A navigation light is a source of illumination on a vessel, aircraft, or spacecraft, also known as a running or location light. Lights provide information on the location, heading, and status. Their placement is mandated by international or civil conventions. The purpose of navigation lights is not to provide illumination for the aircraft making the passage, but only for other craft to be aware of it. It also helps differentiate one type of aircraft from another in airspace.
COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:
New airliners with advanced technology and state-of-the-art infrastructures have increased demand. The increase in the fleet of aircraft due to the increase in passengers traveling drives the growth of the market for navigational lighting. Moreover, the introduction of energy-efficient lighting technologies also drives the market growth. Growing awareness of efficient and green technology forces manufacturers to focus on energy-efficient light like LEDs, which in turn promotes market growth. Moreover, many of the aircraft manufacturers are therefore now upgrading their existing lighting system to match current world standards. Besides, the decrease in the cost of manufacturing LEDs is an opportunity for the navigational lighting market. However, the growth of this market is threatened by factors, including existing backlogs of aircraft deliveries and differences of opinion between airport authorities and inadequate funds.
The global aircraft navigation lights market trends are as follows:
In 2020, Honeywell announced that the fourth phase of a continuous improvement project would be the upgrading of airfield control systems and control systems at Incheon Airport (ICN). To promote safe navigation by increasing controls under most conditions, and enhance operational efficiency, Honeywell is installing its Airfield Ground Lighting Control and Monitoring System (AGLCMS) and Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) technologies. The new system sets out a path within the airfield movement area for each aircraft or vehicle based on information from other airport systems. To help improve capability, ICN is among the first airports to implement “follow greens” – an intelligent guidance technique that works along with the A-SMGCS system. These systems only enable segments of taxiway lighting required to efficiently guide crews and aircraft, leaving others off.
The market for aircraft lighting is highly competitive and has many major players. With companies seeking to capture more market share, they are increasingly investing as part of their business strategy in launching new products, increasing their operations, or entering into strategic mergers and acquisitions. The use of a range of high-power red LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs is a recent development that has only been possible since sufficient brightness has been developed. LED-based lamps have a lifetime considerably longer than incandescent bulbs, which decreases maintenance costs and increases reliability, thereby increasing demand for LED aviation warning lights. Besides, several manufacturers are focused on developing white strobes of medium intensity, based on LED technology to replace xenon.
