Market Overview:
The global glider aircraft market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast period. The sailplane segment is expected to account for a major share of the global glider aircraft market in terms of value, followed by hang gliders. In terms of application, commercial applications are expected to dominate the global glider aircraft market throughout the forecast period. However, military applications are anticipated to exhibit high growth rates during the latter half of the forecast period. North America is estimated to account for a major share of the global glider aircraft market in 2018 and is projected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A glider is a heavier-than-air aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine.
Sailplane:
Sailplane is a type of glider aircraft that is propelled by sails instead of an engine. It has a rigid wing with the fore and aft sections joined by a flexible diaphragm, which allows the wing to flex in flight. Sailplanes are generally launched from water or land using a catapult-like device called as an Aspiration Launch System (ALS).
The sailplane market size was valued at USD 3,F6 million in 2016.
Hang glider:
Hang glider is a free flight aircraft that is propelled by the wind. It has no rigid wings and can be used for soaring or flying. Hang gliders are mostly used in recreational activities but some of them are also used as a commute to reach higher places.
Application Insights:
The commercial segment held the largest share of more than 70.0% in 2017. The demand for glider aircraft is expected to increase owing to its cost-effectiveness and ease of operation as compared with other conventional aircraft. Moreover, rising awareness regarding passenger safety and comfort is likely to promote the adoption of gliders in commercial aviation over the forecast period.
Military application was one of the key revenue generating segments for hang gliding market owing to increasing defense expenditure by countries such as China, Japan, South Korea.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global glider aircraft market in 2016 with more than 70.0% share of the total revenue. The growth is attributed to soaring popularity of air sports and recreational flying activities across U.S., which has resulted in increased sales of new gliders as well as replacement parts & accessories for existing aircraft. Moreover, presence of leading manufacturers such as hang-gliding simulator manufacturer Airborne Simulation, Inc.
Asia Pacific region accounted for a comparatively smaller share owing to lack of infrastructure facilities at airports compared to developed regions such as North America.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for air travel: The global air travel market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2021. This will lead to an increase in the demand for glider aircrafts as they are more fuel-efficient and environment-friendly than traditional aircrafts.
- Technological advancements: Glider aircraft manufacturers are constantly innovating their products, making them more efficient and user-friendly. This is attracting new customers to the market, thereby driving its growth.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of glider flying: Gliding offers several advantages such as reduced noise pollution and minimal environmental impact compared to other forms of aviation transportations like helicopters and jets etc.. As a result, there is increasing awareness about the benefits of gliding which is propelling its growth across the globe.
