Aircraft Landing Gear Global Market Report 2026

Aircraft landing gear constitutes the undercarriage that supports an aircraft during takeoff, landing, and taxiing, preventing damage. It typically comprises structural elements, hydraulics, components for energy absorption, brakes, wheels, and tires, ensuring direct control and integrating supportive systems for the aircraft.

The primary types of aircraft landing gear encompass the main landing gear and nose landing gear. The main landing gear is responsible for absorbing landing impact energy to minimize stress on the airframe. Comprising two or more large wheels near the aircraft's center of gravity, it necessitates a third-wheel assembly to support the tail due to its forward positioning relative to the center of gravity. Aircraft types include fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms for end users, including both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and aftermarket sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on aerospace materials, hydraulic systems, and precision components have increased costs for landing gear production, affecting segments like main and nose landing gears, especially in regions with significant manufacturing hubs such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The resulting impact includes delayed production and higher procurement costs for both OEMs and aftermarket services. However, tariffs also encourage localization of production, investment in domestic manufacturing capabilities, and the adoption of more efficient materials and designs, providing potential long-term benefits for the market.

The aircraft landing gear market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.81 billion in 2025 to $17.24 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in commercial aircraft deliveries increasing demand for landing gear systems, rising modernization of military fleets requiring upgraded undercarriage components, advancements in hydraulic and energy absorption technologies enhancing landing performance, expansion of mro activities driving replacement of worn landing gear components, increased use of lightweight alloys to reduce landing gear weight.

The aircraft landing gear market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising production of next-generation aircraft adopting advanced landing gear architectures, increased integration of smart sensors and health-monitoring systems in landing gear, growing demand for corrosion-resistant and high-durability materials, expansion of regional and business aviation fleets requiring diverse landing gear configurations, advancements in electric and hybrid actuation systems supporting aircraft electrification trends. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of smart sensors for predictive maintenance, use of lightweight composite materials in landing gear structures, hydraulic and electric actuation systems replacing conventional mechanisms, advanced braking and energy absorption technologies, modular and easily maintainable landing gear designs.

The rise in the procurement of modern-generation aircraft is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft landing gear market. Due to increasing demand for commercial and cargo aircraft worldwide, along with greater investments in defense equipment across various countries, the need for landing gear is expanding, which in turn supports the growth of the aircraft landing gear market. For example, in December 2023, the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based trade association of global airlines, reported that the number of new aircraft deliveries is projected to rise substantially, with 1,777 expected in 2024 and an increase to 2,075 in 2025. Thus, the growing procurement of modern-generation aircraft is contributing to the expansion of the aircraft landing gear market.

Major companies in the aircraft landing gear market are focusing on 3D printing technology, such as 3D-printed aircraft landing gear, to enhance production efficiency, reduce weight, and enable the manufacturing of complex geometries for improved performance. A 3D-printed aircraft landing gear refers to a landing gear assembly created using additive manufacturing techniques, allowing for intricate designs and lightweight structures that traditional methods may not easily achieve. For instance, in March 2024, Wuhan Tianyu Intelligent Manufacturing Co., a China-based advanced manufacturing company, introduced the world's first 3D-printed aircraft landing gear-a major technological breakthrough measuring 150 centimeters in length and weighing 240 kilograms. Developed in collaboration with Professor Zhang Haiou and his team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, this innovative component uses advanced techniques to reduce defects such as cracking and is now ready for on-aircraft testing after extensive research and development.

In March 2024, 4D Capital Partners, a US-based venture capital firm, acquired Britten-Norman Aerospace for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is intended to provide new investment to strengthen Britten-Norman's UK manufacturing operations and increase production of the Islander aircraft. It also aims to secure the company's future by converting letters of intent into firm commitments and gathering deposits for new aircraft, while reassessing medium-term product development initiatives such as hydrogen-powered variants. Britten-Norman Aerospace is a UK-based manufacturer and provider of aircraft and related services.
