmented into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, and regional aircraft. Narrow-body aircraft is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for PSUs during the forecast period in the wake of an expected increase in the production rate of key aircraft programs, rebounding aftermarket, and development of passenger-friendly cabin environments.

By End-User Type

"The OE segment accounted for the largest market share."

• Based on the end-user type, the aircraft PSU market is segmented into OE and aftermarket. OE is expected to lead the market during the forecast period, owing to increasing production rates of key aircraft programs (B737, A320 family, etc.) and the entry of new players (COMAC and Irkut). Aftermarket, securing a reasonable market share, is likely to generate a plethora of growth opportunities in the near future. Airlines either postponed or canceled their aircraft refurbishments in 2022 for the year 2023. This trend was visible at both OE and aftermarket levels. Increasing air passenger traffic is likely to rejuvenate the withered demand in the near future at the aftermarket level.

By Sales Channel Type

"The SFE segment accounted for the largest market share."

• Based on the sales channel type, the market is segmented as BFE (buyer-furnished equipment) and SFE (supplier-furnished equipment). SFE is expected to be the dominant as well as the fastest-growing sales channel type in the coming years. The ratio of SFE to BFE differs from company to company. Also, some players have a high focus on one channel type. For instance, Collins Aerospace has a major presence in SFE, whereas Diehl Aviation is one of the major players in BFE.

Regional Analysis

"North America accounted for the largest market share."

• In terms of region, North America is expected to remain the largest market during the forecast period. The presence of major aircraft manufacturers, tier players, distributors, and raw material suppliers primarily drives the demand for PSUs in the region. The USA, being the dominant market in the region, will continue to drive the market expansion in the region. Asia-Pacific is likely to experience the highest market growth in the next five years, owing to the development of commercial and regional aircraft (CMAC's C919), the presence of the largest fleet of commercial aircraft, and assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus in China.
