The upgrading of existing fighter jets is among the major factors fueling the adoption of the MIL-DTL-81714 Series II connectors. In 2018, Royal Thai Air Force announced its plans of upgrading of the Saab Early Warning System; replacement of F-16 fighter jets and L-39s trainers; and procurement of various transport aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aircraft. Similarly, the Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) approved defense deals worth INR 389 billion in July 2020, including the purchase of 21 MiG-29 Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets, upgrading of 59 existing MiG-29 jets from the IAF inventory, and purchase of 12 Su-30MKI aircraft from Russia. Further, the increasing procurement of advanced fighter and transport aircraft is also propelling the MIL-DTL-81714 Series II connectors market growth. For example, the Government of India is finalizing the 83 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mark 1 A contract and is also in the process of acquiring 200 aircraft fleet to cope with depleting aerial inventories of the Indian Air Force (IAF). In addition, Boeing, the US defense major, is considering offering its F-15EX Eagle fighter jets to the IAF and has also applied for a license from the US authorities to export them to India. The move is seen as Boeing's attempt to seize an IAF contract worth US$ 18 billion to procure 114 fighter jets. Similarly, Argentine Air Force has announced the procurement plan including aircraft such as IA 63, Mi-171, KC-390, and T-6C+. Thus, owing to growing adoption of military aircraft the MIL-DTL-81714 Series II connectors market is projected to witness significant growth.
The COVID–19 outbreak has significantly impacted the global economy. Governments are imposing several limitations on industrial, commercial, and public activities to control the spread of infection. Therefore, the production volume of aircraft is decreasing drastically amid pandemic, which is declining the adoption rate of MIL-DTL-81714 Series II connectors. Thus, the aircraft manufacturers and aircraft MRO service providers are witnessing significant loss during the pandemic.
Rapid changes in modern warfare have been urging governments to allocate higher funds toward respective armed forces. The higher military budget allocation enables the military forces to engage themselves in the development and procurement of advanced warfare fleet, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs are widely used for intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, battle damage management, delivery, transportation, combat operations, etc. At present, fleet modernization has become one of the common practices for the aerospace & defense industries in different countries. Thus, owing to growing adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles, the MIL-DTL-81714 Series II connectors market is projected to witness significant growth.
Based on the application, the MIL-DTL-81714 Series II Connectors market is segmented into aircraft lighting, unmanned aerial vehicle, unmanned ground vehicle, and combat systems & weaponry. The aircraft lighting segment held the largest market share in 2020. The MIL-DTL-81714 Series II Connectors are used in powering up aircraft lamps, cabin lights, high-intensity lights, and beacons.
