According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aircraft Survival Equipment Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.83% during the forecast period. The aircraft survival equipment is a set of basic tools and kits used for emergency survival. Survival kits are installed in all types of aircraft to improve safety during flight hours. An aircraft's survival is improved by installing electronic support equipment. It consists of the flight control, avionics, navigation, and communication systems. Electronic attack systems are also used to protect aircraft from enemy attacks and to damage external threats. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of the aviation sector, increased air traffic, and rising aircraft orders all contribute to increased demand for aircraft survival equipment. Due to an increase in the number of accidents and mishaps occurring around an aircraft, various governing bodies tighten safety standards, which drives market growth.
According to an IATA report, India will surpass the United Kingdom to become the third-largest aviation market by 2024. Increased spending on the aviation industry and the construction of new airports increase demand for new survival equipments in aircraft.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising demand for military aircraft and advanced safety kits for military troops
The market is expanding due to rising demand for military aircraft and advanced safety kits for military troops during combat operations. Aircraft survival equipment reduces the fragility of fighter jets, allowing crew members to conduct military operations safely. The equipment increases the aircraft's survivability against emerging threats while maintaining combat mission efficiency. Increasing defence spending, increased procurement of next-generation fighter aircraft, and an increase in military exercises will all contribute to market growth. Furthermore, growing political conflicts and territorial disputes among neighbouring nations continue to fuel demand for advanced military aircraft, driving market growth.
Restrain:
High costs & Design challenges
The installation of advanced safety features necessitates extensive training of the flight crew, which is an expensive endeavor. Moreover, to obtain operational credit, flight component subsystems must meet several requirements pertaining to the information provided and instruments used in the system, according to the US Code of Federal Regulations. As a result, the certification process is stringent, necessitating R&D expenditure to design a system that complies with all existing regulations and is fit for installation onboard various aircraft models. The lengthy and capital-intensive process of properly certifying aircraft survival equipment components and subsystems may limit market growth.
Opportunity:
Rise in number of air passengers globally
The increased global air passenger traffic necessitates the expansion of existing airports as well as the construction of new airports, creating lucrative opportunities for the aircraft survival equipment market. For example, 50 airports in the United States spent an estimated 70 billion USD in 2018 on expanding existing airports as well as building and developing new airports. Furthermore, the Economic Times reports that India will add 100 airports in the next 15 years to keep up with the increase in air passenger movement. Such airport expansion and development will create a demand for airport passenger security equipment, driving the growth of the global aircraft survival equipment market.
Threat:
Stringent regulatory framework
A wide range of bilateral, national, and international regulations and standards bind the actions of airports and aircraft operators in the aviation industry. The International Civil Aviation Organization is tasked with developing global standards for the commercial aviation sector in order to ensure the safe operation of aircraft and to keep risks to an acceptable level. The aviation industry's ongoing globalization and liberalization has put significant pressure on incumbents to compete commercially in an increasingly competitive market. In order to improve safety standards, aircraft components and survival equipment are subjected to stringent quality inspections and testing. Furthermore, with rapid technological advancements and new technologies and products replacing old ones every five to seven years, survival equipments face a challenge in adhering to the regulatory environment.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the defence, aerospace, aviation, and other related industries. The global spread of the COVID-19 virus has reduced revenue for airlines and aircraft manufacturers. Because of the declared lockdowns around the world, the supply chain of spare parts for aircraft survival equipment has been hampered. Lockdowns of airports around the world and a halt to all activities within airports have reduced opportunities for aircraft evacuation industries and hampered their business development potential. The market has experienced some disruption in the supply chain, but it has begun to regain momentum following the lockdown and eased travel restrictions.
The Medical Kit segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
During the forecast period, the medical kit segment is expected to register the largest share owing to its wide usage among the passengers and its availability on all flights. These first-aid kits are primarily used by commercial airlines and are standard equipment for major aircraft manufacturers. The medical kit consists of Ondansetron, an anti-nausea medication, Epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPen), for treatment of severe allergies, Antacid tablets and other medicines. The medical kit is typically stored in a locked compartment in an overhead bin behind the last row of seats or in first class.
The Defense segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
During the forecast period, the defence segment is expected to witness the highest share due to increasing defence spending and the focus of government bodies and manufacturers on air safety. Moreover, an increase in military aircraft procurement around the world is driving up demand for aircraft survival equipment.
Region with largest share:
During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest share in the market due to growing urbanisation, increased air traffic, and increased demand for new aircraft. An increase in the number of air travellers, as well as rising aviation spending in emerging economies such as China and India, will drive market growth in the near future. Furthermore, increased spending on the aviation industry and the construction of new airports leads to an increase in demand for new aircraft.
Region with highest CAGR:
The North America region is expected to grow significantly and to register the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. In North America, approximately 1,800 new units were produced in 2018. As a result, in terms of fleet, North America is the most viable region for stockholders in the global aircraft survival equipment market because the region is expected to account for nearly 37% of global production, which is expected to accelerate demand for aircraft evacuation systems during the forecast period. Additionally, the region's increasing investment in the defense sector is likely to fuel the market in the region.

Key Developments:
In March 2022, Survitec, a survival technology specialist launched a ‘smaller and lighter single-seat life raft’ (SSLR) to equip military aircraft pilots on critical missions. The newly developed Micro SSLR is a lightweight and compact life raft that results in a 20 percent reduction in weight
In February 2022, The Indian Ministry of Defense signed a contract worth USD 26.5 million with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to supply the Indian Air Force (IAF) with an advanced Electronic Warfare suite for its fighter aircraft. Under the agreement, the company will deliver advanced electronic warfare equipment that improves the battle-survivability of IAF fighter aircraft. It helps operational missions of IAF against surveillance and ground-based radars and airborne fire control
