High Demand for Digital and Bluetooth Enabled Active Noise Reduction Headsets to Accelerate Market Growth


Recently, the new digital noise reduction (DNR) aviation headset is the elevated ANR aviation headset version which facilitates features such as Bluetooth connectivity, extreme comfort, advanced microphone, lightweight among others. DNR aerospace headsets process the surrounding noise to reduce it to safe levels. It utilizes external microphones to gauge the noise in the external environment. Enhanced noise reduction can be achieved through more external microphones for better clarity in the communication during flight. Also, the high adoption rate of wireless communication systems and its components has fueled the demand for the Bluetooth aviation headsets.


DRIVING FACTORS


High Demand for Active Noise Reduction Headsets to Propel Market Growth


The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation has adversely impacted the market share of the aviation market. Therefore, the market has witnessed the grounding of the aircraft fleets of airliners worldwide. It also reduced the hiring of the new pilots by the airline operators. The factors such as rising fleet of helicopters, military aviation fleet expansion worldwide, and rise in the recreational activities requirement are the factors influencing the demand for active noise reduction headsets. For instance, David Clark Company produces DC PRO-2 Series headsets in both variants such as active and passive aviation headsets and comes with a dedicated headset bag.


Growing Demand in Business and Military Aviation to Impact Market Growth Post 2022


The increment in the cross-border disputes, anti-terror operations, and the expansion of army aviation as a part of army modernization worldwide are other influencing factors for the market growth. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the nature of air travel, worldwide travel restrictions, social distancing norms and high demand for business aviation. This development has impacted the demand worldwide. In November 2020, according to CAE, Canadian training and simulator provider, despite mass pilot lay-offs, the global commercial aviation will require an estimated 27,000 new pilots in 2021 and 264,000 in the upcoming decade.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Integration of Aircraft Autopilot System to Impact New Pilot Recruitment and Restrain Market Growth


The rise in the level of automation of the aircraft flight management system such as the aircraft autopilot system, as the airline operators are relying on the increased rate of the aircraft automation for their aircraft fleets. This development is anticipated to impact on the new pilot recruitment by the airline operators globally. Also, the headsets are highly complex and is required to meet the minimum performance standards by regional aviation agencies. This requirement impacts on the costing of airborne platform-based headsets which restrain the aviation headsets market growth.
