Macroeconomic Factors
Production and Supply
Supply and demand for attitude and heading reference systems are rising during the forecast period, as the usage of this system is growing rapidly in unmanned vehicles and aircraft. Key players are raising the production capacity to cater to the rising demand for AHRS and assist in the growth of GDP of several nations.
GDP
Economic development in emerging economies led to high demand for attitude and heading reference systems. Rising demand for this system in the aviation sector is boosting the market. Increasing production capacity by key players and technological advancements in attitude and heading reference systems are expected to boost the demand for AHRS during the forecast period.
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) Market Market Dynamics
Driver- Rising air traffic across the globe
The major driving factor for the growth of the market is global air traffic is rising rapidly and to manage all this traffics and minimize the risk of plane crashes attitude and heading reference systems act as an effective tool in aviation. Because of that usage of the attitude and heading reference systems is growing spontaneously in civil and commercial aviation which is anticipated to trigger the growth of the AHRS market during the forecast period.
Driver- Increasing Defense Expenditures
Another major driving factor for the growth of the market is global military spending has grown in recent years. Several developed nations are investing rapidly on military expenditure. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute global military expenditure rose by 2.6% from 2017 to 2019. Governments are also focusing on the adoption of new innovative technologies and making innovation fulfilled planes and fighter jets which is expected to fuel the demand for AHRS during the forecast period.
Restraint- Large amount of errors in AHRS data due to the friction and drift
Significant errors occur in the attitude and heading reference system, due to friction and drift, which is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. The first implementation of AHRS was based only on gyroscopes. Gyros are prone to bias, which produces large amount of errors after long periods of integration. Several types of errors occur in AHRS, due to friction, which limits data collection from attitude and heading reference systems.
Opportunity- Integration of AHRS with GPS
GPS-aided AHRS is a convenient and helpful attitude and heading reference system in aircraft. AHRS sensors, which use GPS, help to stabilize the gyro drift and provide an accurate estimate of the inertial acceleration vector. The accuracy of GPS-aided AHRS systems is high and the systems detect the change in velocity and position, without using accelerometers and magnetometers, which is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for market players during the forecast period.
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) Market Segmental Outlook
On basis of type, the market is segmented into Conventional AHRS, Air Data AHRS, and GPS-Aided AHRS. The Conventional AHRS hold the highest market share in 2020. On the global level, this segment is The conventional AHRS segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to rising demand for conventional AHRS in aircraft systems, as conventional AHRS uses mechanical gyroscopic instruments.
Based on component, the market is categorized into Gyroscopes, Magnetometer, Accelerometers, and Digital Processing Unit. The Gyroscopes segment holds the highest market value in 2020 owing to rising demand, as with the measurement of the system’s angular rate gyroscopes providers attitude and heading references.
In terms of end user, the market is divided into Civil Aviation, Military Aviation, Unmanned Vehicles, and Marine. Civil Aviation accounts for the major market share in 2020 and are also expected to be the dominant market segment throughout the forecast period. The civil aviation segment is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period, due to rising demand for attitude and heading reference system in civil aviation.
On basis of platform, the market is segmented into Fixed Wing, Rotary Wing, and UAV. The fixed wings are used mostly in Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)s, thus, holds the highest market share. The fixed wing segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. AHRS is used to measure angular rate, acceleration, and earth’s magnetic field in fixed-wing aircraft.
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) Market Regional Outlook
Based on regions the global Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) market is segmented into five regions namely North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa. The market in North America is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Aircraft manufacturers in this region are using AHRS rapidly in aircraft, which is anticipated to fuel the market during the forecast period.
