Europe and U.S. Aircraft Strut Market Outlook 2025–2035: Innovation, Growth, and Demand Trends

The global aircraft strut market is entering a period of strong and sustained expansion, driven by rising aircraft production, rapid growth in global passenger traffic, and the aviation industry’s continued shift toward lighter, fuel-efficient structural components. According to new industry estimates, the market is projected to grow from USD 4.42 billion in 2025 to USD 8.15 billion by 2035, registering a robust CAGR of 6.3%.

Aircraft struts—critical structural supports integrated into landing gear and wings—are increasingly at the center of modernization programs across commercial, military, and next-generation aircraft platforms. As global fleets expand and new aircraft enter service, demand for high-strength, durable, and lightweight strut systems is rising sharply.

Aviation Rebound and Fleet Expansion Fuel Market Growth

As global aviation rebounds from pandemic-era disruptions, airlines are not only restoring network capacity but expanding fleets to meet unprecedented passenger and cargo volumes. This industry resurgence is directly boosting demand for robust and technologically advanced strut systems that ensure flight safety, landing stability, and structural load management.

Breakthroughs in composite materials, titanium alloys, and active damping technologies are reshaping the performance and engineering requirements of aircraft struts. These advancements are reducing weight, improving vibration control, and extending maintenance intervals—critical priorities for cost-conscious operators.

North America and Europe Maintain Market Leadership

North America remains the leading hub for the aircraft strut industry, supported by major OEMs, strong MRO activity, and significant investments in military aviation. The United States continues to drive innovation with widespread adoption of carbon-fiber struts that improve fuel efficiency and support sustainability mandates.

Europe is also a powerhouse market, anchored by Airbus and a dense ecosystem of aerospace suppliers in France, Germany, and the UK. The region’s push toward greener aviation, electric aircraft platforms, and lightweight structural components is accelerating the adoption of composite-based and eco-friendly strut systems.

Asia-Pacific Emerges as the Fastest-Growing Region

The Asia-Pacific region is projected to deliver the strongest growth through 2035, fueled by rapid urbanization, rising air travel demand, and massive aircraft procurement programs in China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Airlines such as IndiGo, AirAsia, and China Southern are expanding fleets aggressively, creating substantial demand for landing gear components and strut assemblies.

Local manufacturing initiatives, broader supply chain localization, and government-backed aerospace expansion further strengthen the region’s long-term prospects.

Market Opportunities: Lightweight Materials and New Aircraft Platforms

Weight reduction remains one of the aviation industry’s top priorities, creating strong opportunities for composite, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength strut technologies. Increasing adoption of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), titanium-based struts, and multi-layer hybrid composite structures is transforming product innovation pipelines.

Emerging platforms such as eVTOL aircraft and urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles introduce entirely new design requirements—non-linear structures, compact landing systems, and digitally monitored lightweight strut frames—representing a fast-growing revenue stream for component suppliers.

Industry Shifts: 2020–2024 vs. 2025–2035

Between 2020 and 2024, the market advanced steadily on the back of rising air travel, expanding global fleets, and growing adoption of budget carriers. However, strut technology during this period remained largely traditional, with emphasis on durability and scheduled maintenance cycles.

From 2025 to 2035, the industry is shifting toward digitally integrated, lightweight, and predictive-maintenance-enabled strut systems. Adoption of advanced composites, real-time monitoring sensors, and titanium alloys is set to accelerate. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East are becoming major demand centers as regional fleets grow and airports modernize.

Country-Level Growth Momentum

• United States (6.1% CAGR): Strong commercial and defense aviation activity, growing demand for composite struts, and strict FAA safety mandates.

• United Kingdom (6.2% CAGR): Expanding defense programs, drone applications, and innovations in corrosion-resistant strut designs.

• European Union (6.3% CAGR): Demand for regional jets, advanced landing gear structures, and new alloy development.

• Japan (6.4% CAGR): Rising MRO activity, titanium-based strut adoption, and strong aerospace R&D investments.

• South Korea (6.5% CAGR): Rapid aviation growth, military modernization, and increased export of aerospace components.

Wide-Body Aircraft and Hydraulic Struts Lead Market Share

Wide-body aircraft continue to dominate global share due to high payload requirements and long-haul operations. Aircraft such as the Boeing 777, 787, and Airbus A350 are core growth drivers, with rising demand for freighter conversions also boosting the segment.

Hydraulic operation remains the preferred strut technology, holding the largest market share due to superior impact absorption, smoother load transition, and compatibility with advanced predictive maintenance systems.
