The aircraft communication system market is estimated to grow from USD 3.08 Billion in 2017 to USD 5.20 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.02% from 2017 to 2022. The objectives of this study are to analyze the report, along with its statistics from 2017 to 2022. It also aims to define, describe, and forecast the aircraft communication system market based on end user, product type, component, platform, and region. 2016 has been considered as the base year for this study whereas 2017 to 2022 has been considered as the forecast period.

The research methodology that has been used to estimate and forecast the aircraft communication system market begins with the capturing of data on the revenues of the key manufacturers of aircraft communication systems through secondary sources such as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), and paid databases. Aircraft communication systems offered by different manufacturers have also been taken into consideration to determine the segmentation of the market. The bottom-up procedure has been employed to arrive at the overall size of the aircraft communication system market from the revenue of key players in the market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market has been split into several segments and subsegments, which have then been verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key experts such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors, and executives of the leading companies operating in the market. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and subsegments. The breakdown of profiles of primaries has been depicted in the figure below:

The aircraft communication system market is projected to grow from USD 3.08 Billion in 2017 to USD 5.20 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.02% from 2017 to 2022. Increasing focus of manufacturers of aircraft communication systems on the development and incorporation of next-generation technologies in their systems is expected to fuel the growth of the market across the globe. Moreover, the shift of airlines from ground-based navigation surveillance to satellite-based navigation surveillance is also contributing to the growth of the market across the globe. The report has been segmented based on end user, product type, component, platform, and region.

Aircraft communication systems use analog voice signals and digital data for communication between pilots, crew members, and passengers during flight. These systems are also used for communication between different aircraft. Aircraft communication systems are used to establish communication between aircraft and ground stations and vice-versa.

Based on end user, the aircraft communication system market has been segmented into Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket. The OEMs segment is expected to lead the market in 2017. In the aviation industry, aircraft are manufactured and delivered to airlines with aircraft communication systems already installed in them. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responsible for the installation of communication systems in aircraft.

Based on product type, the aircraft communication system market has been segmented into SATCOM, VHF/UHF/L-Band, HF communication, data link, and others. The SATCOM segment is expected to lead the market in 2017. Presently, satellite communication (SATCOM) is typically offered by various communication centers that interconnect ground-based communication facilities with suitably equipped aircraft. This communication service is provided through either relay of radio calls by radio operators or automatic call connecting to phone lines through a telephone gateway.

Based on component, the aircraft communication system market has been segmented into transponder, transceiver, antenna, transmitter, receiver, display & processor, and others. The transceiver segment of the market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The aircraft communication system market has been studied in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). The North American region is expected to lead the market in 2017 as the region is home to several leading players of the aircraft communication system, which include Northrop Grumman, Rockwell Collins, Raytheon, Honeywell, and Curtiss-Wright, among others.

The high costs incurred in the development of different types of aircraft communication systems are among the key factors restraining the growth of the aircraft communication system market across the globe. Significant investments are required at different stages of the value chain of the aircraft communication system industry (especially in the R&D, manufacturing, system integration, and assembly stages).

This report contains information on the products offered by various companies operating in the market. The recent developments section of the report provides information on the strategies adopted by various companies between September 2011 and September 2017 to strengthen their position in the aircraft communication system market.
