The global aircraft lighting market is expected to account for US$ 3.03 Bn in 2025. With a continuous increase in the demand for aircraft, manufacturers and companies present in this market are looking forward to increase the production of new generation and fuel-efficient aircrafts. This increase would help to ultimately growth the automotive tire market in forthcoming period.
In the current scenario, aviation industry plays an important role to boost the global business as it offers a rapid global transportation network. It helps the passengers to reach at the destination with minimal time. Facility of aircraft helps to develop the economic growth of the country and facilitates international trade & tourism, and reduces unemployment.
Lights used in the aircrafts are the significant part which comprise of reading lights, general illuminating lights, cargo lights, seat proximity lights, cabin lights, and others. Moreover, in the aviation industry, use of aircraft navigation lights are used to support the navigation process. These lights play an essential role and is also responsible to provide better comfort to its passengers. It also increases the safety of both passengers and crew members. In addition, these lights perform under various situations including low visibility environmental conditions, extreme temperature, and severe weather conditions such as snow, rain, and fog. Thus, selection and installation of superior quality and high performance aircraft light is necessary to combat extreme situation. In respect to this, an upsurge in the requirement of energy efficient aircrafts lights is expected to nurture the growth of aircraft lighting market.
Furthermore, varied initiatives are undertaken by the players to propel the adoption of aircraft lighting through introduction of new aircraft lights which exhibits distinct features. For instance, in 2017, at the Aircraft Interiors Exposition, Astronics Corporation showcased seat Motion, passenger lighting, and controls for current and Next-Gen Aircraft. In order to increase the comfort level of passengers, New Mila and Philea Personal Lighting Systems are integrated into the seat and cabin. In the similar year, Honeywell International Inc. launched a new LED searchlight technology for the commercial helicopters. This LED searchlight provides comprehensive range of benefits for both the helicopter operators and flight crews. It ensures to offer a superior service to assist the crew’s need for the target identification, navigation, situational awareness and safety.
The key players operating in aircraft lighting market include Cobham PLC, Honeywell International Inc., STG Aerospace Ltd., United Technologies Corporation, Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG, Rockwell Collins, Bruce Aerospace, Astronics Corporation, Zodiac Aerospace, and Oxley group among others.
