Aircraft lavatory system consists of toilet assembly, valves, actuators, pipes, tanks, doors & panels, sensors, and others. Lavatory systems differ from aircraft to aircraft based on their class and size. Aircraft lavatories are under continuous innovation to decrease their weight and maintenance costs. Moreover, rising demand from passengers for lavish lavatories is expected to fuel the growth of the market.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Innovative Self-Cleaning Lavatory Components Become Pronounce Due to Increasing Awareness for Hygiene


The aerospace industry has been worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in domestic and international travel demand has changed the dynamic of the industry.



  • According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), international passenger demand (RPK) decreased by 75.6%, and domestic passenger demand decreased by 48.8% in 2020.


Most airlines canceled their aircraft orders due to a deficiency in passenger demand, which will directly affect the market for aircraft lavatory systems.


Moreover, the supply chain is also disrupted owing to the lockdown, which leads to a slowdown in the production of backlog orders.



  • Airbus delivered a total of 566 jets in 2020 as compared to 863 deliveries in 2019.

  • The Boeing Company delivered a total of 157 aircraft in 2020 as compared to 380 deliveries in 2019.


Moreover, the COVID-19 global pandemic has hampered air travel owing to concerns about the COVID-19 virus transmission onboard.  The COVID-19 outbreak has increased the awareness of cleanliness among people. An increase in the development of self-cleaning lavatories for maintaining hygiene and sanitization is expected to spur the growth of the market.


Furthermore, in 2020, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, a sudden decrease in demand for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) was observed. The inventory backlog of MRO will potentially be delivered in upcoming years, thereby increasing the growth of aftermarket.

Innovation and Development of Touch Free Aircraft Lavatories to be the New Trend


The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the market scenario for airlines and the aviation supply chain. The key market players are developing touchless lavatory products to maintain hygiene and ensure the safety of the passengers. The airlines take sanitary precautions by including high-efficiency particulate absorbing HEPA filters, wearing a mask, social distancing, and deep cleaning processes. The touch-free lavatory is expected to be part of the solution set for airlines.


Moreover, the airlines have started installing touch-free lavatory equipment, such as hand sanitizer dispensers, waste bin operated using an infrared sensor, and foot-controlled switch for flushing toilets.


Moreover, major aircraft carriers are stepping up bathroom cleaning routines; Delta Air Lines sanitizes its aircraft lavatories after every flight with electrostatic sprayers. These strong initiatives are driving the lavatories system to a touch-free experience.



  • For Instance, in June 2020, Haeco Americas had launched a foot-powered toilet flush which was in development phase before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is also developing a touch-free way to open the bathroom door.


DRIVING FACTORS


Technological Advancements and Improved Product Capabilities to Boosts the Market Growth


Since the past few decades, the OEMs involved in lavatory and aircraft manufacturing are now focused on improving cabin comfort, including seats and lavatory, for a hassle-free passenger experience.


Airlines achieve higher revenues through significant cost savings and improved aircraft operation fitted with modern commercial lavatory solutions, such as vacuum toilets, waste and water components, oxygen systems and LED lighting.


The key players in the market are constantly working on making the lavatory system modular and allowing a piece-level disassembly in seconds. The modular lavatories also simplify maintenance and reduce aircraft downtime. Thus, the continuous effort and increased R&D to improve product capabilities will boost the market growth in the forthcoming years.


For instance, Collin aerospace has developed an agile vacuum toilet. This toilet can benefit airlines with increased reliability, lower weight and a lower total cost of ownership. This lavatory system was designed with feedback from airlines and maintenance personnel. Moreover, the agile toilet is the first product that significantly reduces operating costs and superior performance. This toilet is designed to directly replace the OEM vacuum toilets on the B737, B747, B757, B767, B777, and A320 aircraft.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Shutting Down Production of the Commercial Jumbo-jets to Hinder Market Growth


The two commercial jumbo-jets, Boeing 747 and Airbus A380, are being eliminated by some airlines as the coronavirus outbreak has reduced the demand for the four-engine planes. These aircraft were double the size of a normal jetliner and had more seats and lavatories for a hassle-free experience for passengers.


The Airbus A380 alone had 15 lavatories, and Boeing 747 had 8 to 10 lavatories depending upon the customer’s need. Boeing announced that it is ending the 747 production line in 2022. The company announced that the last four 747s would be sold to Atlas Air Worldwide freight operator. Furthermore, Airbus just delivered its last A380 to emirates. For Instance, Airbus has delivered the last A380 to Emirates Airlines.


Though these planes will remain in service for decades to come, not least because the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for air freight but won’t be carrying passengers. Therefore, shutting down the production of these big jets will hamper the market in terms of revenue and growth.
