Aircraft Landing Gear Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, Segmented By Aircraft Type, By Sub System, By Type, By End User, By Region & Competition, 2021-2031F

Description

The Global Aircraft Landing Gear Market is projected to expand from USD 11.23 Billion in 2025 to USD 18.03 Billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 8.21%. This market encompasses the structural undercarriage systems responsible for supporting an aircraft during ground maneuvers, takeoff, and landing, as well as absorbing impact energy. A primary factor driving this growth is the resurgence in global air travel demand, which is prompting major original equipment manufacturers to accelerate production rates and significantly expand their fleets. Additionally, stringent regulatory requirements mandating the periodic overhaul and replacement of landing gear on aging commercial and military fleets ensure a consistent demand for aftermarket maintenance, repair, and overhaul services.

However, the market faces a substantial challenge due to the persistent fragility of the global supply chain, particularly regarding the scarcity of specialized forgings and high-strength raw materials. These shortages create production bottlenecks that delay deliveries and hinder manufacturers from fulfilling the rising volume of order backlogs. According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, total global airplane shipments reached 3,162 units in 2024, marking a 3.0 percent increase compared to the previous year. This data underscores the escalating pressure on the supply chain to sustain the production levels necessary to meet the growing demands of the industry.

Market Driver

The expansion of commercial aircraft fleets acts as a primary catalyst for the Global Aircraft Landing Gear Market. As airlines capitalize on the recovery of the air travel sector, major aerospace manufacturers are ramping up production rates to address substantial order backlogs, thereby directly increasing the volume of landing gear systems required for new airframes. Boeing's '2024 Commercial Market Outlook' forecasts that the aviation sector will demand nearly 44,000 new commercial airplanes through 2043 to accommodate projected traffic growth. This long-term demand is bolstered by immediate output gains; Airbus reported delivering 142 commercial aircraft in the first quarter of 2024, signaling robust procurement activity for structural components.

Simultaneously, the modernization of military aviation capabilities significantly contributes to market revenue through high-value maintenance and upgrade programs. Defense agencies are investing in extending the service life of tactical aircraft, which necessitates frequent overhauls of critical systems like landing gear that endure extreme operational stress. For instance, the U.S. Navy awarded a delivery order with a ceiling of $248.1 million to Boeing for the repair of F/A-18 Super Hornet landing gear, as reported by GovCon Wire in August 2024. Such contracts illustrate the financial importance of the defense aftermarket, where stringent safety standards drive a consistent demand for specialized repair services.

Market Challenge

The persistent fragility of the global supply chain stands as a formidable barrier impeding the expansion of the Global Aircraft Landing Gear Market. Manufacturers rely on a consistent flow of high-strength raw materials and specialized forgings, such as titanium and steel alloys, to construct complex undercarriage systems capable of withstanding immense impact loads. Current shortages of these critical inputs create severe production bottlenecks, preventing suppliers from meeting the aggressive delivery schedules required by aircraft original equipment manufacturers. As a result, the actual revenue growth of landing gear producers is effectively capped by their inability to source essential components for final assembly.

This disruption has led to a significant accumulation of unfilled orders across the broader aerospace sector, directly reflecting the inability of component suppliers to keep pace with requirements. According to the International Air Transport Association, in 2024, the global backlog of commercial aircraft orders reached a record level of more than 17,000 units. This statistic highlights the magnitude of the constraint, as each backlog unit represents a delayed landing gear system. Such extensive delays restrict market turnover and prevent the industry from fully leveraging the current resurgence in global travel demand.

Market Trends

The transition to electric and electro-mechanical actuation represents a dominant technological trend, driven by the industry's pursuit of More Electric Aircraft (MEA) architectures to enhance efficiency and reduce weight. Manufacturers are aggressively reorienting their portfolios to replace traditional hydraulic systems with advanced electromechanical actuators, which offer superior reliability and lower maintenance requirements for critical undercarriage operations. This strategic pivot is exemplified by recent divestments and acquisitions aimed at capturing the growing market for electrified components; for instance, the North American electromechanical actuation business divested by Safran to Woodward generated approximately $65 million in sales during 2024, highlighting the commercial value and specialized nature of this evolving technology.

Simultaneously, the market is undergoing significant consolidation through strategic industry mergers, enabling companies to achieve economies of scale and integrate complex supply chains. Major aerospace entities are executing high-value transactions to secure critical capabilities in flight control and landing gear systems, thereby fortifying their competitive positions against production headwinds. This wave of amalgamation allows firms to pool resources for capital-intensive research and development programs required for next-generation platforms. Notably, Safran completed the purchase of Collins Aerospace's actuation business for an enterprise value of $1.8 billion, a massive investment that underscores the industry's drive toward creating consolidated powerhouses capable of delivering integrated system solutions.
