Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Aircraft Brakes Market size was valued at USD 9.96 billion in 2024 and is set to exceed USD 19.25 billion by 2037, registering over 5.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of aircraft brakes is evaluated at USD 10.4 billion.
 

The increasing fleet size of commercial and defense aircraft is a major driver supporting the growth of the market. The aircraft industry is attending an enormous increase in the number of aircraft on account of increased passenger movement across the globe which is boosting the market and is anticipated to support the development of the market over the forecast period. The demand for technological improvements in the prevailing aircraft brakes system has boosted the growth of the electrical braking system market. Moreover, factors such as the development of lightweight brake materials, demand for lightweight aircraft, and increased military spending are expected to fuel the global market during the forecast period. On the contrary, brakes are required to work in extreme environments, which leads to degradation of the quality of brake material through corrosion and creates opportunities for the aftermarket industry.

Aircraft Brakes Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • A Rise in the Traffic of Air Passengers: An increment of air passengers in recent years had led to an increase in the demand for aircraft, and to attain this demand, the aircraft industry is developing aircraft with advanced systems and components which is boosting the growth of the market.
  • Procurement of Advanced Aircraft to Support Development of Aircraft Brakes: On account of procurement of newer generation aircraft, in the commercial and military sectors coupled with the concept of more electric aircraft, increasing emphasis on the reduction of the weight of aircraft, and development of new lightweight, the market is anticipated to witness growth over the forecast period.

Challenges

  • Maintenance and Operational Cost of Aircraft Brake System: A major barrier in the market is the operating and maintenance cost faced by different airlines. However, the introduction of new technologies, such as the electric braking system, to overcome maintenance cost is hampering the market for traditional and carbon braking systems, which are relatively less effective. Additionally, long-term contracts with the existing top players is acting as a barrier for the growth of the market.
