Aircraft Propeller Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Fixed Pitch Propeller, Constant Speed Propellers, and Ground-Adjustable Propellers), By Design (Wood Blades, Aluminium Alloy Blades, and Composite Blades), By Components (Blade Tip, Chord, Leading Edge, Trailing Edge, and Hub), By Aircraft Type (Military Aircraft, and Civil Commercial Aircraft), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

An aircraft propeller is a crucial part of the propulsion system utilized by various aircraft types. It comprises many blades attached to a hub and rotates quickly to produce thrust and move the plane into the air. The aircraft propellers' design and performance greatly influence the aircraft's efficiency, maneuverability, and safety. The aircraft propeller market is predicted to display commendable progress during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

The demand for aircraft propellers has increased due to the expanding regional air transport sector, particularly in emerging economies. There have been considerable technological improvements in the aviation propeller sector. Manufacturers are creating sophisticated composite materials and using cutting-edge design strategies to increase propeller efficiency, lower noise levels, and boost fuel efficiency. Due to their improved performance, variable-pitch propellers and sophisticated blade designs are becoming more common.

The aircraft propeller market for airplane propellers is competitive, with several well-established competitors and many independent suppliers and manufacturers. The main market participants are concentrating on research and development to launch novel items and broaden their product lines. To increase market presence, alliances and collaborations with aviation operators and manufacturers are frequent. The market for aircraft propellers is mostly driven by the rising demand for regional aircraft, technological improvements, environmental concerns, and the need to upgrade and adapt current fleets

COVID-19 Impact on Aircraft Propeller Industry

The outbreak caused travel restrictions, lockdowns, and decreased passenger demand, leading to a significant drop in air travel. Airlines reduced their operations, resulting in a decrease in demand for new aircraft, notably those with propellers. Due to financial difficulties and uncertain market conditions, many airlines delayed or canceled their aircraft orders. As a result, demand for airplanes propeller fell as manufacturers saw fewer new orders and postponed deliveries. Airlines postponed maintenance and repair tasks, such as propeller overhauls and replacement, due to lower flight schedules, as a result, demand for aftermarket propeller service fell, reducing revenue for maintenance, repair, and overhauling (MRO) providers.

Aircraft Propeller Market Segmentation

Recent Development

• In May 2023, Alaska Airlines partnered with ZeroAvia to retrofit a hydrogen-electric propulsion system into a Bombardier Q400. The upgraded aircraft will expand the scope and applicability of zero-emission flight technology, further advancing the aviation industry's pursuit of net zero carbon emissions. 


• In January 2023, a US startup's bladeless VTOL can reach up to 0.8 Mach. Jetoptera, a Seattle-based ariel mobility firm's innovative bladeless vertical takeoff, and landing (VTOL) aircraft concept, has demonstrated the ability to reach speeds of 0.8 Mach (614 mph) during testing. According to the firm, its proprietary Fluidic Propulsion System (FPS) enables the airplane to take off and land vertically yet accelerate to jet speeds in forward flight configuration- a High-Speed VTOL (HSVTOL).
