Aircraft Evacuation Equipment Market (By Aircraft Type: Commercial Aircraft, Private Aircraft, Military Aircraft and Helicopters; By Equipment: Life Vests, Evacuation Slides, Ejection Seats, Evacuation Rafts and Emergency Floatation; By Fit: Line Fit and Retrofit) - Growth, Future Prospects, and Competitive Landscape, 2017-2025

Aircraft evacuation equipment are used to evacuate the passengers and crew from the aircraft in case of emergency or mishaps. These are the lifesaving devices installed or made available with the aircrafts which allow passengers to safely disembark the aircraft during a hazardous or life threatening situation. In the year 2016, only 19 plane crashes occurred which was the second lowest in the aviation history. In addition, the survival rate of passengers in fatal air crashes and aircraft evacuation situations has increased from 24% in the 2000s to 76% in the current year. 

Aircraft evacuation equipment has played a key role in raising the survival percentage of passengers. Aircraft evacuation equipment companies have been engaged in developing new methods and improving previously existing method of aircraft evacuation equipment. Owing to the importance of aircraft evacuation equipment and consistently growing aviation industry, the demand for aircraft evacuation equipment is expected to grow even further in the following years.

Government organizations, aviation departments and major airline operators across the globe have made alliances to develop the framework for implementation of aircraft evacuation equipment in the aircrafts for variety of end-use verticals. Mandates and guidelines have compelled airline companies to install aircraft evacuation equipment. Furthermore, the use of aircraft evacuation equipment in aircrafts for defense applications, private aircrafts and helicopters are also on the rise. Crucial aircraft evacuation equipment systems such as ejection seats, life vests and emergency floatation devices have been proven essential for life saving in aircraft mishaps. Perpetually developing technology, rising importance of the aircraft evacuation equipment reliability and significantly growing aviation industry have contributed toward the consistent growth in the aircraft evacuation equipment market.

The global aircraft evacuation equipment market is segmented, based on fit, into following categories:

• Line fit
• Retro Fit 

Line fit aircrafts are the aircraft which install the aircraft evacuation equipment during their manufacturing. The companies install the evacuation equipment in the aircraft as an integral part of the system. Almost all the new aircraft irrespective of their application are fitted with aircraft evacuation equipment during their manufacturing. The line fit installing is expected to dominate the segment significantly throughout the forecast period.

Retrofit are devices installed after the manufacturing and sale of the aircrafts. The demand for retrofit is declining consistently as new aircrafts are already available with preinstalled aircraft evacuation equipment. However, due to the mandates, some of the old aircrafts are compelled to install the aircraft evacuation equipment. Thus, the market for the retrofit aircraft evacuation system is declining slowing.

The global aircraft evacuation equipment market has been segmented, on the basis of geographical regions, as per following regions and countries:

• North America
  • U.S.
  • Rest of North America
• Europe
  • U.K.
  • Germany
  • France
  • Rest of Europe
• Asia Pacific
  • Japan
  • China
  • India
  • Rest of Asia Pacific
• Rest of the World (RoW)
  • The Middle East and Africa
  • Latin America

As of 2016, North America dominated the overall aircraft evacuation equipment market in terms of revenue. The aviation industry in this region, especially in the U.S. has been growing consistently over the past decade. Rising commercial trade and passenger transportation have significantly accelerated the growth of aviation industry in the North America. Presence of major airline companies and aircraft evacuation equipment manufacturers have further bolstered the aircraft evacuation equipment market in the region.

Europe trailed North America in the aircraft evacuation equipment market in terms of revenue. Similar to the North American market, European countries have also experienced growth in the field of passenger as well as cargo transport. With growing trade and tourism in the European countries, the demand for aircraft evacuation equipment is also expected to soar continuously. Asia Pacific region is expected to demonstrate the fastest growth in the overall aircraft evacuation equipment market. Emerging economies of Asia Pacific are promoting the air transportation at a significant rate. Therefore, the market is expected to offer immense growth opportunities for the aircraft evacuation equipment market.
