Global Aircraft Mounts Market By Mount (Exterior Mounts, Interior Mounts), By Aircraft (General Aviation, Commercial, Military), By Material (Steel Alloys, Aluminum Alloys, Nickel-based Alloys, Rubber, Polyamide), By Application (Suspension, Vibration, Engine Mounts), By Region, and Key Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2021-2031

Mounts are safety equipment used in aircraft to prevent shocks, reduce vibrations, reduce unwanted movement of aircraft components, and also to fit various aircraft components to an aircraft’s structure. There are several types of aircraft mounts, including engine mounts, which limit the excessive movement of an engine when the engine is subjected to abnormal loads or shocks.

The aircraft mount connects the engine to the airframe or fuselage and distributes the engine’s weight. The most stressed parts of an aircraft are the aircraft mounts. They’re light, have a high fracture toughness, and can assist sustain high strength at temperatures as high as 500°C. The aircraft mount stabilizes and isolates a plane’s structure from engine vibrations, as well as reducing aircraft component noise. They’re mostly found in commercial planes, general aviation planes, and military planes like fighter jets and military helicopters.

Aircraft engines have evolved over time and are more compact in size. These engines are capable of producing higher thrust power. This created thrust causes vibrations and noise, thus rubber and steel suspension components, now known as shock mounts, were designed to reduce vibrations and noise.

Market Dynamics

The increased demand for mounts is likely to be fueled by a greater number of military-grade aircraft such as choppers, helicopters, jets, and specialized fighter aircraft being added to the air forces. Innovation in specialty war equipment installed in war aircraft needs customized mounts, thus they are projected to have a favorable impact on the industry. The increase in the number of passengers flying domestically and internationally are expected to boost demand for commercial flights, thereby boosting market revenue growth for this industry in the process.

The aviation business has benefited from an increase in the number of international travelers due to the tourism industry’s growth. Furthermore, passenger preferences for comfort and safety during flights have driven airlines to deliver improved services, which has aided the aircraft mounts industry’s expansion.

The replacement of several commercial and military aircraft, as well as an increase in aircraft backlogs, are expected to create favorable opportunities for the aircraft mounting industry. However, this market’s growth is projected to be hampered by the high material cost of mounts.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, as well as the tourism and aviation industries. The demand for aircraft is being impacted by the cancellation of a large number of flights, and travel restrictions which may result in the cancellation of airplane orders in the near future, in turn putting pressure on aircraft manufacturers.
