New Market Research Reports Title Global Flight Simulator Market Analysis Size And Segment Forecasts To 2022 Has Been Added to GrandViewResearch.com Report Database
More information: Flight Simulator Market
Increase in rate of air transportation and technological advancements are expected to drive flight simulator market growth over the forecast period. Need for effective pilot training has led to the development of advanced flight simulator. This has helped in better evaluation of pilots and improved aerospace management, which is further expected to drive flight simulator market growth. Advantages of flight simulator in ensuring aircraft safety, ability to reduce fuel costs, and efficient simulation are expected to serve as key driving factors for market growth. However, high degree of complexity in manufacturing and lack of interoperability may restrain flight simulator market growth. Development of privately-owned or independent training centers and commercialization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for the flight simulator market.
Flight simulators find application in military as well as commercial sectors. Military applications are expected to witness substantial growth due to increased terrorist activity and rise in government expenditure in order to strengthen national security. Demand for high level flight skills such as flight handling, flight skill competency, and situational awareness for safety are expected to drive demand for flight simulators in the sector.
North America is expected to dominate the market owing to the presence of a large number of flight simulator providers in the region, especially in Canada. CAE Inc., a Canadian flight simulator provider generated revenue of USD 1.76 billion in 2013. The flight simulator market in Middle East is also expected to witness strong growth due to booming tourism industry in the region.
The market is highly concentrated and characterized by frequent mergers and acquisitions activity. For instance, L-3 Communications acquired the fixed-wing civil flight simulation business of Thales Training & Simulation Ltd. in August 2012, for USD 130 million. Also, Rockwell Collins announced a definitive agreement for acquisition of ARINC Inc., an information and communication processing solution provider in August 2013, for a cash consideration of USD 1.39 billion. The key players in the flight simulator market include CAE Inc., Lockheed Martin, L-3 Communications, Augusta Westland, Rockwell Collins, Thales Training & Simulation Ltd., NGRAIN Corporation, Pacific Simulations Ltd., and Diamond Visionics LLC.
