An overview: The market share of the air cargo ULD
The air cargo ULD market was valued at US$ 279.4 million in 2016 and is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.4% over the next five years to reach US$ 382.3 million in 2022. Growing cargo traffic (freight tonne kilometers) owing to accelerating urbanization and increasing disposable income, increasing deliveries of commercial aircraft, increasing demand for lightweight ULD, large ULD fleet size, and an advancement in the technology are some of the major growth drivers of the market. Cargo is an essential part of the airline business today. It contributed roughly 9% of the airlines' revenue which is more than twice the revenues from the first-class segment. The biggest benefit of air cargo ULD is that it allows bundling a large quantity of cargo into a single unit. This helps to minimize the airlines’ operational cost by saving the ground crew time and efforts.
Wide-body aircraft: The growth engine
Based on the aircraft type, wide-body aircraft is expected to remain the largest segment of air cargo ULD market during the forecast period. The high number of ULDs per aircraft, increasing the share of wide-body aircraft, and increasing demand for wide-body aircraft by cargo airlines are some of the major growth drivers of the segment. Wide-body aircraft is also expected to experience the highest growth during the same period.
Dominance of: Lower deck and Composites-based air cargo ULD
Based on the deck type, the lower deck is projected to remain the largest segment of air cargo ULD market during the forecast period, driven by the usage in both the passenger and freighter aircraft. Passenger aircraft uses mainly lower hold for ULD whereas freighter aircraft uses both the main deck and lower hold for ULD.
Based on the material type, composites-based air cargo ULD is likely to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. The increasing demand for lightweight containers to increase the fuel efficiency is the major driver of the segment. High durability and increased life of containers are additional growth drivers of the segment. Composites-based containers are about 20% to 40% lighter than that of aluminum-based similar sized containers.
A highly/moderately/fragment consolidated Market
The key air cargo ULD manufacturers are Zodiac Aerospace, Cargo Composites, Nordisk Aviation Products, VRR Aviation, and Satco Inc. Lightweight containers, a partnership with ULD management companies, and regional expansion are the key strategies adopted by the key players to gain a competitive edge in the market.
