Connector is a device that connects electrical terminations to form an electrical circuit. Connectors makes the maintenance easy when frequent disconnection is necessary. It also serves as a way of connecting wires for the transmission and reception of signal and electricity. Moreover, connectors should be reliable, easy to use as well as sealed to prevent the entry of moisture and other fluids. They should also be designed to minimize contact resistance and ideally, they should exhibit a constant impedance that accurately matches the system in which they are used. Aviation connectors have multipin which interconnects with contact housings and contact interface geometries. Aviation connectors are designed to provide solutions for the current generation of aircraft. Furthermore, the technology utilized in aviation connectors helps to monitor both the reliability needed for critical systems as well as environmental concerns such as shock, vibration, and extreme temperature ranges. Furthermore, most connectors feature high density, high power, RF as well as high-speed capabilities which are needed for cockpit avionics, navigation systems, and various other airframe applications. Aviation connectors are also utilized in high-end interconnection systems for the commercial aviation industry, civil aircraft, drones, space launchers, satellites, military aviation, and space stations, among others.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis:
- Government across major countries have announced a lockdown because of the COVID 19 pandemic resulting in the halt in business. The lockdown and travel restrictions have severely affected the aviation industry since, the global air travel was halted. Moreover, due to the lockdown aircraft manufacturing was disrupted thus affecting the demand for aviation connectors. Furthermore, the delivery of the already manufactured aviation connectors was delayed due to lockdown. Furthermore, due to social distancing norms, there was labor unavailability of required for manufacturing of aviation connectors which further delayed the operation. Moreover, there was unavailability of raw material which affected the production of aviation connectors. Aviation industry is developing sector which was severely affected by the pandemic, but it is expected to recover and drive the for-aviation connectors market. post pandemic Rise in number of aircraft manufacturing, increase in demand for fiber optic aviation connectors, and surge in passenger travel by air is expected to drive growth of the market.
- Existing backlogs of aircraft deliveries and obtaining quality accreditations hinder the growth of the market.
- Shift towards electric architecture & technology, diverse applications of connectors in an aircraft, and rise in demand for new passenger amenities in aircraft act as an opportunity for growth of the market.
Market Trends
Fiber optic connectors are developing significantly for usage in aviation applications primarily in commercial aircraft. Aircraft designers are focusing more on electric aircraft to replace mechanical control systems, embedded computers are improving to handle increased signal processing and control demands. Moreover, passenger amenities such as in-flight entertainment and internet access require a high transmission rate to provide the capabilities for high-definition video and high-speed online connectivity. Fiber optic technology is an ideal option for transmitting high-speed data as it has reduced power, weight, and others. For instance, according to Inmarsat Aviation 2018 Inflight Connectivity Survey, about 66% of the passengers believe in-flight Wi-fi is necessary. Furthermore, ITT Cannon's ARINC 801 fiber-optic connector series is designed for usage in severe environments that require accurate data transfer and high-speed, such as aviation systems. The connector operates at transmission speeds of 10Gbit/s and higher, making it appropriate for in-flight entertainment and networking, commercial and military avionics, and ground-based communications. Thus, demand for in-flight infotainment will boost the demand for fiber optics which is expected to drive the growth of the aviation connectors market.
