The dynamics and growth of the Airborne Lighting Detection Systems industry are shaped by various market factors, which also influence demand for avionic systems used by aircraft operators today. One important factor here is the increased emphasis on airplane safety measures among operators worldwide. The increasing technological advancements within aviation industries has led to many underlying causes for airplanes accidents including those associated with lightening.
The Airborne Lighting Detection Systems’ market factor is also influenced by technological advancements. Manufacturers are working tirelessly to improve the sophistication of their detection systems through research and development programs. These systems have continued to become increasingly advanced with advances in sensor technology, data processing algorithms and integration among other avionic systems. Stakeholders in this industry are always striving to come up with more effective products that will keep pace with changing times.
Worldwide, lightning-related incidents have been increasing in number and severity, which has led to various factors driving the market for Airborne Lightning Detection System Industry. The intense weather changes such as climate change and weather variability have resulted into increased intensity as well as occurrence of lightning storms. This necessitates an effective real-time system capable of monitoring lightening activities on board aircrafts.
The expansion of commercial aviation is a major market factor that affects the Airborne Lightning Detectors System Industry. As air travel continues to grow there has been rapid expansion of commercial airline fleets, which has driven demand for robust lightning detection. For instance, major airlines have been focusing on integrating modern avionics that include lighting detectors as a means to enhance their planes’ safety as well as reliability.
Another market driver of Airborne Lightning Detection System industry is military applications. For instance, these systems are crucial in preventing accidents due to lightning for the people inside and the successful accomplishment of missions of military aircraft that operate in various extreme conditions. The demand for advanced airborne lightning detection solutions is driven by defense sectors’ need to enhance situational awareness and operational capabilities. Overall, military requirements affect the development and customization of detection systems which in turn shapes the current market dynamics.
Airborne Lightning Detection System Market Highlights:
Global Airborne Lightning Detection System Market
Airborne lightning detection systems help avoid weather-related hazards such as thunderstorms by detecting electromagnetic activity. This helps minimize flight delays as the system sends impact data to maintenance centers ahead of landing, allowing for rapid post-landing analysis. In recent years, there have been a number of incidents of aircraft being struck by lightning or severely affected by harsh weather conditions. As a result, the airborne lightning detection system market is expected to grow at a significant pace during the forecast period.
However, the initial R&D expenses for airborne lightning detection technology is extremely high and there are backlogs in new aircraft deliveries, which limit use and restrict market growth. A lack of proper standards is also expected to hinder the growth of the airborne lightning detection system market.Â
Market Segmentation
The market has been segmented by equipment, aircraft type, end user, fit, and region.
On the basis of equipment, the market has been divided into lightning sensor, lightning processor, and lightning display. This equipment helps reduce the extent of damage caused by lightning strikes. The lightning sensor segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period owing to the increased adoption of these sensors. The lightning display segment is projected to be the largest during the review period.
By aircraft type, the market has been classified as fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and UAV. The fixed-wing segment is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for new commercial and military aircraft and the rising defense budgets in the US, China, and Germany.
On the basis of end user, the market has been segmented into defense and commercial. The commercial segment of the market is expected to be the larger and faster-growing during the forecast period owing to increasing air travel and a rise in per capita disposable income of the middle-class population.
Based on fit, the global market has been segregated into linefit and retrofit. The linefit segment of the market is expected to be the larger and faster-growing during the forecast period. This can be attributed to an increase in air passenger traffic in recent years.
