Surge in Aircraft Production Drives Demand for Advanced Landing Gear Systems

Published: Jul 2024

Global aircraft landing gear market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The significant rise in aircraft manufacturing globally drives the growth of the aircraft landing gear market. The market growth is also driven by the increasing demand for fleet expansion and the growth of low-cost and ultra-low-cost carriers. The demand for landing gear is strongly dependent on the arrival of novel aircraft and modernizing efforts for existing aircraft fleets with advanced flying and landing systems to offer the utmost safety in operations. The increased acquisition of next-generation aircraft owing to their improved feature and fuel efficiency is aiding considerably the global market growth.

The major restraining factor is the safety concern that hampers the market growth of landing gear. In the aviation industry, the safety of passengers is the topmost priority for airline operators. Landing gear systems comprise several system components and parts.  A slight mistake by the crew or engineering team in the functioning of this gear can lead to major aircraft disasters. In recent times, there have been a few airplane accidents, mostly at the time of aircraft landing, which has reiterated the risks surrounding these types of gear systems. Landing gear deployment failure incidents have led manufacturers to improve gear designs to prevent such mishaps. 

The North American region is projected to have the largest market share in the aircraft landing gears market. The region’s robust aviation industry, marked by major players and a high concentration of airlines, drives consistent demand for landing gear. The region's focus on upgrading aging fleets, along with increasing trends towards advanced manufacturing methods, further propels the aircraft landing gears market growth. The market is growing attributing to the surge in investment in R&D.
