Aircraft Middleware Market

Aircraft Middleware Market: Introduction

• Business travel and tourism are regaining lost ground, and posting healthy growth rates post-pandemic due to the growth in world trade, increase in globalization, and overall economic growth worldwide. Large number of people are travelling by air to save the time spent in travelling. Air travel is also rising due to falling air ticket prices, rise in new numbers of airlines being launched and growing air connectivity between different countries and cities within the same countries. These factors are estimated to boost the aircraft middleware market during the forecast period.
• Aircraft middleware is a software which acts as a link between aircraft software and the operating systems on which that aircraft software is used.
• Generally aircraft middleware software act as communicator between aircraft software and the operating systems which run these aircraft management software.
• Aircraft middleware are primarily used by airlines and aircraft manufacturers around the world.
• The prevalent trend in the aircraft middleware industry is the rising adoption of IoT (Internet of Things) and cloud systems for the rapid digitization of the aircraft management services.

Key Drivers of Aircraft Middleware Market

• Airlines around the world are increasingly adopting technological solutions like aircraft management software to automate and streamline their operations. Since middleware is a major component of software based aircraft management systems this trend is anticipated to drive the aircraft middleware market.
• Growth in air travel due to rising international business travel and booming global tourism is also expanding the global aircraft middleware market.
• The gradual lifting of travel restrictions related to the COVID 19 pandemic has also contributed to the growth of the global Aircraft Middleware market
• Many new aircraft digitization projects have been launched to improve the aircraft operations as well as increase the utilization rate or block hours of the aircraft to increase the passenger load factor and arrest the revenue leakage to streamline the operating costs of an aircraft and improve the airline’s profitability per aircraft. These aircraft digitization projects necessitate the usage of aircraft middleware which has spurred the airline industry’s interest in global aircraft middleware market.

Challenges in Aircraft Middleware Market

• The ongoing Russia-Ukraine War has significantly reduced the volume of global air travel due to the restrictions imposed on Russia by the West. This is expected to hamper the aircraft middleware market.
• The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns and travel restrictions severely affected the growth of the global aircraft middleware industry leading to significant consolidation of the number of aircraft middleware companies in the industry.
• Aircraft management software including aircraft middleware systems have high upfront investment costs. Thus smaller airlines cannot afford to invest in aircraft middleware. This also limits the global aircraft middleware market.
• Aircraft middleware systems are technically complex to develop and install. This limits the appeal of aircraft middleware to commercial airlines this hurting the growth of global aircraft middleware market.

Opportunities in Aircraft Middleware Market

• Growing demand for the digitization of aircraft from various airlines around the world.
• Many aircraft manufacturers are increasing investments in aircraft digitization projects driven by the increasing operating costs of aircraft. This is expected to open up new revenue generation opportunities in global aircraft middleware market.
• Rising application of IoT and cloud services in the global airline industry is also driving the market for aircraft middleware systems.
• Entry of new startups which are developing new innovations in aircraft middleware is considered to be the next most significant opportunity driving the growth in global aircraft middleware market.

Aircraft Middleware Market Worldwide to Expand Significantly

• North America is predicted to be the dominant region of the global aircraft middleware market due to the presence of many middleware development and services companies, major airlines, large number of air travelers and some of the cheapest costs for air travel in the world.
• Europe is also likely to be a major region of the global aircraft middleware market due to the large number of technology companies, growing digitization of airlines and a well-developed aircraft manufacturing ecosystem.
• Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest growing market due to the rise in air travel, rising trend of digitization of aviation industry as well as launching of many new airlines in China and India.
