Demand Analysis of Hydrant Dispensers from 2016 to 2020 Vs Market Projections for 2021 to 2031  

As per Fact.MR’s report, between 2016 and 2020, sales of hydrant dispensers accelerated at a CAGR of 4%. Surging air travel and high frequency of flights are driving demand for larger fleets and more reliable fuelling facilities in the commercial sector. Over the forecast period, airport infrastructure of developed and matured economies is likely to contribute to substantial demand for aviation fuel hydrant dispensers.

On the other hand, military aviation acts as a fuelling factor for the market, which allows for effective and fast deployment of aircraft in emergency situations. Over the forecast period, demand for ready-to-deploy equipment that improves operating capability is expected to drive market development.

The global hydrant dispensers market is expected to expand at a CAGR of more than 5% by garnering US$ 16.3 Bn over the forecast period, due to the factors listed above.

Versatility Playing Key Role for Increasing Demand of Hydrant Dispensers?

Conventional methods of fuelling through fuel trucks are associated with frequent truck movement between aircraft and fuel storage tanks. This results in increased time and fuel consumption. Also, these trucks carry limited amount of fuel at the back, which results in low-speed hauling and limited supply.

Due to their large size, these trucks are parked away from the main action sites. On other hand, airport hydrant dispensers are small in size and specific in nature. These units can be deployed fast and swiftly on ground. Hydrant infrastructure at airports ensure continuous flow and availability of fuel.

Varied options of hydrant dispensers are offered by manufacturers for end-use customers. GPMs offered in product are according to the size of the aircraft and fuel capacity. Versatility of towable and self-propelled hydrant dispensers allows customers to choose the units that best suit their needs and operating conditions.

Different Size of Airports Augmenting Growth for Hydrant Dispensing Technology?

As per the study conducted, there are two main factors identified that can be used as indicators for constructing fuel hydrant systems and deployment of hydrant dispensers. Though these are not binding and various other factors can be kept into consideration by airports.

The first factor could be aircraft movement per year from the airport or aircraft frequency. This can be considered, as high frequency enables the requirement of fast-refuelling so that aircraft turnaround time can be minimized.

The other factor that can be taken into consideration is the fuel uplift at a particular airport. Airports that deal with huge amounts of fuel uplift require hydrant systems and hydrant dispensers. This, in turn, is increasing the demand for hydrant dispensers at airports.

Region-wise Analysis

Busy Airports Boosting Demand for Hydrant Dispensers in North America?

Rich heritage of the country in technological research & development has provided a great advantage to its market. The United States holds a big share of large- and medium-size airports. Number of busiest airports as per flight frequency and air passenger traffic is the highest in the country.

This lays the opportunity for fast and efficient fuelling infrastructure. Similarly, the country operates the largest number of military aircraft, which, in turn, is driving demand for hydrant dispensers and aviation refuelling equipment from this sector.

Thus, North America is the consummate market with an expected value of around US$ 42.6 Mn in 2021 and is expected to inflate at a CAGR of more than 4% through 2031.

Improving Airport Infrastructure Propelling Demand for Hydrant Dispensers in Asia?

Demand for aviation hydrant dispensers in China is expected to rise at an unprecedented rate over the forecast period. China, known as the “factory of the world”, is likely to gain growth over prominent developed regions due to increasing airport infrastructure development in the country in order to cater to its booming aviation sector. Increasing middle-class families and rising disposable income are fuelling demand for air travel.

Military spending along with these mentioned factors are all contributing to the country's growing aviation industry, which is paving the way for hydrant dispenser suppliers.In order to achieve greater connectivity throughout its varying topography, India has experienced magnificent development in its airport infrastructure during the last decade. In turn, this has improved its logistical and trade capabilities. On similar grounds, the country is investing heavily in improving its airpower capabilities in order to counter its adversaries.

In addition, existing airports across the country are seeing capacity expansion in order to fulfil growing air passenger demand. Furthermore, government policies such as Make in India and Aatmnirbhar Bharat have led to rising demand for manufacturing setups within the country, resulting in rising hydrant dispenser sales.

Thus, Asia is set to unleash bronzer growth of close to 6% CAGR, owing to increasing middle-class families, growing per capita income, and skyrocketing investments in modern airport infrastructure.

Category-wise Insights

Widespread Use of Technology Helping Growth of 450 GPM – 850 GPM Engines?

Hydrant dispensers of 450 GPM – 850 GPM are likely to witness high demand. This expansion is aided by the widespread use of this technology in both, commercial and military aircraft.

Furthermore, due to their wide spread use in both, narrow- and wide-body aircraft in the aviation sector, the segment is expected to gain good momentum over the coming years. Thus, according to Fact.MR, 450 GPM – 850 GPM engines are expected to accumulate 40% revenue for hydrant dispensers in the forecast period.

Zero Emission Agenda to Bolster Demand for Electrically Powered Hydrant Dispensers?

Electrically powered hydrant dispensers are presumed to witness exponential growth over the forecast period. Currently, prominent countries are deploying their knowledge pool and resources to achieve global net zero emissions.

This is likely to bolster demand for hydrant dispensers across these regions. Owing to their clean energy benefits and lower maintenance, electric hydrant dispensers have gained immense prominence. Thus, electrically powered hydrant dispensers are expected to procure nearly more than 35% market share in the upcoming assessment period 2021-2031.

Easy Maintenance Attracting Consumers to Adapt IC Engine-powered Hydrant Dispensers?
