Top Aircraft Exhaust System Companies

Aircraft Exhaust System Market size was valued at USD 1052.84 Million in 2024 and is poised to grow from USD 1130.75 Million in 2025 to USD 2001.71 Million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period (2026–2033).

The aircraft exhaust systems market is dominated by a small number of important vendors that compete at the international level. This is a highly competitive market, and the players compete to have the largest share. Design constraints on the design of aircraft exhaust systems, and cancellation of aircraft orders for reasons involving the macroeconomic environment, restrict market growth. In a fiercely competitive market environment, vendors must offer advanced systems to the aircraft OEMs in order to survive. Leading market players are GKN Aerospace (Melrose Industries PLC), Triumph Group Inc., Magellan Aerospace Corp., Rolls-Royce plc and Esterline Technologies Corporation (Transdigm Group Inc.). The players compete mostly through in-house manufacturing, global footprint networks and a stable product portfolio. They also invest heavily in R & D. In addition to that their customer base is relatively large and strong as well. In addition, due to the rapid increase in air passenger traffic, aircraft procurement rate also increased rapidly and this is another driving force for market development throughout the forecast period. Because of the extension and technological developments, competition in the market will become even more intense. For example, in March 2023 Power Flow Systems is celebrating the delivery of their 6500th system since their fist tuned exhaust system back in 1999. The company also expanded its Daytona Beach and Florida branch production facility, as well as the workforce. 'Magellan Aerospace Corporation (Canada)', 'GKN Aerospace (United Kingdom) ', 'Triumph Group Inc. (United States) ', 'Ducommun Incorporated (United States) ', 'Nexcelle (United States) ', 'Esterline Technologies Corporation (United States) ', 'Franke Industries AG (Switzerland) ', 'Safran SA (France) ', 'Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (United Kingdom) ', 'Sky Dynamics Corporation (United States) ', 'Doncasters Limited (United Kingdom) ', 'Parker-Hannifin Corporation (United States) ', 'MTU Aero Engines AG (Germany) ', 'ElringKlinger AG (Germany) ', 'Vallourec S.A. (France) ', 'Forvia Faurecia (France) ', 'Continental AG (Germany) ', 'Eberspächer Group (Germany)'

Rising investment in Research & Development (R&D) on exhaust systems and environmentally friendly emission technology is expected to be a major factor driving market revenue growth through the forecast period. For instance, In September 2021, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a research agreement with GE Aviation for R&D aimed at developing breakthroughs in noise and emissions-reducing technology for aircraft engines. Under the FAA's CLEEN initiative, GE and the U.S. FAA will invest US $ 54.7 million over five years to help drive the development of a variety of environmentally friendly aircraft technologies including open fan engine architecture, electrification and noise-reducing techniques.

The rush to sustainability and environmentally responsible aviation is one of the major trends shaping the global aircraft exhaust systems market. According to our SQ analysis, the development in this sector hinges on the adoption of emerging technologies aimed at mitigating the environmental impact of aircraft. To be more precise, manufacturers are prioritizing the use of lightweight materials, including advanced alloys and cutting-edge composites, particularly in the crafting of exhaust systems. In line with this significant transition, the incorporation of lighter components plays a crucial role in enhancing fuel efficiency and concurrently minimizing emissions.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to register the highest demand for this aircraft exhaust systems market over the forecast period. The rising orders for new aircraft, stoked by the ever-increasing passenger traffic in the region, is behind the demand. IATA forecasts the Boeing 757 to become the first long-distance turbine aircraft. China will eventually become the world's largest aviation market in around a decade, by the mid-2020s. The Ministry of Aviation (India) indicates that by 2030 there will be 80-90 new airports, of which heliports and water aerodromes will account for a number. These include the ones being actively designed and built under central or state government banners at places such as Greenfield sites, etc., with small sized airfields So it was the huge market that encouraged aircraft OEMs to hatch strategic expansion plans that would further penetrate this region.
