Retrofit Avionics Market Sees Strong Sales （改良された既存の航空機器市場に強い販売意識が）

Aircraft owners are making investments in new technology.

飛行機所有者は新技術に投資する。

 

With the 2020 ADS-B Out mandate rapidly approaching, and as more and more aircraft operators are realizing the benefits of advanced cockpit systems, an increasing number of owners are opting to add retrofit avionics systems to their aircraft.

2020年にADS–B（Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast：航空機搭載機器で、現在の位置と高度を発信するシステムです。航空機のカテゴリ情報、対気速度、識別、航空機の旋回、上昇、降下などを発信します。）の導入が法制化される日が急速に近ずいている、さらに、航空機運航者は、進化したコックピットシステムの恩恵を理解し、所有者の多くが近年、所有の飛行機に改良された電子機器を追加する傾向にある。

The Aircraft Electronics Association reported that there was a significant increase in the retrofit market.

航空電子機器協会（AEA）は、レトロフィット(改良型機器)市場に明らかなる増加が見られると報告。
In its 2017 year-end Avionics Market Report, AEA reported a total business and general avionics net sales figure of more than $2.3 billion worldwide.

2017年末の航空機器市場報告(AMR）で、総計でビジネス及び一般航空機器の純販売金額は、全世界で＄2.3Billion越えたと報告している。

This figure includes components and accessories, hardware, batteries and product upgrades, but does not include repairs and overhauls, extended warranties or subscription services.

 この数字は、部品やアクセサリー、機器本体、バッテリー及び製品のアップデートを含み、修理やオーバーホール保証の延期や定期提供サービスは含んでいない。

This is the first time since 2014 that the industry has seen an increase in sales – in this case an uptick of 2.9 percent over 2016.
A total of $1.34 billion in 2017 represented retrofits to airplanes after original production, while $984 million accounted for forward-fit avionics (retrofit avionics installed by the aircraft manufacturer at the time of production). Actual retrofit installations saw an increase in sales of more than 20 percent. The companies that recorded the location of the sales reported that 73.5 percent of the retrofit sales took place in North America.

“Many avionics shops are telling us that aircraft owners are electing to order full-panel avionics upgrades rather than just the ADS-B equipment,” said AEA president Paula Derks. “It will be interesting to see whether the retrofit market continues to grow significantly in the next two years as the mandate draws closer.”
