The aircraft manufacturing industry is experiencing substantial growth owing to the growing demand for general aviation, commercial, and military aircraft worldwide. The rising disposable income in developing countries, along with the presence of top players such as Airbus and Boeing is the major factor driving the demand for these aircraft. In a global scenario, commercial airplanes are anticipated to maintain continuous growth over the coming years, irrespective of the numerous challenges the commercial airlines face, which includes uncertain fuel prices and other regulatory changes in various countries. Additionally, the growing investments in defense aircraft across countries are expected to drive the demand for military aircraft during the forecast period. The mounting production of aircraft for the integration of safety equipment requires evacuation slides and life rafts to evacuate the passengers from aircraft in case of emergency. Aviation life rafts are designed to meet the aerospace and defense standards. All these factors are anticipated to fuel the demand for aviation life rafts in various geographies and offer future growth opportunities for aviation life rafts market players operating globally.

The aviation life rafts market players are experiencing substantial demand for their products from different end users such as defense and general aviation aircraft manufacturers, military forces, and general aviation aircraft operators. Considering the fact that the general aviation aircraft operators or military forces must replace the life rafts every three years, the demand for life rafts is propelling in these sectors. The players operating in the aviation life rafts market offer their products with a service life of more than ten years; however, the life rafts' service life is restricted to three years. The shorter service life allows the end user to mount newer life rafts every three years, thereby benefiting the end user by ensuring smooth inflation and further operations of the raft during any water landing mishaps.

The global aviation life rafts market is segmented on the basis of capacity, type, and application. Based on capacity, the market is segmented as large-sized life rafts, medium-sized life rafts, and small-sized life rafts. Based on type, the market is segmented as single tube life raft and multi-tube life raft. Based on application, the market is segmented as general aviation, military/defense aviation, and commercial aviation.
