Aircraft Seals Market Growth Rate, Future scope, Analysis, Business Development and CAGR to 2023
Market Highlights
A seal is one of the vital components of an aircraft and prevents the
passage, flow, or leakage of a gas or fluid between the components. It is
designed to provide long service life and low friction for extreme pressure
applications over a wide temperature range. The increasing need for
high-temperature resistant material will create new growth opportunities for
the market players. The factors driving the growth of the aircraft seals market are the increasing
demand for new commercial and business aircraft, increased defence spending,
replacement of old aircraft seals, and growing demand for new fighter jets in
developing countries, such as China and India. However, there are some
shortcomings in the operative performance of aircraft seals such as
recyclability issues of composite materials and backlogs in aircraft
deliveries. The market for aircraft seals is estimated to witness 5% CAGR
during the forecast period.
Aircraft to supply wheel well, nacelle, and aerodynamic seals. In 2016,
the Trelleborg Sealing Solutions acquired CoorsTek Inc., that specialized in
the manufacturing of precision seals for the aerospace industry. This
acquisition strengthened the presence of Trelleborg in North America and
enabled it to provide effective sealing solutions for major aircraft programs.
On the basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Asia
Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. In North America,
the presence of leading aircraft manufacturers and MRO facilities have
contributed to the high demand for aircraft seals. In Asia Pacific, high growth
rate of the market is due to the increase in air travel and subsequent demand
for new aircrafts in the region.. Meanwhile, in 2018, Meggitt Plc. signed a
contract with Avcorp Industries Inc. (Canada) and Vought
Market Scenario
The Aircraft
Seals Market has been
segmented into seal type, application, material, vendor, platform, and region.
Based on the seal type, the dynamic seal segment is widely used and comprises
the largest share in the market as it provides strengthening and lubrication
between the machine components during various movements, such as rotation,
reciprocation, and oscillation. Based on material, the composites segment is
widely used and comprise the largest share in the market due to high demands
for lightweight components. The carbon composite material possesses superior
sealing properties such as self-lubrication, heat resistance and high thermal
conductivity, which makes it a suitable choice for sealing material.
Furthermore, these materials are machinable according to the dimensional
tolerances of aerospace regulatory agencies.
The
factors responsible for the growing use of aircraft seals are the increasing
demand for new commercial and business aircraft, increased defense spending,
replacement of old aircraft seals, and growing demand for new fighter jets in
developing countries, such as China and India. There were several contracts
that fueled the market growth. In 2018, Meggitt Plc signed a contract with
Canadian AvCorp and Vought Aircraft to supply wheel well, nacelle, and aerodynamic
seals. Similarly, in the year 2016, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions acquired
CoorsTek Inc., which specialized in the manufacturing of precision seals for
the aerospace industry. This acquisition strengthened the presence of
Trelleborg in North America and enabled it to providing effective sealing
solutions for major aircraft programs.
Of late,
companies are investing in technology development to produce materials in
response to the wide variety of applications, including aircraft gearboxes, air
turbine motor starters, and main shaft seals for both aircraft turbine engines
and aircraft auxiliary power units. As a result, the higher investments are
being made on the development of highly durable aircraft seals to withstand
high temperatures. This would positively impact the market growth during the
forecast period. However, one of the major restraints of the market is
recyclability issues of composite materials and backlogs in aircraft
deliveries.
Based on
application, it is expected that the engine system segment would witness the
largest demand in the global market, during the forecast period, due to the
high price associated with seal as it designed to withstand high temperatures.
Brush seals, kiss seals, hydrodynamic seals, abradable seals, and metals seals
are mainly used in aircraft engines. Based on the vendor, the OEM segment is
expected to witness the largest demand due to increase in demand for new
aircraft. Based on the platform, the commercial aircraft segment is estimated
for largest share due to growing air passenger traffic and rising demand for
new commercial aircraft. Based on aircraft type, the fixed-wing segment is
expected to witness the largest demand due to increase in demand for commercial
and business aircraft.
