Aircraft Heat Exchanger Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Aircraft Heat Exchanger Market is expected to reach USD 3276.17 million by 2031 with CAGR of 6.8 % between 2025 and 2031

Heat exchanger is a piece of a machine which is built for resourceful heat transfer from one medium to another. In simple words, heat exchangers are fundamental tools which transfer heat from one medium to another. In the aviation engineering, they are especially used for reducing the temperatures of the fuel and thus increasing the efficiency of the aircraft engines. Aircraft heat exchangers are commonly used to cool hydraulics, RAM air, auxiliary power units, gearboxes, etc. The most commonly use heat exchanges in aviation are the flat tube and the plate-fin heat exchangers. Both heat exchangers are engineered for high performance with poor heat transfer fluids such as oils and ethylene glycol solutions for efficient cooling.  

Plate-fin heat exchangers are made from finned passages and are separated by flat plates and have a unique internal pattern to maximize heat transfer. They give the best performance to-weight ratio and are applicable for air-to-air, air-to-liquid or liquid-to-liquid cooling. Flat tube heat exchanger consists of several flat tubes that come with multiple extended surface outlets within each tube. In flat tube heat exchangers, the fins are typically vacuum-brazed between each flat tube and it is used to form a passage for the second fluid. These flat tube designs provides lower cost alternative to plate-fin designs. Both these type of heat exchangers are vacuum-based for ‘rugged-ization’.  

Geographically, Global Aircraft Heat Exchanger Market is segmented into several areas- North America, Europe, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and India. At present North America shares largest market for Aircraft Heat Exchanger followed by Europe because of significant increase in deliveries of commercial aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles in the US and Canada. The fastest growing market for aramid fibers over the forecast period is expected to be Asia Pacific because of the rising demand for commercial aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. China and India are projected to propel the demand for the product over the forecast period due to increasing air traffic.
