An increase in air passenger traffic is expected to propel the growth of the aircraft pumps market. Air passenger traffic refers to the total number of passengers traveling by air on commercial flights over a specific period, reflecting the demand and utilization of air transport services. Air passenger traffic is rising due to increasing global disposable incomes, enabling more people to afford air travel for business and leisure. As air travel grows, the demand for aircraft rises accordingly. Aircraft pumps support air passenger traffic by ensuring reliable fuel, hydraulic, and lubrication systems, which enhance aircraft safety, performance, and on-schedule operations. For instance, in August 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based trade association, global passenger air traffic reached 9.8 billion passengers in 2025, marking a 3.7% increase from 2024. Therefore, an increase in air passenger traffic is driving the growth of the aircraft pumps market.

Major companies in the aircraft pumps market are developing advanced pumps, such as hydraulic pumps, to gain a competitive edge and expand their product offerings. A hydraulic pump is a device that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by generating flow and pressure within a hydraulic system. It operates by moving fluid, usually oil, to power machinery or equipment across various applications. For example, in September 2023, Rotorweld, a New Zealand-based aircraft maintenance company, launched an external hydraulic pump drive kit compatible with Airbus AS350 [H125] and EC130 [H130] series helicopters. The kit is quick and easy to install, allowing the belt-driven hydraulic pump to operate as if the helicopter were running, enabling flight control movements, hydraulic system functional checks, and leak inspections.

In January 2024, Crane Company, a US-based industrial products company, acquired Vian Enterprises for $103 million. The acquisition aims to enhance Crane’s capabilities in the Aerospace & Electronics segment, particularly in fluid management solutions. This acquisition is expected to significantly expand Crane's portfolio of mission-critical aerospace flow control products and strengthen its position in both commercial and military aircraft markets. Vian Enterprises is a US-based manufacturer of lubrication pumps and systems for aerospace.

Aircraft pumps are devices employed to transfer substances such as water, air, or gas from one container to another within an aircraft. These pumps operate through displacement, ensuring the proper flow and functioning of various systems on the aircraft. Types of aircraft pumps include hydraulic pumps, fuel pumps, waste and wastewater pumps, and others, each serving specific functions to maintain the aircraft's operational efficiency.

The primary types of aircraft pumps are hydraulic, fuel, lube & scavenge, water & wastewater, and air conditioning & cooling pumps. Hydraulic pumps, for example, transfer non-compressible fluid through an aircraft's hydraulic system, commonly used to operate wheel brakes, retractable landing gear, and constant-speed propellers on smaller aircraft. Aircraft types utilizing these pumps include fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Technologies employed in aircraft pumps include engine-driven, electric motor-driven, ram air turbine-driven, and air-driven mechanisms. These pumps are available with different pressure output levels, ranging from up to 350 pounds per square inch (PSI), between 350 to 1,500 PSI, between 1,500 to 3,000 PSI, and above 3,000 PSI. Aircraft pumps are utilized by both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.
