Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, Segmented By Gear Position, By Component, By Aircraft Type, By Arrangement, By Region & Competition, 2021-2031F

Description

The Global Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear Market is projected to increase from USD 2.89 Billion in 2025 to USD 4.27 Billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.72%. This sector involves the engineering, manufacturing, and upkeep of vital undercarriage systems-such as wheels, struts, retraction mechanisms, and brakes-that support aircraft during takeoff, landing, and ground operations. The primary force driving this growth is the rapid expansion of airline fleets in response to the strong recovery in global air travel demand. As carriers upgrade their equipment to enhance capacity and fuel efficiency, the need for both original equipment landing gear and aftermarket maintenance services rises. According to the International Air Transport Association, revenue passenger kilometers grew by 10.4% in 2024 compared to the previous year, establishing a consistent trajectory for equipment procurement.

However, persistent instability within the aerospace supply chain remains a significant hurdle to market progress. Manufacturers face ongoing constraints regarding the availability of high-grade raw materials, including specialized steels and titanium, compounded by a shortage of skilled labor. These logistical bottlenecks lead to extended lead times for component production and maintenance overhaul schedules, thereby limiting the industry's capacity to fully meet the immediate operational requirements of commercial airlines.

Market Driver

The substantial rise in new commercial aircraft deliveries and solid order backlogs acts as a key catalyst for the landing gear manufacturing industry. As major airframers increase production rates to meet contractual commitments, the demand for full original equipment shipsets-including nose and main landing gear struts, braking systems, and retraction actuators-expands rapidly. This momentum secures steady revenue for tier-one suppliers responsible for forging and assembling these critical components that must endure high operational loads. According to Airbus's 'Full-Year 2023 Results' from February 2024, the manufacturer delivered 735 commercial aircraft in 2023, an 11 percent increase over the prior year. This growth in output requires a parallel boost in supply chain throughput for titanium and high-strength steel parts to avoid assembly line delays.

At the same time, the rising demand for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services creates a recurring revenue stream separate from new production. Landing gear systems operate under strict regulations mandating comprehensive overhauls at specific intervals, driving volume for services such as chrome plating, seal replacements, and non-destructive testing. According to Lufthansa Technik's 'Annual Report 2023' released in March 2024, the company achieved record revenue of 6.5 billion euros, largely due to the resurgence in component maintenance needs across global fleets. This aftermarket strength is bolstered by long-term industry confidence; Boeing projected in 2024 that the commercial aviation sector will need nearly 44,000 new airplanes by 2043, ensuring a continuous pipeline for both initial installation and lifecycle support.

Market Challenge

Ongoing volatility within the aerospace supply chain serves as a major obstacle restricting the growth of the Global Commercial Aircraft Landing Gear Market. Manufacturers continue to encounter acute shortages of premium raw materials, such as titanium and specialized steels, which are essential for forging durable strut and braking components. This material scarcity is worsened by a critical lack of skilled labor needed for precision manufacturing and maintenance tasks. These operational constraints cause unavoidable production delays, forcing suppliers to extend lead times and hindering their ability to align with the aggressive delivery schedules required by aircraft original equipment manufacturers.

These disruptions directly hamper the financial expansion of the landing gear sector by delaying revenue recognition and slowing the completion of order backlogs. Since undercarriage systems are critical path components, their unavailability prevents the finalization of aircraft assembly, capping the volume of units entering service. According to the International Air Transport Association, commercial aircraft deliveries in 2024 were approximately 30% lower than initially forecast, largely due to these supply chain bottlenecks. Consequently, the industry struggles to fully capitalize on the surging global demand for air travel equipment, creating a gap between orders received and the actual market value realized.

Market Trends

The widespread adoption of advanced lightweight composite materials is fundamentally altering component engineering as manufacturers aim to decrease unsprung weight. Suppliers are increasingly replacing traditional heavy alloys with carbon fiber reinforced polymers for critical structural parts to improve fuel efficiency. This material substitution meets the industry's need for lighter architectures without sacrificing structural integrity. According to an Aviation Week article from November 2025 titled 'Landing Gear OEMs Lean Into More Sustainable Systems,' Safran Landing Systems is developing its second generation of 3D woven carbon fiber composites, which offer up to 30% weight savings compared to titanium parts. Such innovations enable OEMs to deliver systems that contribute significantly to the mass reduction targets of next-generation aircraft.

Simultaneously, the expansion of landing gear asset exchange and leasing models is transforming the aftermarket landscape by driving consolidation between maintenance providers and asset managers. Airlines are prioritizing exchange programs over traditional overhauls to minimize aircraft downtime and avoid heavy capital expenditure on spare shipsets. This trend is leading to strategic acquisitions where leasing firms integrate repair capabilities to provide comprehensive lifecycle solutions. A prominent example occurred when AAR Corp sold its landing gear overhaul business to GA Telesis to optimize its portfolio. According to an Aviation News Online report from April 2025 titled 'AAR completes $51 million sale of landing gear overhaul business to GA Telesis,' AAR Corp finalized this transaction for $51 million, enabling the acquirer to strengthen its integrated support services.
