New York, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Flight Management System Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Hardware, By Aircraft Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06322015/?utm_source=GNW
Flight management systems, which take the place of traditional technologies and flight deck displays, are present in the majority of contemporary commercial and business aircraft.
An FMS is made up of four basic parts viz. a Flight Management Computer (FMC), an Electronic flight instrument system (EFIS), an Automatic Flight Control, and an Aircraft Navigation System. One of the most important avionics systems of a contemporary airplane is the flight management system. A sophisticated computer system called an FMS automates a wide range of in-flight activities, lightening the strain on the flight crew in order to the point where flight engineers and navigators are no longer carried on modern commercial aircraft.
The administration of the flight plan while in flight is a key duty. The FMS can direct the aircraft all along the flight plan by using a variety of sensors, such as GPS and INS, which are frequently supported by radio navigation to detect the position of the aircraft. The FMS is often operated from the cockpit via a Control Display Unit (CDU), which includes a tiny screen, keyboard, and touchscreen.
Covid-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic led various economies all over the world and affected a number of businesses of all sizes. Governments all over the world were compelled to enforce lockdowns within their countries to regulate the spread of the infection. In addition, various manufacturing units of several goods were temporarily closed due to lockdowns. The manufacturing of hardware parts of flight management systems was also hampered. The flight management systems market has also experienced unexpected changes as a result of COVID-19's abrupt outbreak. Most significantly, the travel restrictions across the world majorly hauled aviation operations, which delivered very severe harm to the flight management system market.
Market Growth Factors
Higher operational efficiency along with increased flexibility
A retrofit of the Flight Management System (FMS) improves operational flexibility and reliability, boosts dispatch and on-time arrival availability, simplifies maintenance, and enhances safety by reducing crew workload and improving situational awareness. The FMS has full performance mission planning and navigation capabilities, storage for up to 100 Flight Plans, storage for up to 128 Waypoints, the option to maintain a Global Navigation Database on a 32 GB Solid State Drive, a standard ARINC 424 Database, and interaction with current IRU/AHRS hardware.
Rapidly expanding aviation industry all over the world
The aviation industry is rapidly growing, and the air transport sector is growing. Additionally, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization, around 4.1 billion passengers flew on airplanes around the world in 2017. 37 million commercial flights carried 56 million tons in freight. Over 10 million people and about 18 billion dollars worth of cargo are transported daily by airplanes. This demonstrates the huge economic influence that aviation has had on the world economy, which is further supported by the fact that aviation accounts for 3.5% of the global GDP (2.7 trillion US dollars) and has generated 65 million employments worldwide.
Market Restraining Factors
High cost of air travel as well as flight management system
Aerodrome construction and maintenance are highly expensive. It also necessitates the hiring of professional, skilled, and qualified workers. The most expensive mode of transportation is often thought to be air travel. Aerodrome and aviation construction expenditures as well as the cost of maintaining aircraft are substantially greater. Because of this, air travel has become unaffordable for most people. The lack of space in the aircraft makes them unsuitable for transporting heavy and less expensive commodities.
Hardware Outlook
By Hardware, the Flight Management System Market is segmented into Visual Display Unit (VDU), Control Display Unit (CDU), and Flight Management Computers (FMC). In 2021, the flight management computer segment witnessed the biggest revenue share of the flight management system market. The high growth of the segment is due to the fact that this is a very essential component of any FMS. FMC is a computer that serves as the brains of a flight management system and provides a centralized command over navigation and performance monitoring. It significantly aids the pilot in preventing several accidents and hence, the growth of the segment is boosted
Fit Outlook
Based on Fit, the Flight Management System Market is bifurcated into Line Fit and Retrofit. In 2021, the retrofit segment garnered a significant revenue share of the flight management system market. One of the most in-demand services in the aerospace sector is the retrofit and systems upgrade activity. This is due to the aging of aircraft, changing air transport operations, and parts obsolescence. The airframers' decision to make the improvements or an airworthiness regulation addressing operational changes, such as those required in the NextGen and Sesar programs, is what primarily drives the retrofit campaigns.
Aircraft Type Outlook
On the basis of Aircraft Type, the Flight Management System Market is segregated into Narrow Body Aircraft, Wide Body Aircraft, Very Large Aircraft, and Regional Transport Aircraft. In 2021, the narrow body aircraft segment procured the highest revenue share of the flight management system market. The increasing growth of this segment is primarily attributed to an increase in the demand for narrow-body aircraft owing to their high flexibility during operation. A narrow-body aircraft, commonly referred as a single-aisle aircraft, is a smaller model that is frequently employed to conduct short-haul domestic and international flights.
Regional Outlook
Region-wise, the Flight Management System Market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2021, North America accounted for the largest revenue share of the flight management system market. The rapid rise in the growth of the segment is owing to the wide presence of a number of market players operating in this region. In addition, North America also comprises a very robust aviation industry, which is also contributing to the adoption of flight management systems across the region. These factors are expediting the growth of the regional market.
