Market Overview:
The global flight simulator market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for flight simulators from military and commercial applications. Additionally, the growing adoption of virtual reality (VR) technology in flight simulators is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, the global flight simulator market can be segmented into full-flight simulator (FFS), fixed-based simulator/flight management system (FBS/FMS), and other types. The FFS segment is expected to account for a major share of this market during the forecast period owing to its high accuracy and realism compared with other types of simulators. On the basis of application, this market can be divided into military application and commercial application segments.
Product Definition:
A flight simulator is a computer program that can be used to simulate flying an airplane. They are often used for training pilots, but can also be used for recreation. Flight simulators are important because they allow pilots to practice flying in a safe environment without risking the lives of passengers or other aircraft.
FFS (Full Flight Simulator):
The FFS (Full Flight Simulator) is a computerized environment with real world conditions that provides near-perfect flying conditions for training and mission planning. It's primary objective is to provide pilots with all the information they need to execute flights easily and safely. The simulator also helps in improving the overall efficiency of pilot training, as well as providing an excellent experience during actual flight missions.
FFS has been used by airlines, aircraft manufacturers, military aviation trainers.
FTD (Flight Training Devices):
FTD (Flight Training Devices) are devices that provide flight training to the pilot using a computerized environment. FTDs have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to offer an unparalleled level of safety and convenience during ground training as well as flight operations.
The global market for FTD is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for commercial aviation across various regions, growing passenger traffic, and need for better trained pilots.
Application Insights:
The military application segment dominated the global flight simulator market in 2017, accounting for a share of over 60.0% by revenue. The growth can be attributed to the increasing use of flight simulators in training and mission rehearsals for armed forces pilots across the world. Furthermore, governments are investing significantly in developing new full-scale Flight Training Devices (FTD) that provide realistic aircraft handling capabilities than conventional simulators. For instance, Indonesia has developed an advanced FTD with funding from Malaysia that is used by its air force for pilot training purposes.
The commercial application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising adoption of FFSs and FTDs among major airlines including Lufthansa Technik AG., British Airways Ltd., Air France KLM Group), as well as regional carriers (e.g., United Arab Emirates' Gulf Air).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The U.S., being a leading military power, has used flight simulators for training and simulation-based research purposes. Moreover, the presence of major manufacturers such as CAE Inc.; FlightSafety International; L3Harris Technologies, Inc.; and Thales Group is expected to have a positive impact on regional growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from commercial operators for training sessions conducted at airports across countries such as China and India among others are expected drive regional demand during the forecast period. Furthermore, rising adoption by military forces due to enhanced combat capabilities offered by these devices is further likely boost industry expansion within APAC region over next eight years to 2030 time frame).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for air travel: The global air travel market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2016 to 2021, reaching a total value of 7.8 billion by 2021. This growth is being driven by the increasing number of passengers travelling by air, rising disposable incomes in emerging markets, and the development of new airports and aviation infrastructure.
- Technological advancements: Flight simulator technology is constantly evolving, with new features and capabilities being developed all the time. This has helped to keep interest in flight simulation high, and ensure that the market remains competitive and innovative.
- Growing popularity of flight simulators among hobbyists: Flight simulators have become increasingly popular among hobbyists in recent years due to their realistic graphics and immersive gameplay experience . This has helped to drive demand for flight simulator hardware and software, as well as create opportunities for new players in the market .
