The global Aviation Headsets market size was valued at USD 1,215.2 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period, 2022 to 2028. High demand for digital and Bluetooth enabled active noise reduction headsets to accelerate the market growth.
Aviation headsets are a type of headsets which are worn by pilots in order to to reduce the ambient noise levels in an aircraft or their surroundings.
The sounds can include engine, airflow and blade noise. In case if the hearing protection device is not used in a non-pressurized aircraft, the pilot or any of his or her passengers might experience hearing loss in short period time of time over on repetitive practice.
In addition to it the aviation headsets are also worn by the people operating the ground clearance and related activities and are designed to enhance communication between different people in an aircraft.
In addition to it the aviation headsets are also worn by the people operating the ground clearance and related activities and are designed to enhance communication between different people in an aircraft. All the aviation headsets allow radio and intra-cabin communication. Globally, North America region has the highest market share owing to presence of large Aviation manufacturer’s across this region.
Recently the new digital noise reduction (DNR) aviation headset is the elevated ANR aviation headset version which facilitates features such as Bluetooth connectivity, extreme comfort, advanced microphone, lightweight among others. DNR aerospace headsets process the surrounding noise to reduce it to safe levels. It utilizes external microphones to gauge the noise in the external environment. Enhanced noise reduction can be achieved through more external microphones for the better clarity in the communication during flight. Also, the high adoption rate of wireless communication systems and its components has fueled the demand for the blue tooth aviation headsets.
With the outbreak of COVID-19, the production and sales of aircraft came to a sudden halt in most of European countries. The global passenger volume and the total infrastructure cost decreased by 60.5% and 45.4%, respectively, in 2020. Such lowered demand has severely impacted the general aviation market in Europe and affected the businesses of aircraft OEMs, such as building and maintaining airliners, parts suppliers, and catering, among others.
However, Airbus, a European aircraft manufacturing giant based in France, foresees a faster recovery of the aviation industry and aircraft manufacturing in the coming years. It says the global and European aviation industry is expected to reach the pre-COVID levels during 2023–2025, whereas the European general aviation industry is expected to surpass its pre-COVID levels by 2022. According to the company, Airbus helicopters witnessed a decline in its deliveries as the numbers reached 272 units in FY 2020 compared to 300 units in FY 2019. Airbus is also planning to modify its global workforce and resize its commercial aircraft activity in response to the COVID-19 crisis. This impacted negatively on its demand of aviation accessories such as communication systems, aviation headsets, and pilot helmets in 2020.
By end-user industry the market is divided into Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft and General Aviation.
Commercial Aircraft: The commercial aircraft segment is anticipated to hold the dominant market share. The growth is attributed to the worldwide air transportation enhancement and new airport construction for better connectivity which has impacted on the rise in the number of aircraft fleet and new pilot recruitment amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Military Aircraft: The military aircraft segment is anticipated to the second largest by market share due to the expansion of military aviation wing and the acquisition of the military transport aircraft fleet worldwide.
General Aviation: General Aviation (GA) is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as all civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire.
The market is divided into on-board headsets and ground support headsets.
On-Board Headsets: This segment holds dominant market share owing to the high demand for these headsets with variable fits and better noise reduction capability. The on-board headsets segment is further sub-segmented into Integrated Headset and Wireless Headsets. Majorly in the market are on-board headsets from the OEMs such as Bose Corporation, David Clark Company, Light speed Aviation and Others.
Ground Support Headsets: These are great for all ground activities including airport baggage handlers, ground crews, ramp agents, and accident site investigators. The ground support headsets segment is further sub-segmented into Mobile Unit or Belt pack and Base Unit Aircraft Station.
The component segment for the aviation headsets market is classified into antenna, transponder, receiver, transmitter, transceiver, display & processor.
Antenna: The antenna is an electronic component of an aviation headsets communication system that transmits or receives the signals. Antenna type & size can vary depending on the frequency band used by the antenna for communication. An aircraft utilizes various antennas simultaneously installed in different aircraft parts for different purposes. Aircraft antennas are placed accordingly to avoid interference of radio waves of various antennas such as satellite communication, a global positioning system (GPS), air traffic control and traffic collision system, and cellular terminal system.
Transponder: A transponder is an avionic system located on board the aircraft that provides information about the aircraft identification and barometric altitude to the ATC system on the ground and to TCAS on other aircraft.
Globally, APAC region has the highest market share owing to presence of Aviation Headsets manufacturer’s across this region. Also, this region has the highest population and growing economy which largely boosts the Automotive, Building & Construction, and Furniture markets at large thereby directly benefiting the phenolic resin’s market. Besides this, the environmental laws are not stringent in the developing economies like India and some South East Asian countries which makes them global suppliers for this products.
Some of the prominent companies manufacturing Aviation Headsets products include Bosch Security and Safety Systems, Bose Corporation, David Clark Company, Faro Aviation, GBH Headsets, Lightspeed Aviation, Pilot Communications USA, Plantronics, Inc. SEHT LIMITED, Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG. Most of the companies are giant companies having diversified portfolio and have their presence across different parts of the world. The giant companies usually adopt merger and acquisition strategies as there was recent decline in the aviation industry due to impact of corona virus across several businesses and stringent environmental regulations across developed countries.
Hence, the giant companies found this as great opportunity to acquire smaller companies that either provided differentiated products or has completely new aviation business.
