Seals are used in multiple areas of an aircraft in order to serve a wide array of functions including aerodynamics, fire resistance, conduction, insulation, and air and fluid handling. Aerodynamic seals are the most widely used seals in an aircraft and account for almost half of the total aircraft seals market. These seals are statics seals that are used to control airflow between fixed portions of the airframe such as the fuselage and wings. The selection of material is dependent on several parameters including temperature resistance, pressure resistance, lightweight, flexibility, durability, strength, etc. Elastomer, thermoplastic, and metal are the three major materials used by aerodynamic seals manufacturers. Elastomer is gaining traction in the market driven by their enormous advantages over others.
Seals have witnessed a remarkable transition in the aircraft industry over the eons concerning materials, designs, processes, certifications, and many other factors. Today, manufacturing seals for the aircraft industry for many functions including aerodynamics is a convoluted job, a key factor limiting the number of companies active in the aircraft seals market.
Post recording a hefty decline in 2020 owing to the highly perturbed condition of the aerospace industry, the aircraft aerodynamic seals market headed to the road of recovery, marking a healthy growth in 2021-2022, ultimately reaching the value of US$ 389.0 million in 2022. The market is estimated to touch its pre-COVID levels by 2024 with a promising growth of >8.0% during 2023-2028.
Recent Product Developments: Lightweight, low friction, a high operating temperature range, and durability and thermal stability are the indispensable focus areas of the leading players while product developments.
Major players are offering lightweight seals with continuous upgrades in raw materials for the production of fuel-efficient, lightweight aircraft.
In April 2017, Parker Hannifin developed a fully cured, urethane-filled gasket that offers a high-operating temperature range and efficient sealing characteristics by eliminating leakage.
In 2019, Freudenberg launched a new Omegat OMS-CS cap seal, for use in dynamic reciprocating applications where low friction is required.
Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions: Leading players are acquiring other players in the market in order to gain a competitive advantage in terms of product offering and geographical coverage.
Based on the aircraft type, the aircraft aerodynamic seals market is segmented into commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, helicopter, military aircraft, and general aviation. Commercial aircraft is expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Increasing demand for lightweight yet durable components and parts, market entry of new players, such as COMAC, rebounding aircraft deliveries, and rising aircraft fleet size are some of the key factors that propel the demand for aerodynamic seals in the commercial aircraft segment.
Based on the application type, the market is segmented into airframe, landing gear wheels & brakes, and others. Airframe is expected to remain the most dominant and fastest-growing application type during the forecast period. The large surface area of the airframe coupled with a greater need for better aerodynamics in order to improve fuel efficiency is the major factor behind its dominance in the market. Lightweight, low friction, durability, and resistance to hydraulic fluids are key requirements for airframe aerodynamic seals.
Based on the material type, the market is segmented into elastomer seals, thermoplastic seals, and metal seals. Elastomer seals are expected to remain the dominant as well as the fastest-growing material type in the market over the next five years. Key elastomer types are NBR, FKM, EPDM, HNBR, FVMQ, FFKM, and Silicone Rubber (Q); among which, silicone rubber is the most widely used elastomeric material for aerodynamic seals. Elastomers are gaining traction in the aircraft industry due to their lightweight, temperature resistance, and better flexibility.
Based on the motion type, the market is segmented into static seals and dynamic seals. The static seals segment is expected to remain dominant, whereas dynamic seals to be the faster-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Larger applications of static seals and their frequent replacement due to shorter life compared to dynamic seals are the major factors upscaling static seals market in the coming years.
In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft aerodynamic seals during the forecast period. The USA is the growth engine of the region's market with the presence of major aircraft OEMs, tier players, raw material suppliers, and part fabricators. Most of the aerodynamic seals suppliers have their presence in the region to address the emergent needs of OEMs.
Asia-Pacific is likely to grow at the fastest rate during the same period. The highest growth of Asia-Pacific is mainly attributable to the increasing aircraft fleet to support rising passenger traffic; the opening of assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus for multiple aircraft programs; increasing procurement of military aircraft, owing to the rising defense budget; and upcoming indigenous aircraft, C919.
The market is fairly consolidated with the presence of some large-sized players. Most of the major players compete in some of the governing factors including price, product offerings, regional presence, etc. The following are the key players in the aerodynamic seals market:
