The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with aircraft hangar experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of 10.34% in 2020 as compared to 2019.


Aircraft hangars are used to store and protect aircraft from adverse weather conditions. Several other operations such as MRO, engine inspections and other fixtures also take place inside a hangar. Hangars are custom made and are designed taking into consideration the type of aircraft, the purpose of the hangar, and its location and costs. Hangars may be of fixed construction type or portable. The inflatable portable hangars are seeing rising popularity due to their ease of installation, shorter set up time, and lower costs.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Disruption in Aerospace Supply Chains Hindered Growth during the Pandemic


The pandemic resulted in sudden drop in air traffic due to travel restrictions and a reduced demand for air travel due to global measures to contain the virus. This has negatively affected the demand in the aviation sector and the market dynamics. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated limitations disrupted the aviation industry's supply chain and made it difficult to build new hangars in many locations due to these restrictions. Businesses felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the global economic slump and political unrest. Declining consumer confidence and customer spending had a detrimental impact on the market, affecting the stability of the credit and financial markets.


Due to disruptions in supply chains at different locations, major construction corporations, related to airport authorities and national governments and agencies remodified or canceled their programs due to the pandemic. This negatively affected the aviation industry and hampered airport development projects. To keep and grow their client base, many businesses, such as AECOM Corporation, concentrated on strategic alliances, mergers, and acquisitions. COVID-19 outbreak resulted in travel bans and a halt in constructions in several countries, resulting in reduction in opportunities for development of hangars.

Increasing Demand for Inflatable, Portable Hangars is a Prominent Trend in the Market


The rising airport initiatives in developing countries are driving the demand for advanced Hangars that can be built in a shorter time compared to traditionally constructed hangars. Such hangars also result in lesser cost of installation.



  • For instance, Hyderabad in India recently got its first inflatable hangar installed at its international airport. It is the largest such project in Asia so far and has been set up in a short period of time. Such hangars have been found to have utility in emerging economies of Asia Pacific region such as India and China where increasing passenger traffic demand has been anticipated.


With advancement in inflatable technology and the use of technical textiles, inflatable hangars have found their utilization for all kinds of aircraft from commercial, military, drones, private jets and general aviation aircraft. These hangars are sustainable and can resist adverse weather conditions.


The key players involved in the market and major airports around the world are focusing on innovative solutions, which have helped to foster a creative environment for the development of cost-effective initiatives to be rolled out across the global network.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Demand for Modernization of Airport Infrastructure across the World to Propel Market Growth


The recent reports and estimates of ICAO suggest that the global rise in demand for air transport will increase by an average of 4.3% per annum in the next 18-20 years. In light of the increase in air traffic, the infrastructure needs of airports will need innovation and upgradation. Hence, several nations have undertaken new airport construction projects while some have focused on modernization of existing infrastructure. As per IATA estimates, USD 1.2-1.5 trillion are expected to be spent on airport infrastructure development up to 2030.


With rise in funding for airports, many hangar construction contracts have been signed in emerging economies such as China and India.



  • In May 2022, Delhi’s International airport inaugurated India’s first dedicated General Aviation Hangar. These hangars can serve business jets and general aviation aircraft and can accommodate 6-8 of them at a time.


According to data from the Center of Aviation (CAPA), there are about 633 airport modernization projects at existing airports globally and the approximate aggregate investment value of these projects is expected to be USD 565.7 Billion. These investments also include projects for terminal modernizations, creation of new hangars, and others. This investment will drive the demand for hangars globally.


Increasing Demand for Inflatable Hangars to Drive Growth of the Market


In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for portable hangars. Such hangars take less time in being set up and cost less than conventional hangars. The advent of technical textiles and high performance fabrics has led to the demand for use of inflatable hangars. Such hangars use fabrics that are strong enough to bear harsh conditions but are light in weight.


The problems associated with finding a hangar for unscheduled maintenance have led to increase the demand for inflatable hangars. These hangars reduce downtime to a minimum as compared to a conventional hangar building. Portable inflatable hangars have found their utility due to the fact that the construction of a conventional hangar takes more than 18 months, while inflatable hangars can be installed in a period of 3 to 4 months.





    • In February 2021, GMR Aero Technic installed a new inflatable hangar at the Hyderabad airport in India. This hangar will be used for multiple purposes including unscheduled or scheduled maintenance, engine replacement and landing gear replacements.




RESTRAINING FACTORS


Large Capital Expenditure and Funding Required for Longer Time Periods to Hamper Growth


Hangar projects are mostly a part of airport modernization or construction projects. Several airport projects take approximately 6 to 9 years for completion. New buildings or modifications to existing buildings on airports require an approval from the FAA. Such hangars need to be in accordance with city building codes according to building permits. These airport projects also require high capital investment and get constructed and completed in phases. Delays in funding or regulatory approvals cause resulting delays in hangar projects due to its dependence on approvals and funding.


The COVID-19 pandemic has further delayed projects and caused funding bottlenecks in several projects.



  • In the U.K., Farnborough airport has started construction of a new airport facility for next generation business aircraft. The project is estimated to start with an investment of USD 75.47 million. The construction is expected to be completed in 75 weeks for the hangar.

  • Sangley Point International airport in the Philippines is undertaking the construction of an international airport at a cost of USD 10 billion over two phases. It will also include the construction of aircraft hangars.


As the hangar market is dependent on several factors such as government regulations, associated construction costs, and funding, a delay in any of these factors affects the market negatively.
