aircraft valve Market

The global aircraft valve market was valued at US$ 4192.4 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 6084.9 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2020–2027.

The positive growth outlook of the global aviation industry and the surging number of air passengers across developing regions are the key factors boosting the demand for aircraft valves. In addition, the growing need of frequent replacement of aircraft valves would fuel the future demand for these valves in the future. Despite the positive growth outlook, the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and recent Boeing 737 max incidence, and halt in deliveries restricted the growth of the global aircraft valve market in 2020, and the similar conditions would continue in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been creating challenges for medical institutions, healthcare institutes, manufacturing units, commercial office premises, shopping complexes, and airports worldwide. According to the latest situation report from the World Health Organization (WHO), the US, Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa, Spain, the UK, Germany, and France are among the worst-affected countries due to the outbreak, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. As per the WHO figures on November 9, 2020, ~19.46 million COVID-19 cases have been diagnosed and ~722,285 deaths have been reported across the world. The COVID-19 crisis is affecting the industries worldwide, and the global economy has taken the worst hit in 2020. As the regions such as North America, Europe and APAC comprise a larger density of aircraft manufacturers and component manufacturers, the outbreak has severely affected their production. The lower strength of manufacturing staff and temporary suspension of production facilities have resulted in lesser production quantity. Boeing, the aviation giant in the region, has witnessed a significant fall in orders and production. In addition to Boeing, other aircraft OEMs such as Bombardier, Textron, and Gulfstream have also experienced the adverse impact of the COVID-19  outbreak. The restrictions on workforce employment, disruption in supply chain, and limited volumes of orders have been limiting the global aircraft valve market growth.
