The commercial aircraft landing gear market has demonstrated robust growth in recent years,
• Growing from $9.94 billion in 2024 to $10.8 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
Key factors driving this growth include aging aircraft fleets, increased air travel, regulatory standards, regional expansion, and a deepening emphasis on consumer safety.
The market for commercial aircraft landing gear is anticipated to sustain strong growth momentum over the next few years.
• It is estimated to grow to $15.36 billion in 2029 at a CAGR of 9.2%.
Driving this growth are factors such as aircraft fleet expansion, advancing fuel efficiency, environmental concerns, a shift towards wide-body aircraft, demand for retrofit and maintenance, and increasing automation. Key trends to observe include technological advancements, new aircraft models, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, lightweight materials, retractable landing gear, and electric actuation.
The increasing demand for commercial aircraft is a key driver of the market growth. With aviation emerging as a rapid global transportation network, economic growth, job creation, international trade and tourism have all significantly benefited. The increase in passenger and freight air transport demand has led to the purchase of new aircraft by various air transportation and cargo service providers globally. For example, North American carriers experienced a 28.3% rise in annual traffic in 2023, according to a report published by the International Air Transport Association.
The commercial aircraft landing gear materials market report covers these major segments:
