Aircraft Brackets Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Orders and Deliveries of Narrow Body Aircraft
The aviation industry has matured rapidly over the years, recording a significant number of aircraft production and deliveries. This has showcased massive order volumes for various commercial aircraft manufacturers worldwide. Commercial aviation is foreseen to surge in the coming years with an increase in air travel passengers and aircraft volumes. The increase in orders of narrow body passenger and commercial aircraft across the globe drives the demand for aircraft brackets. After the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing geopolitical wars in Europe and the Middle East, the global economy is weakening. However, people's desire to travel and the flow of travel have increased. In addition, the rapid growth of secondary and tertiary airports has continued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, airlines plan to expand to more remote locations by launching routes to smaller city airports. With the increasing number of aircraft and airports, the demand for aircraft brackets is also rising.

Airbus and Boeing are the two aircraft manufacturing giants with significantly higher volumes of orders and delivery statistics. These two aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) continuously encounter orders for various aircraft models from civil airlines. The table below highlights the comparison of orders and deliveries from Airbus and Boeing during 2020–2023:
Aircraft Orders and Deliveries, by Boeing and Airbus, 2020 and 2023
Years | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | ||||
Commercial Aircraft | ||||||||
Aircraft Manufacturers | Boeing | Airbus | Boeing | Airbus | Boeing | Airbus | Boeing | Airbus |
Orders | 184 | 383 | 909 | 771 | 935 | 1078 | 1456 | 2319 |
Deliveries | 157 | 566 | 340 | 609 | 480 | 661 | 528 | 735 |
Moreover, Airbus forecasts that 40,850 new passenger and cargo aircraft will be delivered from 2023 to 2042, of which 32,630 will be typical single-aisle aircraft and 8,220 will be typical wide body aircraft. In addition, the demand for freight aircraft is projected to reach 2,510 aircraft, with 920 newly built during the same timeframe. Thus, the increase in orders and deliveries of narrow body aircraft drives the market.
Increasing Global Aircraft Fleet Size
According to Avolon's study on global commercial passenger aviation, the aviation fleet is expected to grow 94% to reach 46,880 aircraft by 2042. This is owing to the continued growth in demand for air travel, building on the rapid recovery since COVID-19 travel restrictions. According to the study by Avolon, China, India, Asia, and South America are expected to show more than 3.5% growth in air travel from 2023 to 2042; however, North America and Europe will register moderate growth between 2 and 3% during this timeframe. In addition, the huge rise in the number of aircraft fleets in the regions mentioned above is expected to create opportunities for key aircraft bracket manufacturers across the globe.
In addition, according to the ch-aviation data on aircraft fleet orders from across the world, as of June 2023, the US accounted for the highest number of aircraft orders (excluding military aircraft and aircraft with unknown operator/engine) globally with a total of 3,147 aircraft on order, followed by Ireland, China, and India with 1,247; 1,239; and 888 aircraft orders, respectively. According to the same data, the top 5 consumers with aircraft orders include United Airlines, IndiGo Airlines, Lion Air, Air Lease Corporation, and AirAsia. An increase in orders and the growth of the global aircraft fleet are expected to raise the demand for aircraft brackets, which is anticipated to create opportunities for the key players operating in the market from 2023 to 2031.
