Industry Insights

[197+ Pages Report] According to the report published by Facts and Factors, The global aircraft filters market was worth USD 0.79 Billion in 2020 and is expected to be worth about USD 1.03 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2026. The report analyzes the aircraft filters market’s drivers, restraints, and challenges and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the aircraft filters market.

Market Overview

Filters are pieces of equipment that keep dirt, solid particles, and debris out of aircraft engines, hydraulic systems, aircraft cylinders, cabins, and other areas. Air filters are extremely important for aircraft maintenance and efficiency. It aids in improving performance and efficiency, as well as supplying passengers with clean air. These filters aid in the reduction of maintenance expenses while also ensuring a safer and more efficient functioning.

Specific filters are available from a variety of vendors that may be utilized in low-temperature situations without the use of antifreeze or mechanical heating devices. Some of the primary factors driving the growth of the Global Aircraft Filters Market during the forecast period include rising disposable income of a constantly expanding population around the world, especially in developing economies, rising demand for aircraft, rising demand for replacement aerospace filters, rising demand for UAVs, and increasing regulations on aircraft emissions. Aircraft filters are made up of filtering materials that aid in the separation of contaminants from fuels as well as the prevention of fuel pollution.

Industry Growth Factors

Factors such as increased passenger traffic, rising demand for aircraft from major countries in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa region, and short aircraft filter replacement cycles are expected to boost the global aircraft filter market. Over the forecast period, increased demand for speciality aircraft filters, such as microfilters, and new aircraft for military applications are expected to boost the global aircraft filter market.

A key aspect driving demand in the MRO segment is the short replacement cycle of an aircraft filter. An airplane filter's replacement cycle is determined by the number of flight hours and calendar days (whichever occurs first). This cycle can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months, with 300 to 3,500 flying hours. A high volume of passengers entails a high number of filter cycles for the airplane.

COVID-19 Impact on Aerospace Filter Market

In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic became a global disaster, affecting the aviation industry's income, traffic, and connection. Airlines have been particularly hard hit, since they have been unable to recoup their capital and operational expenditures as a result of flight cancellations. This has generated a unique set of risks to airport operations and is hindering continued growth, affecting aerospace filter sales as well.

Furthermore, manufacturing and supply chain operations are not permitted, resulting in minimal cash flow among sector participants. This has resulted in a slight decrease in aircraft component sales and has had a significant influence on the aircraft filter industry.

Segmentation Analysis

The aircraft filters market is divided into two segments based on the sales channel for aircraft filters: aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The OEM sector is predicted to develop at the quickest CAGR in the aviation filters market during the forecast period. OEMs acquire aircraft filters from their manufacturers. The reorganization and growth of airlines' fleets is likely to boost new aircraft sales, which will drive OEM demand for filters.

Additionally, the aircraft filters market is segmented into types by air filters, avionics filters, cabin air filters, odour absorbing filters, engine air intake filters, fuel and oil & lube filters, hydraulic filters, and others based on the kind of aircraft filter (noise filter, and specialty filters).

The aircraft filters market can be segmented into hydraulic system, engine, avionics, pneumatic system, and cabin based on the application of aircraft filters. Moreover, the aircraft filters market can be segmented into two segments based on the material used in the aircraft filters: aluminium and plastic.

The aircraft filters market can be segmented into military aviation, business aviation, commercial aviation, and others based on the vertical of aircraft filters. Among the vertical categories, filter installed in military aviation are anticipated to acquire more than 40% of the market share in 2020. Demand for military aircraft has surged owing to rising spending on the defence industry across several major and emerging economies such as the U.S., India, China, and Russia.

Report Scope

Regional Analysis

During the forecast period, North America is expected to hold the highest regional share of the aircraft filters market. In North America, the market is in its early stages, with significant aircraft manufacturers, aircraft filter manufacturers, and distributors participating. The United States and Canada are the countries in this region that are being studied for market research. The COVID-19 epidemic has had an impact on the manufacturing of raw materials, components, and assembly lines for aviation filters. Because of their application in the commercial and defence sectors, aviation systems, which include aircraft filters, are extremely important.

Despite economic uncertainty, the airplane filter markets in Europe and North America are expected to rise significantly throughout the projected period. Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region will serve as a locomotive for global expansion, with the region's airlines and airports expanding at a rapid pace and robust economic growth.
