Increasing demand for aircraft, modernisation of the existing aircraft, and the replacement of old aircraft with new aircraft which are more fuel efficient and lighter in weight are the few major factors driving the aircraft fire protection systems market.

Based on application, the engine segment of the aircraft fire protection systems market is estimated to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the large number of smoke detectors and automated fire suppression systems. Cargo compartments are installed with extra layers of enhanced fire protection systems as aircraft crew is unable to enter cargo compartments during flight.

In terms of product, the fire suppression systems segment of the aircraft fire protection systems market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for new aircraft from airlines coupled with mandates laid by various regulatory bodies over replacement of the fire suppression agents with halon free agents for both, existing and new fleets.

The linefit segment of the aircraft fire protection systems market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR than the retrofit segment during the forecast period. The higher growth rate of the linefit segment is attributed to the increase in aircraft orders as well as deliveries, economic growth across regions, and an increase in air passenger traffic.

When looking at the different types of aircraft, then the civil aircraft segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The civil aircraft segment has been witnessing significant growth in the past few years due to increasing air traffic and rise in the disposable incomes of middle-class populations across the globe. Increased demand for new aircraft around the world is also fueling the growth of the civil aircraft segment.

Among regions, the aircraft fire protection systems market in the Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The aviation industry is growing at a significant pace, due to increasing air passenger traffic and improving economic conditions in the region. The growth in air passenger traffic has resulted in increased demand for new lightweight and fuel-efficient aircraft from the region. In addition, new emerging aircraft manufacturers in China, Japan, and India are expected to fuel the demand for aircraft fire protection systems during the forecast period.

Major companies profiled in the aircraft fire protection systems market report are United Technologies, Meggitt, Diehl Aerospace, Siemens, Halma, Advanced Aircraft Extinguishers, Gielle Industries, H3R Aviation, Amerex Corporation, and Aerocon Engineering, among others.
