Aerospace Fluid Conveyance Systems Market Size, Share, Trend, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2021-2026

Market Insights

Fluid conveyance systems are one of the most critical components in an aircraft in order to perform functions, such as ventilation, pressurization, fluid, water & fuel flow, humidity or containment control, anti-icing, noise attenuation, and controlling heating & cooling. Aircraft fluid conveyance system primarily includes hoses, tubes, and metallic and composite ducts (high-pressure and low-pressure ducts.

The aerospace industry faced consecutive setbacks with the best-selling aircraft B737 MAX’s grounding in 2019, followed by the ravaging pandemic in 2020, leaving the stakeholders stunned with outlandish losses. The unforeseen and dire circumstances momentarily shook the industry stakeholders forcing them to resort to extreme measures and reorient their age-old strategies in order to ensure survival and long-term stability.

The aerospace fluid conveyance systems, a sizeable market, could not escape from such trends and witnessed a colossal decline (-27% in 2020) amid the pandemic. However, as the buoyant aerospace industry gradually heads towards the path of healing, a similar impact is likely to be felt in the aerospace fluid conveyance systems market, which is likely to recoup from 2021 onwards, marking a healthy CAGR of 8.2% during 2021-2026 to reach US$ 4.5 Billion by 2026.

Based on the product type, the aerospace fluid conveyance systems market is segmented as hose assemblies, duct assemblies, and tube assemblies. Duct assembly took the throne in 2020 with the highest share in the market. Ducts are situated throughout the aircraft, from the engine through the fuselage to the leading edges of the wings and the tail of the aircraft. Between low-pressure and high-pressure, high-pressure ducts dominate the aerospace industry.

Based on the material type, we have segmented the market as nickel-chromium alloys, titanium & alloys, steel & alloys, composites, Teflon, and others. Nickel-Chromium alloys held an irrefutable lead in the market in 2020. Nickel-Chromium alloys offer several advantages, such as high strength, excellent fabricability, outstanding corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand at cryogenic to 1800°F (982°C). Composites are rapidly gaining traction in low-temperature and high-pressure applications, such as APU inlet, ECS inlet plenum, and APU plenum.

With the lowest decline in the demand for aerospace fluid conveyance systems by the pandemic, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the fastest-growing region in the market during the forecast period. On the other hand, North America is likely to take lead in the market, driven by the aerospace hub, the USA. The North American market is relatively more consolidated as compared to Europe, with the presence of global players, such as Exotic Metals (Parker-Hannifin), Arrowhead Products, Triumph Group, Unison Industries, and ITT Inc.
