Brakes Segment to Dominate North America Aircraft Wheels and Brakes Market during 2020–2028

According to a new market research study on “North America Aircraft Wheels and Brakes Market to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis and Forecast by Component, Fit Type, and End User,” is expected to reach US$ 3,972.81 million by 2028 from US$ 2,645.80 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2021 to 2028. The report provides trends prevailing in the North America aircraft wheels and brakes market along with the drivers and restraints pertaining to the market growth. Increasing use of durable, lightweight, sturdy carbon brakes is the major factor driving the growth of the North America aircraft wheels and brakes market. However, recall of B737 max and discontinuation of A380 and B747 manufacturing may hinder the growth of North America aircraft wheels and brakes market.

In North America, the US witnessed the most severe impact of COVID-19 in 2020. The aircraft wheels and brake manufacturers and service providers in the region are affected due to imposition of nationwide lockdowns and travel restrictions, shutdown of production facilities, and shortage of employees. The massive outbreak created both a health crisis and an economic crisis in the North American countries, especially in the US, which also led to major disruptions in the aerospace industry, impacting supply chains, manufacturing, product sales, and so on. The COVID-19 pandemic has directly and indirectly impacted the industry’s short-term and long-term strategies. The pandemic has caused huge havoc in the airlines industry in North America due to huge net losses and delayed recovery. The aircraft industry in North America was one of the strongest performers in the pre-crisis period, however, IATA reports an estimated loss of ~US$ 45.8 billion in 2020 in the region. Nevertheless, in 2021, following the recovery, the net profit margin of the North American aerospace industry is anticipated to improve to –6.8% from –41.4% in 2020. The presence of large domestic markets is anticipated to drive the improvement. Recovery in demands for passenger, cargo, and military aircraft fleet is anticipated to boost manufacturing and sales of the aircraft wheels and brakes in the coming financial quarters.
