The aircraft wheels and brakes market in South America is expected to grow from US$ 763.13 million in 2021 to US$ 1,067.77 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2028.
Electric brakes and fiber-reinforced plastic wheels are propelling the demand for aircraft wheels and brakes. Electric brakes have emerged as an attractive alternative to conventional aircraft brake systems due to their benefits such as reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions due to optimized weight of aircraft. These brake systems come with easy installation procedures and maintenance requirements, which simplifies the process of retrofitting for aircraft MRO services players. The electric brake systems integrate smart features such as real-time assessment of carbon disk wear and quick data transmission to the cockpit to bring greater convenience in aircraft operations. The anti-oxidation coating on brakes increases their service life and provides better protection against de-icing products. Electric brakes are predominantly used in several military aircraft models; however, B787 Dreamliner is the only commercial aircraft model that uses electric brakes. Advanced features of these brakes such as real-time assessment reporting and data transmission make them popular among aircraft manufacturers. With these benefits, electric brake systems are anticipated to become a prominent trend in the aircraft wheels and brakes market in the coming years. In the aircraft wheel manufacturing segment, many conceptual developments are underway as several manufacturers are concentrating on the development of fiber-reinforced plastics wheels. Since wheels bear the maximum dynamic and thermal loads during aircraft take-off and landing, several stakeholders are engaged in exploring different advanced raw materials as better replacements for aluminum or magnesium in wheel production. Thus, a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic wheel is emerging as a significant trend in the aircraft wheels and brakes market.
In South America Brazil has the highest number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador, among others. Governments of South American countries has taken all necessary actions to protect their citizens and control the COVID-19 spread. Brazil is the largest spender in the aerospace industry and the only modern aircraft manufacturing country in the region. Owing to this, the demand for components and aircraft related systems and technologies is at an all-time high in the country. In addition, the majority of the components are imported from the US, China, and European countries. The slowdown in commercial and military aircraft production in these countries has impaired the supply chain in Brazil. This has weakened the demand for several components, including wheels and brakes.
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.
