Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing number of military aircraft is notably driving the aircraft auxiliary power unit market growth, although factors such as the development of fuel cells for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the aircraft auxiliary power unit industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit Market Driver

• The increasing number of military aircraft is one of the key drivers supporting the aircraft auxiliary power unit (APU) market growth
• In recent times, Asia has been the largest buyer of fighter aircraft owing to countries such as Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, expanding their aerial fleet in response to the moves by China to assert territorial claims in the South China Sea.
• India, on the other hand, is engaged in border disputes with Pakistan as well as is concerned about the Chinese attempts that aim to expand Beijing's influence in South Asia.
• Israel has close ties with the existing Saudi regime, which has led to the deployment of 18 fighter jets in Saudi Arabia in support of the new Crown Prince bin Salman.
• South Korea raised its defense budget by 7.4% for 2020 as it strives to strengthen self-defense capabilities amid growing security uncertainties. Such increasing investments will drive the aircraft auxiliary power unit (APU) market growth during the forecast period.

Key Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit Market Trend

• The emergence of hydrazine-powered emergency power units is one of the key aircraft auxiliary power unit market trends fueling the market growth.
• Hydrazine is mainly used in EPUs as it is maintenance-free, simple in characteristics, and supplies power immediately and consistently for the required time.
• Hydrazine-powered EPUs can run for a relatively brief period before running out, can act as a short-term source of electrical power, and serve as a cheap and efficient catalyst.
• Hydrazine-powered EPUs have found their application in Lockheed Martin's F-16. EPUs using hydrazine spins up to 75,000 rpm, causing them to start within two seconds. Such advantages of EPUs will increase their demand during the forecast period. This, in turn, will propel the aircraft auxiliary power unit market growth during the forecast period.

Key Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit Market Challenge

• The development of fuel cells for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is one of the challenges hampering the military aircraft APU market growth.
• Using APU onboard aircraft releases large amounts of heat and carbon, which has led to the development of alternative powering technologies such as fuel cells. 
• Global Hawk, which is the US Air Force's high-altitude, long-endurance UAV, was selected by a defense analysis institute to determine a fuel cell system on board aircraft.
• The breakeven point in the study was to check the viability of using a fuel cell, keeping two parameters in measurements such as the overall reduction in power required from the aircraft engine and the corresponding fuel savings using fuel cells versus the weight added to the aircraft by the fuel cell system. 
• Fuel cells will likely substitute APUs in UAVs and may promise a potential growth in military and commercial aircraft as well. Thus, the development of fuel cells threatens the growth potential of the global military aircraft APU market. 

This aircraft auxiliary power unit market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

The aircraft auxiliary power unit market share growth by the commercial segment will be significant during the forecast period. Commercial airliners are used for the transport of passengers and cargo. An auxiliary power unit (APU) is a small gas turbine engine that is placed on the tail cone of commercial aircraft to provide autonomous electrical and mechanical power. The main purpose of an aircraft APU is to provide power to start the main engines. The turbine engines must be propelled to a high rotational speed to generate enough air compression for self-sustaining operations. The APU is a critical system that requires routine and heavy maintenance checks to ensure commercial aircraft operators meet dispatch reliability goals. Such factors will drive the segment growth during the forecast period and thereby driving the growth of the aircraft APU market.

This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the aircraft auxiliary power unit market size and actionable market insights on post COVID-19 impact on each segment.
