Aircraft Environmental Control Systems Market Trends

• Growing demand for improved cabin safety and comfort is driving the aircraft environmental control systems market growth

Market CAGR for aircraft environmental control systems is driven by aircraft manufacturers placing a high value on passenger comfort and safety. Aircraft cabins are designed to provide enhanced safety, high levels of comfort, ambiance & services and ensure a positive passenger experience. Using advanced technology equipped by aircraft manufacturers ensures superior cabin safety and comfort for passengers. For instance, Boeing 747-8 aircraft have been equipped with new ECSs that integrate cabin air conditioning, cabin temperature, and air supply control systems. This ECS has been upgraded to offer high capacity, improved maintenance, and increased performance with the latest technologies. ECSs play an important role in cabin safety and comfort. Boeing uses an ECS lighter, more digitally controlled, less maintenance, and more reliable than earlier technologies. Another improvement in the new ECS is the advanced new bleed system and subfreezing packs.

Technological advancements in these systems are major factors driving the growth of the aircraft environmental control systems market. A second major factor is increased air traffic during the forecast period. To meet the constantly growing demand for air travel, airlines in developed and developing countries order more aircraft. Due to the continuously increasing disposable incomes of consumers in developing and developed regions across the globe, the need for air travel is increasing significantly, which in turn is expected to accelerate the aircraft environmental control systems market growth during the analysis period.

In conjunction with the increasing government investments in the aerospace & defense sectors of developing economies across the globe, new aircraft fleets are expected to be in high demand as the aviation industry grows. During the forecast period, this is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the aircraft environmental control systems market. Further, developing Asian countries, such as China, India, and other ASEAN countries, are expected to make up most of the demand for new aircraft fleets in the coming years because they have large populations and rapidly developing economies, thus widening the market scope. Several aircraft manufacturers are targeting ASEAN countries for the establishment of manufacturing plants. The aircraft ECS manufacturers and suppliers can leverage these lucrative opportunities through partnerships with ASEAN-based aircraft manufacturers. Thus, driving the aircraft environmental control systems market revenue.

Aircraft Environmental Control Systems Market Segment Insights

Aircraft Environmental Control Systems End-User Industry Insights

The aircraft environmental control systems market segmentation, based on the end-user industry, includes defense and commercial. The defense segment dominated the aircraft environmental control systems market, accounting for 53% of market revenue. Defense investments in improving battlefield capabilities have contributed to the growth of the defense segment of the environmental control system market. In 2019, Meggitt PLC opened a center of excellence for aerospace services and support in Florida. The facility serves all major American airlines and major OEMs, including Rolls-Royce, Collins Aerospace, Boeing, GE, and others, and benefits defense and civil customers.

Aircraft Environmental Control Systems System Insights

The aircraft environmental control systems market segmentation, based on the system, includes air supply & management systems, thermal management & control system, and cabin pressure & control system. The thermal management & control system segment dominated the aircraft environmental control systems market, accounting for 36% of market revenue. As heat loads increase as the system architectures of environmental control systems evolves, avionics functionality continues to evolve, and composite material systems become more sensitive to temperature changes, this segment will continue to grow.

Aircraft Environmental Control Systems Component Insights

The aircraft environmental control systems market data, based on the component, includes temperature regulators, pressure regulators, heat exchangers, valves, and water separators. The temperature regulators segment dominated the aircraft environmental control systems market, accounting for 34% of market revenue. A cockpit's temperature can be controlled by controlling the supply air temperature downstream of the Cold Air Unit (CAU) or cooling pack. To maintain a comfortable environment in the cockpit, it is necessary to properly control the temperature of this supply air. Temperature control systems often experience limited cycle fluctuations.

Aircraft Environmental Control Systems Platform Insights

The aircraft environmental control systems industry, based on platform, includes fixed wing, commercial fixed wing aircraft type, defense fixed wing aircraft type, and rotary wings. The fixed-wing category generated the most income (67.6%). It takes more effort to design the ECS for fixed-wing aircraft than for rotary wings since they fly at a much higher altitude and have a much greater range. Fixed-wing aircraft demand is anticipated to increase in both commercial and general aviation sectors rapidly, so electric motors must be used simultaneously to drive cutting-edge aircraft. Second, manufacturers are developing advanced aircraft electric motors to replace heavy conventional aircraft parts.
