Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers Market

Need for Frequent Aircraft Tyre Check & Replacement Opening Gates for Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers

In aircrafts wheels are an important component of a landing gear system. With tires mounted upon them, they support the entire weight of the aircraft during standby, takeoff, and landing. Modern aircraft wheels are typically manufactured by casting or forging process employing two part structure that are collective used to form a wheel. Aircraft wheels differ slightly in design from automotive wheels owing to the fact these have to accommodate multiple disc brake variants.

An aircraft wheel assembly is inspected as often as possible. Any signs of suspected damage require the use of aircraft wheel bead breakers to remove the wheel assembly from the aircraft. The aircraft wheel bead breakers market is likely to surge by increasing air traffic and the emergence of low cost carriers (LCC) in near future.

What Factors are Influencing Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers Market?

The tyre bead is an important part of an aircraft tire. It anchors the tyre carcass and provides a dimensional, firm mounting surface for the tyre on the wheel rim. The beads are strong as they are made from high-strength carbon steel wire bundles encased in rubber.

The bead transfers the impact loads and deflection forces to the wheel rim. A need for a simple tool to break the bead for removing tyre from the rim of a wheel in efficient and effective manner is most likely to create a demand for aircraft wheel bead breakers. Furthermore, a growth in demand for helicopters and business jets to accommodate medical supplies were evident in recent times. Hence, the growing demand of aviation industry is likely to favor the aircraft wheel bead breaker market in continuous momentum.

What is the Market Potential of Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers Market?

With the growing demand from commercial aircraft segment, a huge market potential is evident for the aircraft wheel bead breaker. Although the decline in delivery of commercial aircraft was seen in 2020 due to COVID pandemic, the prime aircraft OEMs like Airbus and Boeing are now focusing to ramp-up their aircraft production and delivery rates.

Before the advent of COVID pandemic, a large number of orders were placed by several airlines to expand their fleet sizes and cater their services to more passengers, with a positive outlook for the commercial aviation industry; unfortunately, these orders were not fulfilled on time by the OEMs as the aviation industry was put on halt by the government to curb rising COVID cases. Domestic airline passenger traffic is expected to recover faster. In turn, fueling the demand for narrow-body aircraft in coming years.

On the other hand, in 2020 several freighter operators were forced to order new aircraft with the increased demand for cargo operations. For instance, in January 2021, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. ordered four new Boeing 747-8 freighter aircraft that will enable the company to meet strong customer demand in the airfreight market. Such developments are expected to drive the growth of the aircraft wheel bead breaker market.

Which are the Potential Segments for Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers Market?

Hydraulic bead breakers have a high potential to drive the large share of aircraft wheel bead breakers market. This is mainly due to the benefits attached with its procurement such as telescoping legs to adjust for tire widths, accommodates locking ring type wheel, and provides three padded sliding bottom breaker pads to protect against rim damage.

The wheel is taken at the center hub by means of hydraulically operated clamping tools and is then lifted to working height. The driven press tools, as soon as in contact with the tire, rotate the wheel and at the same time break the bead and gently move the tire sidewall inwards. All steps of the process are electro-hydraulically controlled from the remote control box and no damage to the bearing cups or any other part of the wheel and tire are stamped.

What is the Regional Standpoint in Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers Market?

Talking about the commercial aircraft production, at present there are only two well-known players who accounts for majority of the market share. These two players have their regional presence in North America and Western Europe. Airbus and Boeing, the world's only key large passenger aircraft manufacturers, dominate the airline supply industry with their established brands, Boeing's 7-series and Airbus's A-series of jets.

The two companies share almost exclusive control of the worldwide airplane supply business for large commercial jets, which include narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, and jumbo jets. As a result, the aircraft wheel bead breakers market is particularly strong in North America and European region. The market in Asia Pacific is also likely to grow on a positive note owing to emergence of home grown aircrafts in Japan and China with large market for airline operators.

What are the Strategies of Key Players in Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers Market?

Aircraft wheel bead breakers market is dominated by large players such as

• Boeing
• Bauer
• Tolin Design Inc.
• Meyer Hydraulics

The manufacturers of the aircraft wheel bead breakers are making use of technological advancement for improving the existing bead breakers to perform in more efficient and effective manner. They have an ability to foresight and predict the needs & wants of the market and innovate their products accordingly which gave them a competitive advantage over other market players. Large investments in research and development allowed them to stamp a strong footprint in the market.

As an innovation to the industry, on 1st February, 2021, DC Aviation launched its new cutting-edge wheel shop at its Maintenance Center at Stuttgart airport, to offer its customers even more comprehensive services. For now, these will include repair and maintenance of main landing gear wheels and nose gear wheels. In near future, DC Aviation will perform maintenance work in the new wheel shop on the wheels of larger business jets.

Impact of COVID-19 on Aircraft Wheel Bead Breakers market

The outbreak of the COVID-19 has acted as a massive restraint on the use of aircraft wheel bead breakers, and the effect of the pandemic is expected to continue for coming 2-3 years. This is due to the restrictions on trade and movement as a result of lockdown imposed by governments. A disruption in supply chain was seen due to the trade restrictions. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across nations, manufacturers dependent on outsourcing of raw materials had to halt production. However, the aviation industry has started recovering the shock of COVID-19 as the government has allowed several freight operators to continue their operations. In turn, fueling the demand for aircraft wheel bead breakers in near future.
