The Global Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit market was valued at USD 3560 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 3.44% during the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to rising demand for Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit in the aircraft industry across the globe.
Aircraft Auxiliary power units are conducive to increasing the range of aircraft in case of engine failure. These backup systems offer a second line of power after any engine power outage and help the aircraft maintain its operations. These battery systems are usually on standby and are charged with the help of power generated by the aircraft’s engines. The aircraft auxiliary power unit provides hydraulic power, pneumatic power supply, and electrical power supply assisting the aircraft to fly.
The Global Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit market was valued at USD 3560 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 3.44% during the forecast period (2024-2032). One of the key factors that has supported the growth of the global aircraft auxiliary power unit market is the rising sales of commercial aircraft. The upshift in air travel due to the revival after the COVID-19 pandemic has led a sizable number of airlines across the globe to expand their fleet. Additionally, international as well as domestic travel is also observed across the leading economies due to which the demand for commercial aircraft fleet has also been instigated. For instance, in 2023, Indigo (Interglobe Aviation) announced its plans to purchase 500 Airbus A320 aircraft. A steady stream of delivery will be provided to the company between 2030 to 2035.
In another instance, in 2024, American Airlines announced to purchase of 260 new aircraft. These aircraft models will include 90 Embraer E175, 85 Boeing 737 Max, and 85 Airbus A321neo.
With the surge in the demand for new commercial aircraft, the demand for aircraft auxiliary power units among the OEM would significantly rise as it is an integral part of commercial aircraft. Additionally, various other aircraft categories such as cargo aircraft both commercial and military, helicopters for transport, and military applications are also experiencing rapid surges across the globe. Considering all these shifts the demand for aircraft auxiliary power units is anticipated to rise during 2024-2032.
This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the Global Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit Market as identified by our team of research experts.
Shift Towards Electric Aircraft
Electric aircraft is one of the fastest growing categories which would be crucial for the uptick in the demand for aircraft auxiliary power unit market. The respective systems use electric batteries for the running of the hydraulic and other pneumatic systems in the aircraft further promoting zero-carbon emission and sustainability in the aviation industry. As the respective category is used for air taxis, short-range recreational travel, and other applications the requirement for a robust secondary power unit to avoid any accident due to power failure in the main power source would also come into the picture. Considering these shifts and rising application and integration of electric aircraft the demand for aircraft auxiliary power units would emerge during forthcoming years.
North America is Expected to Hold Major Market Share During Forecast Period
North America’s auxiliary power unit has held a major market share due to the presence of a high number of commercial and military aircraft production units. Additionally, the region is also home to a sizeable number of large buyers for aircraft as leading logistics providers, commercial aviation providers, and air forces in leading countries such as the US, Canada, and Mexico. As the region is also one of the leading exporters of aircraft of both commercial and military categories the demand for new-age aircraft has been observed further strengthening the demand for aircraft and instigating the demand for aircraft auxiliary power units in the OEM category. Additionally, the region has experienced many leading shifts as follows:
In 2022, UPS announced to purchase of 8 more Boeing 767 Freighters to expand its carrier fleet to 108 aircraft. According to Boeing the delivery of these aircraft will start from the year 2025.
In another instance, in 2024, Air Canada announced its purchase of 8 Boeing 737Max aircraft which are scheduled to be delivered by 2025. The deal is in line with the company’s plans to expand its fleet size to accommodate the growing demand for air travel across the globe.
