Aircraft Lavatory Systems Market Analysis

Aircraft Lavatory Systems Market Analysis

Commercial aircraft segment in the aircraft lavatory systems market will reach around USD 320 million by 2027. Apart from large existing fleet of commercial aircrafts, increasing backlog orders from mainstream manufacturing companies like Boeing and Airbus has also showcased that there is strong demand from commercial airlines operating at passenger capacity.

In commercial segment, narrow body aircrafts dominated the segment. Narrow body aircrafts are increasingly becoming more capable through improved operating efficiency and fuel mileage. Booming domestic travel is also another contributory factor resulting the lavatory systems demand din narrow body. However, wide body aircrafts are also incrementally increasing their popularity amongst international airline operators. Lavatory systems have high potential in wide body aircrafts as there are roughly more lavatory systems incorporated owing to two aisle configurations.

Recirculating type will hold 20% of the aircraft lavatory systems market share by 2027 on account of the simple operating mechanism and its installation in older aircrafts. Some of the advantages of recirculating aircrafts include its quitter operation and simplistic operation of function. It is also easier to install in airplanes and is typically less pricy compared to vacuum based systems which are typically more complex in operational nature and function. Water based flus operation also results in cleaner flush operation, dubbing it more hygienic system.

OEM aircraft lavatory systems market accounted for USD 185 million in 2020. As many OEM companies are engaged in acquisition and expansion of operations, some companies are establishing their own manufacturing operations for several of its components and parts. One example being Boeing with their own lavatory systems and lavatory solutions. As companies are realizing the benefit of upstream and downstream supply chain control, the organizations are increasingly interested in establishing their own supply chain network for parts and components. Additionally, COVID-19 pandemic has further fueled this trend and accelerated the process of incorporating the value chain into the company

The manufactures also gains control of the R&D process of the component, which in the end also enable them to design bespoke and tailored solutions for their products and their customers while militating the costs for supply to other manufacturers.

Asia Pacific aircraft lavatory systems market led by China will expand at over 7.5% CAGR through 2027. Growth in middle-class passenger traffic starting with the domestic market and then to long haul flights will increase the aircraft demand and subsequentially support the industry expansion. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), China can surpass the U.S. as the world’s largest travel market by the next decade. The country is expected to be the key driver for the product demand in the APAC region.

Europe aircraft lavatory systems market is amongst the largest consumers and producers of aircraft lavatory systems. Europe is home to one of the largest companies in lavatory systems market with presence of many OEM and MRO players. The region is home to one of the largest commercial aircraft manufacturer Airbus, which holds the significant market share in global aircraft market. Supportive initiatives from the government coupled with increasing mergers and acquisition activities in regional aerospace industry to fuel demand for aircraft lavatory systems.
