The aircraft wheels and brakes market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 1,650.72 million in 2021 to US$ 3,147.99 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2021 to 2028.
Burgeoning demand for MRO activities in emerging economies is bolstering the market growth in this region. With the rapidly growing aviation industry from the past few years, the demand for airline MRO services is also increasing. Emerging economies, such as those in APAC, are highly focused on extending MRO services to commercial as well as military aircraft. Economic growth, increasing air passengers, and growing aviation infrastructure spending in APAC countries are the major factors driving the growth of the aircraft MRO services, which is subsequently providing lucrative opportunities for the growth of the aircraft wheels and brakes market. According to the International Air Transport Association, the total number of new passengers would increase to ~7.2 billion in the next 20 years, compared to 1.8 billion air passengers that travelled globally in 2020. The rising number of middle-class travelers, especially in India, China, and Singapore, among others, is the main factor contributing to air travel growth in the region. Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand generate a large amount of revenue from the aviation MRO services due to the presence of well-established MRO hubs in these countries. Singapore has a well- established MRO hub owing to the presence of players such as SIA Engineering Company Limited, Airbus, and Singapore Technologies Aerospace Ltd that have substantial aircraft models under respective MRO service umbrella. According to Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Singapore houses over 120 aerospace companies that contribute to ~25% of the MRO services business in APAC. Further, Singapore-based airlines observe substantial growth in passenger counts, which is compelling them to operate their aircraft fleet for extended periods. The flying frequency is directly proportional to the demand for MRO activities, including wheels and brakes repair or replacement. Countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines are witnessing a surge in aircraft MRO projects due to the rise in demand for the integration of advanced technologies and components from commercial aircraft operators. Thus, the growth in the number of aircraft MRO service providers and increase in aircraft fleet volumes in Southeast Asian countries is creating substantial business opportunities for the aircraft wheels and brakes market players.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the economy of APAC and its aerospace market, along with changing the customer attitude toward the sector. The region has witnessed a significant decline in the air transportation. As per IATA estimates Asia-Pacific airlines recorded a year-on-year revenue decline of US$ 113 billion in 2020. The reduction in air travel demand, and border restrictions have resulted in the grounding of aircraft at an unprecedented scale. ~18,000 aircraft, including the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380, were shelved in 2020 due to the collapse in passenger demand and bankruptcies. China is one of the leading aerospace manufacturing countries in the region and has been one of APAC's most affected countries by the pandemic during Q1 and Q2 of 2020. Airbus and Boeing manufacturing facilities in China were shut down for a long period, which resulted in substantially low demand for various components and systems, including wheels and brakes. Similarly, OMAC, an indigenous aircraft manufacturer in China, also halted its production of C919 during Q1. However, the aviation authorities, airlines, and aircraft manufacturers foresee a strong growth in APAC aviation industry. Owing to this, several airlines and military forces are ordering and taking deliveries of newer aircraft models. This is expected to drive the demand for aircraft wheels, brakes, and braking systems among commercial and military MRO facilities and aircraft manufacturers. With the decline in COVID-19 cases, many manufacturing plants and facilities are starting to open up in various countries in APAC, and employees are also returning to work. Countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia have made better progress in recent weeks, having ramped up their vaccination programs. In contrast, Singapore has been the leader among the APAC economies, with a first-dose vaccination rate as a share of total population that is amongst the highest in the world, on a par with the UK and Canada.
The retro fit segment led the aircraft wheels and brakes market based on fit type in 2020. The retrofit segment holds the largest market size in the aircraft wheels and brakes market. This is due to the rising maintenance, repairing, and overhauling services of existing aircraft fleets on a regular interval basis to protect wheels and brakes against corrosion. For instance, the majority of the commercial large aircraft fleet requires the overhauling of wheels after every five tire changes. In addition, according to Lufthansa Technik (aircraft maintenance, repairing, and overhauling company) retrofits around 20,000 wheels on yearly basis at Frankfurt Airport. Similarly, carbon brakes are overhauled on every 2,000 landings. Further, the heavy commercial aircraft tires retrofit with new tires on every 120 to 400 landings depending on a few factors such as the total weight of an aircraft, materials used in brakes and other components, total capacity of aircraft. The abovementioned factors are subsequently providing significant growth prospects for the aircraft wheels and brakes market for the retrofit segment, which is ultimately drives the aircraft wheels and brakes market.
