Market Highlights
"The aircraft electrical solid-state power controller or SSPC market was valued at US$ 263 million in 2023 and registered a healthy growth of +5.0% during 2024-2032."
Solid-state power controllers (SSPCs) are semiconductor devices that primarily control power (voltage and current) supplied to a load. They are an important constituent of the aircraft's electrical power distribution systems, which are largely responsible for controlling, switching, protecting, and isolating the aircraft's electrical circuits. They perform supervisory and diagnostic functions in order to identify overload conditions and prevent short circuits. In recent years, SSPCs have been replacing contactors and circuit breakers for circuit protection, due to their faster operation and high service life expectancy.
Recent tribulations in the industry caused a stroke of bad luck not just for the aircraft SSPCs market stakeholders, but for the entire aerospace realm. During the past few years, the industry struggled to stay afloat amid the COVID-19 thunderstorm. The existing dark clouds of the B737 MAX grounding acted as hay to the fire. The grave impact of this struggle was evident in the aircraft SSPCs market during 2020-2021. However, the last few years have been a journey toward a slow and steady recovery. This has posed 2024 as a year full of ample opportunities and growth.
Recent Product Developments: Key focus areas for leading players include lightweight and compact designs and the ability to function efficiently at high power.
Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:
- 2019: TransDigm acquired Leach International Corporation
- 2023: Safran acquired Thales' aeronautical electrical systems business
- Aircraft Insights
- "Commercial aircraft accounted for the largest market share."
- Based on the aircraft type, the market is segmented into commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, helicopter, military aircraft, and UAV. Commercial aircraft are expected to remain at the forefront and grow at a healthy pace during the forecast period. Both Airbus and Boeing finished 2023 with a bang, with Airbus breaking three industry records. For the year 2023, Airbus received 2,319 gross orders and delivered 735 aircraft. Boeing on the other hand received 1,456 gross orders and delivered 528 aircraft.
- Phase Insights
- "Three-phase SSPC accounted for the largest market share."
- Based on the phase type, the market is segmented into single-phase SSPCs and three-phase SSPCs. Between these phase types, three-phase SSPC is expected to remain the dominant phase-type in the market during the forecast period. Single-phase SSPCs are suitable for smaller aircraft or sub-systems of large aircraft. Three-phase SSPCs are designed to handle higher electrical power as compared to single-phase SSPCs; hence, they are suitable for large aircraft and crucial applications where high-power management is required.
- Regional Trends
- "North America accounted for the largest market share."
- In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft SSPCs during the forecast period. North America and Europe steered the market with a collective share of >75% in 2023. The favored place for aircraft manufacturing, North America grabbed the biggest chunk of the market and is likely to maintain its undeniable dominance till 2032. Airbus surpassed Boeing in terms of deliveries, winning the deliveries crown for the fifth consecutive year. This ultimately fuels the European market. Key thrust-bearer for North America: the USA, for Europe: France and Germany, and for Asia-Pacific: China and India. Emerging players in Asia-Pacific, such as Shanghai HYJAS Electronics Co. Ltd., Infineon Technologies, and YoungPoong Electronics Co., Ltd., are fueling the long-term region's growth.
