The aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market was USD 6,270.1 Million in 2024 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 6.3 % during the forecast period

(MENAFN- Navistrat Analytics) 1st July 2025 – The demand for Aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser are increasing owing to rising demand for new aircraft production. Advanced airplane nacelle and thrust reverser technologies are becoming essential, in order to improve fuel efficiency and significantly reduce engine noise.

Aircraft engines may generate noise levels of up to 140 decibels during takeoff. Aircraft nacelles and thrust reversers are perfect for noise reduction. Aviation operators are increasingly using current nacelle and thrust reverser technologies to improve airflow, lowering takeoff noise and satisfying stricter regulatory standards.

Strategic investments in R&D, superior architectural design, noise reduction technologies, and innovative material systems are accelerating up the aviation industry's move to decarbonization. Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 is predicted to create major business opportunities.

A sustained increase in global aviation traffic has significantly fueled demand for new aircraft, accelerate procurements of modern aircraft nacelles and thrust reverser systems. Global aviation traffic climbed 13.6% in 2024 compared to 2023, driven by a 12.8% rise in overall capacity, according to the International aviation Transport Association (IATA).

Rising raw material and component prices have a significant influence on the costs of manufacturing aircraft nacelles and thrust reversers. Attachment fittings, heat-resistant coatings, aluminium, titanium, and composite materials were all required for the development and production of aircraft nacelles and thrust reversers.
