North America is estimated to contribute 36% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The aviation industry is matured in North America, particularly due to the robust aviation base in the US. By the end of 2020, about one-third of the global fleet was operational in North America, and the number is expected to increase in the next two decades. Hence, the demand is higher in North America. Furthermore, the US makes large investments in military aviation as well. The spending in the military aircraft market is fueled by procurement programs such as the Joint Strike Fighter program undertaken by the US. Other major programs include the procurement of a KC-46A aerial refueling tanker and Poseidon P8A aircraft. Hence, all such factors will fuel the market growth during the forecast period. The market in focus is expected to have the highest growth during the forecast period as the region is an aviation hub and home to most of the industry-leading stakeholders. It is also witnessing partnerships and investments that will lead to market growth during the market forecast period.
In the aviation industry, aircraft fuel systems are the backbone of operational efficiency and safety. From robust fuel management systems to reliable fuel distribution systems and fuel delivery systems, every component plays a crucial role. Aircraft fuel pumps ensure proper fuel flow, while fuel gauges provide accurate readings for pilots. Fuel storage systems guarantee adequate reserves, complemented by efficient aircraft fuel refueling and transfer systems.
Critical components such as aircraft fuel valves, aircraft fuel filters, and aircraft fuel lines play crucial roles in maintaining system integrity, requiring regular maintenance, repair, and inspection. The aviation industry embraces continuous technological advancements, leading to ongoing upgrades and optimization of aircraft fuel systems. These efforts aim to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce fuel consumption across commercial aircraft fleets. Simultaneously, the market for commercial aircraft Electronic Flight Bag Systems (EFB) is advancing, facilitating efficient flight operations through digital solutions. EFB systems provide pilots with access to vital flight information, including charts, manuals, weather updates, and operational data, optimizing decision-making and enhancing safety. As industry stakeholders analyze data from 2023 onwards to identify key drivers, trends, and challenges, this comprehensive understanding supports refining marketing strategies. It enables companies to capitalize on emerging opportunities and maintain a competitive edge in the dynamic aviation market landscape.
The market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the adoption of advanced technologies like fuel management systems and fuel distribution systems. Aircraft fuel pumps and delivery systems play crucial roles in ensuring efficient fuel transfer. Fuel gauges and storage systems enable accurate monitoring and management of fuel levels. Refueling and transfer systems enhance operational flexibility, while fuel valves and filters maintain system integrity.
Maintenance, repair, and inspection services are vital for sustained operation, with upgrades optimizing system performance. Fuel efficiency systems and consumption monitoring technologies are increasingly important, driving fuel system optimization and advancements in fuel technology.
The use of electrical capacitive sensor systems and compensators for temperature adjustments maximizes efficiency, supported by rigorous calibration procedures. Integration of multiple probes and measuring units further enhances efficiency, contributing to market growth in the forecast period.
The continuous improvements in aircraft components are emerging trends in the market. Flight conditions are undergoing rapid changes due to the introduction of new routes because of the increasing traffic at airports globally. These new routes include those that involve a higher altitude as well as those flying over the Arctic region. To attain higher altitudes, aircraft should be able to climb and land swiftly to optimize flight routes. Due to the changes in external environmental conditions within a short span of time, aircraft systems, particularly power generation systems, are vulnerable to failures due to the formation of ice, fire hazards, fuel system failure, and others. Thus, to maintain impeccable safety protocols, several government organizations along with companies operating in the aerospace industry, are working toward developing more reliable and durable components for aircraft systems, including fuel systems.
With the implementation of disruptive technologies, such as the integration of advanced composite components, the evolution of more-electric aircraft models, and the adoption of alternative fuels, it is necessary to ensure the enhancement of safety factors in line with operational efficiency. Companies, both fuel system manufacturers and suppliers of fuel system components, have been directed toward more effective water detection in the fuel tank, analysis of icing phenomena in the fuel system, improved flammability protection in the fuel tank, and an effectual inserting system. Furthermore, these companies are focusing on the elimination of possible ignition risks in the fuel tank. The continuous improvements in aircraft components will enhance the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The deterioration of fuel tanks due to fungal growth is a major challenge impeding market growth. The presence of fungi species, such as Hormoconis resinae (a fungus that feeds on hydrocarbon molecules in Jet-A) in fuel tanks can severely affect the performance of engine turbines in aircraft. The fungus grows rapidly, particularly in warm tropical temperatures, but turns dormant in colder climatic conditions. However, the fungus becomes active again when the temperature rises.
The waste from the bug has corrosive properties and, thus, reduces the longevity of tanks. The bacteria also feed on the sealant, which causes leaks and other damage, such as the clogging of fuel filters. Clogging, in turn, can cause the fuel quantity indication system to display incorrect values. In such cases, the maintenance personnel will be unaware of the structural corrosion of the aluminum stringers and wing skin until it is too late. However, the fuel can be treated with anti-microbial biostat as per the recommendations of aircraft manufacturers. If organic growth is found, the fungi can be treated with a biocide, followed by frequent checks for bacteria-free drains and filters. A number of manufacturers also recommend regular treatment even if bacterial growth is not indicated. Such factors are expected to decrease the demand during the forecast period.
