Aerospace Oxygen System Global Market Report 2024

The aerospace oxygen system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.11 billion in 2023 to $5.48 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. During the historic period, the surge in growth can be attributed to multiple factors, including stringent adherence to safety regulations and standards, the expansion of commercial aviation, ongoing modernization efforts in military aircraft, increased adoption of long-haul flights, and extended operations, alongside a heightened focus on aircraft cabin pressurization.

The aerospace oxygen system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.05 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. In the forecast period, the anticipated growth can be linked to rising post-pandemic air travel demands, the burgeoning expansion of air ambulance and medical flights, a strong emphasis on lightweight and efficient systems, as well as integration efforts with next-generation aircraft. Notable trends in this period encompass the adoption of advanced materials, increased focus on retrofitting and upgradation services, global expansion initiatives within the aviation sector, the development of portable oxygen solutions, and a concentrated emphasis on environmental sustainability.

The anticipated increase in air traffic is set to propel the growth of the aerospace oxygen system market. Air traffic encompasses the movement of aircraft through airspace, encompassing take-offs, landings, and navigation of various aerial vehicles. Aerospace oxygen systems play a crucial role in air traffic operations, particularly during high-altitude flights or military missions. These systems are essential to enable efficient and safe work for personnel, including pilots, crew members, and specialist operators, at high altitudes where the oxygen concentration is insufficient for regular breathing. Highlighting this trend, a March 2023 report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics revealed a substantial year-on-year increase in US airline passengers. In 2022, US airlines transported 194 million more passengers than in 2021, marking a 30% increase, with a total of 853 million passengers handled throughout the year.

The ongoing trend of aircraft fleet modernization is also poised to drive the aerospace oxygen system market. Fleet modernization involves airlines and aviation operators updating and replacing their existing aircraft with newer, more advanced, and fuel-efficient models. This process stimulates demand for upgraded oxygen systems that align with contemporary safety and performance standards. As of February 2023, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) reported a significant growth in aircraft orders and deliveries for major manufacturers Airbus and Boeing, with a 53% increase in orders and a 20% rise in deliveries compared to the previous year. This surge in aircraft fleet modernization activities contributes to the growing demand for aerospace oxygen systems, driving market growth.

Major players in the aerospace oxygen system market are strategically incorporating advanced features, such as pulse technology, to enhance their market competitiveness and profitability. Pulse oximetry, a technology widely used in both medical and aerospace applications, serves the purpose of measuring the oxygen saturation levels in a person's blood. In line with this trend, Collins Aerospace, a prominent US-based aerospace and defense technology provider, introduced the OXYJUMP NG system in May 2023. This cutting-edge system, leveraging Collins' oxygen pulse technology, offers an extended gliding distance, ensuring safer jumps with a significant reduction in size and weight compared to its predecessors. Tailored for allied armed forces, the OXYJUMP NG system prioritizes stealth, readiness, and safety, incorporating automatic adjustment of oxygen levels for longer mission profiles and featuring user-friendly design elements such as an ergonomically designed mask.

Major companies in the aerospace oxygen system market are actively engaged in developing innovative products such as oxygen generators to drive profitability. Oxygen generators are specialized devices designed to produce oxygen gas from a source material, finding applications across industrial, medical, and aerospace sectors. Demonstrating this trend, Diehl Aerospace GmbH, a leading German company specializing in interiors and avionics, introduced the Universal Oxygen Generator (UO₂G). This particular product, developed for emergency use on Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft, utilizes a unique chemical process involving sodium chlorate to produce oxygen, leaving only common salt as residue. Unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (Aix) in Hamburg in 2022, Diehl Aviation plans to launch the Universal Oxygen Generator in the coming year, targeting airlines following the 15-year replacement guideline for oxygen generators.

In September 2023, O2 Aero Acquisitions LLC, a US-based aerospace firm, completed the acquisition of Fluid Power Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move by O2 Aero is geared towards broadening its range of oxygen systems across military and civil aviation sectors, while also expanding its manufacturing capabilities and augmenting its engineering proficiency. Fluid Power Inc., based in the US, specializes in the production of aviation-grade oxygen systems.
