Attitude and Heading Reference System Market Size
Attitude and Heading Reference System Market size was over USD 330 million in 2018 and is projected to show about 4.5% CAGR during 2019 to 2025.
To obtain key market trends
While pilots navigate the skies, accuracy and reliability are increasingly becoming important. This is why Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) are increasingly being used in the aviation sector. AHRS are mini-navigators, providing pilots with real-time knowledge of their aircraft’s position and orientation. They’re small and light weight, so they can easily be fitted to small airplanes, business jets, and even military unmanned aerial vehicles. They’re also self-compensating, allowing them to correct any error that may arise. They’re also friendly to other navigational aids such as GPS and air data computers. This makes them critical for military and UAV operations, where accuracy and situational awareness are key.

What are the growth opportunities in this market?
Emergence of next-generation technologies such as micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) that provide cost-efficient alternatives to OEMs will drive market penetration. These enable OEMs to substitute conventional gyro-based systems with improved performance and lightweight MEMS. Moreover, advancements in digital signal processors are further improving the accuracy in AHRS by eliminating the temperature sensitive drifts and rotation errors and thereby fueling the attitude and heading reference system market demand.

Growing use of several rate gyros to capture angular aircraft motion in combination with sophisticated accelerometers to capture aircraft linear motion will drive market penetration. The improved functionality of these products allows flight operators to minimize the line replaceable units (LRU), wiring, weight and power requirement, facilitating the industry growth during the study period. For example, in May 2018, AIEC Switzerland began a program for the installation of the Universal Avionics (UA) AHS-525 AHRS on two Learjet 35 aircraft, thus offering a favorable forecast for the attitude and heading reference system market share up to 2025.
Decreasing system accuracy due to growing sensor noise and drift could limit the attitude and heading reference system market growth during the study period. Further, interferences induced to the accelerometers due to vibration and others such as gravity, noise, and other extraneous forces can limit the business penetration up to 2025. Industry participants are coming up with innovative light weight and more reliable solutions for designing such systems.
Attitude and Heading Reference System Market Analysis
Discover more about the dominant segments influencing this market
Fixed wing AHRS segment will see high use of AHRS due to its rising demand for general aviation aircraft. AHRS is widely applied for navigation in general aviation aircraft like business jets, turboprops, and piston engines due to its much smaller and lighter size. The product is also seeing rising demand from fighter jet OEMs due to its enhanced precision navigational capabilities.
The UAV attitude and heading reference system will maintain a strong revenue share during the forecast period. Growing use of UAVs in defense due to the small size and capability of performing across multiple ranges is driving the segment growth during the forecast period. In addition, the feature of these UAVs entering areas, which are unsafe for pilots, is also driving the segment growth until 2025.
The ADAHRS attitude and heading reference system market will increase notably during the study period. ADAHRS add more data to pilot like airspeed, altitude, Mach number and outside air temperature. The segment is seeing high usage in the fixed-wing military and rotary aircraft which will drive the market growth during the forecast period. For example, in February 2017, Archangel Systems’ AHR150A ADAHRS was chosen by Bell Helicopter V-280 Valor tiltrotor military program for the U.S. Army.
The GPS AHRS is experiencing high adoption due to growing use of these systems for positioning and navigational capabilities. Players in the industry are introducing sophisticated systems to offer extensive solutions with better accuracy and positioning, boosting the attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) market growth during the forecast period. For example, Sparton introduced an inertial navigation system with SAASM GPS integration in October 2019. The system comprises low power INS offering precise navigation including attitude, longitude, pitch, and velocity.
The gyroscope unit segment accounts for a dominant proportion in the market for AHRS. It is a key device of AHRS that deliver a stable angular rate measurement. Furthermore, technology enhancements such as introduction of the optic gyroscope and ring laser system will contribute largely to the expansion of the industry during the predicted period.
Accelerometer will have a major contribution in the attitude and heading reference system market space due to its need for delivering quality initial attitude reference as well as the flexibility of providing the provision for attitude corrections in a flight journey. Furthermore, improvements in accelerometers with better quality and low power ASIC for facilitating signal conditioning will also support the revenue generation up to 2025.
