The aircraft turbine fuel system is one of the crucial systems in aircraft. The aircraft turbine fuel system manages the flow of fuel for optimum performance of the aircraft during various stages of flight, such as rapid maneuvering, changes in altitude, and sudden acceleration or deceleration. Initially, the aircraft turbine fuel system was operated manually by the flight operators; however, with the advancement in technology, self-calibrating aircraft turbine fuel systems, such as Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), were introduced in the market. The aircraft turbine fuel system market is experiencing significant growth owing to the increasing year-on-year government budgets for national security. Governments across the world are significantly investing in the procurement of advanced state-of-the-art commercial as well as military aircraft fleet. Additionally, growing commercial aviation industry owing to rise in disposable income among middle class population coupled with the growing MRO operation across the world is bolstering the aircraft production rate, which is propelling the demand for aircraft turbine fuel system market globally.
Amid COVID-19 outbreak pandemic, the entire commercial aviation industry came to a halt with minimal resources to foresee the future. Several production units in the US, France, Russia, and China were temporarily paused to adhere to the government rules regarding the lockdown and physical distancing. The aircraft manufacturers witnessed 30%–50% reduction in demand for most of the aircraft models, especially, commercial aircraft models. The lower aircraft production and assembly declined the demand for aircraft turbine fuel system, resulting in lower revenue generation. This factor restrained the growth of the aircraft turbine fuel system market.
Owing to substantial production of military and commercial aircraft fleet, the global aviation industry is growing at a steady rate. Over the last decade, the commercial aviation industry has witnessed tremendous growth owing to growing disposable income among masses coupled with emergence of low-cost carriers (LCCs) and various fleet expansion initiatives undertaken by the full-service carriers (FSCs). The commercial aviation industry is predicted to upsurge in the near future owing to rising number of air travel passengers and aircraft procurement. Thus, the growing procurement of aircraft across the world is anticipated to propel the aircraft turbine fuel system market during the forecast period.
Based on the type, the aircraft turbine fuel system market is segmented into hydromechanical, full authority digital engine control (FADEC), and hydromechanical/electronics. The Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) uses a digital computer, known as an EEC (Electronic Engine Control) or ECU (engine control unit), and related accessories to control the parameters of aircraft engine performance. The FADEC functions by receiving multiple input variables, such as engine temperatures, engine pressures, throttle lever position, and air density of real-time flight conditions. The input is gathered by ECU or EEC and is processed up to 70 times per second. Better fuel efficiency, efficient engine operation, automatic engine protection with regards to out-of-tolerance operations, better system integration with engine and aircraft systems, and engine monitoring and diagnostics are the major factors driving the growth of aircraft turbine fuel system market.
The players operating in the aircraft turbine fuel system market focus on strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and market initiatives to maintain their positions in the market. A few developments by key players are listed below:

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the aviation industry has flourished in China. At present, China holds the second-largest aviation market after the US. Boeing, American aircraft giant, in November 2020 announced that Chinese carriers are projected to acquire 8,600 new airplanes over the next 20 years. Also, the country’s commercial jet fleet has expanded sevenfold since 2000, which is ~25% of all aviation growth worldwide over the past decade. According to Carnoc, about 25% of the global single-aisle aircraft were procured by Chinese carriers. The incremental growth of the aviation industry in China is attributed to rapid growth in middle-class consumers coupled with robust economic growth and growing urbanization. Further, the Aircraft giants such as Boeing and Airbus have manufacturing assemblies in China, which complements the growth of the aircraft turbine fuel system market. Also, in setback of Boeing 737, two consecutive crash and the announcement of discontinuation of Airbus A320 is projected to complement the adoption of COMAC C919 and C929 aircraft as these are considered the immediate substitute to Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. Meanwhile, the country has the second-largest defense budget across the world after the US, and a significant portion of the defense is allotted to the procurement of advanced military aircraft and upgradation & MRO operations. Thus, all these are bolstering the aviation industry in China, which is projected to create ample growth opportunities for aircraft turbine fuel system market players.
