Aircraft Braking System Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Single Disc Brakes, Floating Disc Brakes, Dual-Disc Brakes, Multiple Disc Brakes, Segmented Rotor-Disc Brakes, Carbon Brakes, and Expander Tube Brakes), By Actuation (Independent Brake, Boosted Brake, and Power Brake), By Point of Sale (Original Equipment Manufacturers and Aftermarket), By Components (Wheels, Brake Discs, Actuators, Valves, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032.

The aircraft braking system market is undergoing notable growth, with a substantial CAGR expected during the forecast period leading up to 2032. The aircraft braking system is used to slow down or stop the motion of an aircraft on ground. The brakes can be hydraulically or pneumatically controlled. The brake systems consists of several components such as discs, brakes, brake housing, and others.

The aircraft braking system industry is driven by the need to enhance the safety and efficiency of the aircraft. Increasing passenger traffic forces the airlines to acquire new aircraft. This is turn creates demand for the aircraft braking system. Increased manufacturing and setting up of new production sites are factors positively impacting the market.

The aircraft braking system on an aircraft works by converting the kinetic energy of the aircraft into heat energy which is dissipated into the atmosphere. The rudder pedals allow the pilots to control the brakes. Depending upon the actuation of the system, the angle by which the rudder pedal is pressed decides the amount of force to be applied on the wheels. Independent brake actuation system works without requiring the aircraft’s main hydraulic system. The boosted brake and power brake actuation system require the aircraft’s main hydraulic system to generate pressure.

A major restraint for the development of new braking systems are the regulations imposed by the regulatory aviation bodies such as the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), which makes it difficult to make a new system while adhering to the guidelines instructed.

Key Insights:

The report will describe the following key insights:

• The report analyzes a detailed industry overview, including qualitative and quantitative information.


• The report analyzes an overview and forecast of the global aircraft braking system industry based on various segments.
