Global Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Market Size to Reach USD 4.88 Billion in 2032 | Emergen Research

Increasing need of APUs in military sectors is a major factor driving Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) market revenue growth

Vancouver, Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global market for Aircraft Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) is projected to achieve a value of USD 4.88 Billion by the year 2032. This growth is anticipated to follow a consistent upward trajectory, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.2% throughout the forecast period. The analysis, conducted by Emergen Research, reveals that the continuous advancement of APUs, marked by the development of more compact, lighter units with improved performance metrics like power-to-weight ratios, stands as a primary driver behind the expanding revenue within this market.

Prominent industry players are actively engaged in the innovation of technical solutions to enhance their competitive edge within the aviation auxiliary power unit sector. As a case in point, PBS recently unveiled its latest offering, the PBS APU SPARK40, on June 22, 2023. This cutting-edge turbine power unit is deliberately tailored to serve medium-sized helicopters, airplanes, and large Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Noteworthy for its notable progress beyond the preceding APU product line of the company, this unit introduces a range of enhancements. These include a twofold increase in available Alternating Current (AC) power for onboard systems, amplified pressurized air volume, weight reduction, augmented operational capacities and reliability, along with optimizations in the fuel-oil system.

Nonetheless, the emergence of innovative and ecologically viable power sources emerges as a noteworthy factor that might impose constraints on the progression of market revenues. Electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems present heightened efficiency when juxtaposed with Auxiliary Power Units (APUs). These systems present avenues for substantial advancements in aircraft performance while concurrently curbing carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, these propulsion systems exhibit the potential to curtail maintenance outlays.

Hybrid-electric propulsion configurations, which amalgamate conventional fuel-based main engines with electric motors and batteries, hold significant promise in bolstering both fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in aircraft. Moreover, they possess the inherent capability to curtail security expenses. The implementation of hybrid-electric driven propulsion architectures carries the potential for far-reaching applications spanning a spectrum of aircraft types. The anticipated benefits encompass projected fuel savings ranging from 5% in larger commercial aircraft to an impressive 30% in regional commuter planes.

Strategic Development

On 20 June 2023, Airbus UpNext started a new demonstration program to investigate an innovative design for the production of non-propulsive energy using hydrogen fuel cells both on the ground and in flight. The energy needed to power a number of non-propulsive aircraft functions, such as air conditioning, onboard lighting, and electric power for avionics, is provided in combination with the engines on conventional airliners by APU, a small additional engine that burns traditional jet fuel. Airbus UpNext will swap out the real APU of an A330 with a hydrogen fuel cell system that will produce power with the help of this new technology demonstrator, which will be operated from its facilities in Spain.

  • On 20 June 2023, Airbus UpNext started a new demonstration program to investigate an innovative design to produce non-propulsive energy using hydrogen fuel cells both on the ground and in flight. The energy needed to power several non-propulsive aircraft functions, such as air conditioning, onboard lighting, and electric power for avionics, is provided in combination with the engines on conventional airliners by, a small additional engine that burns traditional jet fuel. Airbus UpNext will swap out the real APU of an A330 with a hydrogen fuel cell system that will produce power with the help of this new technology demonstrator, which will be operated from its facilities in Spain.
  • The rotary-wing aircraft segment is expected to account for largest revenue share in the global aircraft APU market during the forecast period. The rotary-wing aircraft segment is further sub-segmented into helicopter and Military Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. This is because AUPs are being used by various civil and military helicopters more often. Helicopters utilize APU to ignite their main engines and get ready for takeoff, which acts as a backup power supply during flight in case the primary engine fails. For instance, numerous types of both civil and military helicopters have PBS’s SAFIR APUs installed in various configurations. These are used, in the American-engine Z8 civil helicopter or Mi-8, Mi-17, and Mi-171 transport helicopters, which are among the most popular helicopters in the world in terms of both the number of units sold and countries these are used in (over 60).
  • The fuel cell APUs segment is expected to register steadily fast revenue growth rate in the global aircraft APU market over the forecast period. This is because fuel cell assisted APU system can address the issue of unintentional aircraft idling. The use of fuel cells is a significant technological advancement that has the potential to transform how to produce electricity by providing safer, more effective alternatives to the burning of fossil fuels. Vehicle internal combustion engines could eventually be replaced with fuel cells.
