Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear Market Trends:

Growing Air Travel Demand

The rising number of air passengers globally, particularly in emerging markets, is driving increased aircraft production and fleet expansions, thus boosting the demand for landing gear systems. According to industry reports, the flight frequency counter shows the number of (one-way) flights in the schedule from 1st January 2024 to the end of the current week. With 27,099,697 flights in total to the end of this week, the average number of commercial flights per day is 101,878. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, every day, FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) provides service to more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers across more than 29 million square miles of airspace. The growing air traffic is likely to create a positive commercial aircraft landing gear market outlook.

Significant Technological Advancements

Innovations in lightweight materials like titanium and composites improve fuel efficiency, durability, and performance, making landing gear systems more attractive to manufacturers and airlines. For instance, in June 2023, TISICS, a company pioneering ceramic fiber-reinforced metal composite materials, made strides in the commercial aviation sector by unveiling Light Land, the company’s lightweight landing gear for commercial aircraft. The innovation will reportedly deliver CO2 savings by 2030, as well as demonstrate improved fuel efficiency, helping to propel the aerospace industry toward its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Currently, 50% of an aircraft is comprised of metal component. TISICS’ sustainable lightweight and high-strength hybrid alternative, developed as part of a project backed by £2.5 million in research and development (R&D) funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Innovate UK, in collaboration with Safran Landing Systems (Vélizy-Villacoublay, France), is said to be the world’s largest fiber-reinforced metal composite component for commercial aircraft.

Rising Fleet Modernization

Airlines are increasingly replacing aging aircraft with newer, more fuel-efficient models, creating demand for advanced, efficient landing gear systems to support modern aviation needs. For instance, in September 2024, Air India, India’s leading global airline, today announced the commencement of its over US$400m refit program for a phased revamp of 67 legacy aircraft in its fleet. This refit will lead to a refresh of the product to the new Air India experience, with a modern three-cabin configuration, new seats, new carpets, curtains, and upholstery. The refit program will start with the 27 narrowbody Airbus A320neo aircraft, followed by the 40 widebody Boeing aircraft.

Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on aircraft type, landing gear types, and arrangement type.

Breakup by Aircraft Type:

  • Narrow-Body
  • Wide-Body
  • Regional Jet
  • Others
     

Narrow-body accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the aircraft type. This includes narrow-body, wide-body, regional jet, and others. According to the commercial aircraft landing gear market report, the narrow body represented the largest segment.

The growth of narrow-body aircraft in the market is driven by the increasing demand for short- and medium-haul flights, which require cost-effective and efficient aircraft. Airlines prefer narrow-body aircraft due to their lower fuel consumption, reduced maintenance costs, and ability to serve high-frequency routes. Technological advancements in landing gear design, focusing on lightweight materials and durability, further enhance the performance of these aircraft. Additionally, expanding low-cost carriers and rising air travel in emerging markets contribute to the demand for narrow-body aircraft landing gear systems.

Breakup by Landing Gear Types:

  • Main Landing Gear
  • Nose Landing Gear
     

Main landing gear holds the largest share of the industry

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the landing gear types have also been provided in the report. This includes the main landing gear and nose landing gear. According to the report, main landing gear accounted for the largest market share.

The main landing gear accounts for the largest share of the commercial aircraft landing gear market because it bears most of the aircraft's weight during landing, takeoff, and ground operations. It requires stronger, more durable components, which drives higher demand for advanced materials and technologies. Additionally, the main landing gear's critical role in ensuring aircraft stability and safety necessitates regular maintenance and upgrades, further boosting its market share. As aircraft size and weight increase, demand for robust main landing gear systems continues to grow.

Breakup by Arrangement Type:

  • Tricycle
  • Tandem
  • Tailwheel
     

Tricycle represents the leading market segment 

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the arrangement type. This includes tricycle, tandem, and tailwheel. According to the report, tricycle represented the largest segment.

The tricycle arrangement holds the largest segment in the market due to its superior stability, maneuverability, and widespread adoption in modern aircraft designs. Featuring two main wheels and a nose wheel, this configuration enhances weight distribution during takeoff and landing, improving safety and control. Tricycle landing gear also allows better ground visibility for pilots and easier taxiing, which is driving the commercial aircraft landing gear demand. Its efficiency, coupled with its compatibility with both narrow- and wide-body aircraft, makes it the preferred choice for commercial aviation.
