Market Definition
An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is a type of navigation system that provides information about the orientation of an aircraft or other vehicle in three-dimensional space. AHRS uses a combination of sensors, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, to measure the aircraft's angular velocity, acceleration, and magnetic field to determine its pitch, roll, and yaw angles. AHRS is a crucial component of modern aircraft avionics and is used to provide essential flight information to pilots, autopilots, and other systems. It is particularly useful in situations where traditional gyroscopic instruments may be unreliable, such as during turbulence or in low visibility conditions. AHRS technology has become increasingly sophisticated over the years, with modern systems incorporating advanced algorithms and sensor fusion techniques to improve accuracy and reduce errors.
Asia-Pacific Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- Advancement in technology
There is continuous advancement in micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology which is estimated to provide a boost to the growth of the Asia-Pacific attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) market. This advancement transformed the navigational industry at a higher stage. Advancements in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) sensor technology is having a significant impact on the attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market. The smaller size of sensors and reduced power consumption enhanced the capabilities of MEMS sensors. Also, the weight of the latest MEMS sensors has reduced so far as compared to older gyroscope technology sensors. MEMS sensors are more reliable and more accurate as compared to older gyroscope sensors. Also, the capability and durability of MEMS sensors is higher as compared to older gyroscopes.
- Increasing demand for AHRS in aviation
There is continuously increasing demand for attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) in aviation due to several factors, such as it provides prominent safety for the aircraft and giving precise navigational readings. AHRS can be combined with other systems, like GPS, to deliver more correct and complete information about an aircraft's position and movement. This allows pilots to navigate more proficiently and accurately, mainly in areas with poor visibility or challenging terrain. MEMS-based AHRS systems are smaller and lighter than older gyroscopic systems, which decreases the weight of the aircraft. This is predominantly important in aviation, where weight is a critical factor. The growth in air travel has led to increased demand for AHRS systems, particularly in commercial aviation. As more aircraft are put into service, the demand for AHRS is expected to continue to grow. This increasing demand for aircraft and air travel is expected to drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) market.
Opportunity
- Increasing investment in space exploration
Attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) are used widely in the space industry for a range of applications. AHRS are utilized to define the orientation, position, and velocity of spacecraft, rockets, and other space vehicles. AHRS are used in space vehicles to deliver precise measurements of attitude and heading, which are critical for controlling and maneuvering the vehicle. AHRS can also be used for navigation and to assist with docking and rendezvous measures. Moreover, AHRS are used in space telescopes and other scientific instruments to make stable their pointing direction and to compensate for spacecraft motion. This is crucial for collecting accurate scientific measurements. Hence, AHRS are an important technology in the space industry and plays a significant role in the success of many space missions. Increasing demand for AHRS in the space industry and increasing investment in space exploration is expected to be a better opportunity for the growth of Asia-Pacific attitude and heading reference system market.
Restraint/Challenge
- High cost of AHRS system
Attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) can be relatively expensive, particularly compared to traditional gyroscopic systems. Moreover, the cost of AHRS has been raised in recent years as the technology has become more widespread and as manufacturers have found ways to produce AHRS at lower costs due to certain features such as complexity, sensor technology, manufacturing cost, and certification, the price of AHRS has risen significantly.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the Asia-Pacific attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) market on an Asia-Pacific scale. As the aviation industry is closely linked with AHRS, the reduced demand for air travel has severely impacted this market. Consequently, the demand for AHRS components has witnessed a considerable decline. Many airlines have either suspended their operations or reduced them, leading to a decline in orders for new aircraft and its components.
Moreover, the supply chain for AHRS components has also been disturbed by the pandemic. This disruption has caused delays in production and shipping, leading to extended lead times and increased costs. The imposition of travel restrictions and lockdowns has further reduced the ability of manufacturers to carry out on-site installation and maintenance of AHRS components.
However, as the aviation industry gradually recovers, it is anticipated that the demand for AHRS components will increase gradually. Additionally, advancements in technology and the increasing need for automation in aircraft operations may create new opportunities for AHRS manufacturers in the future.
