The "North America Aviation Life Rafts Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Capacity, Type, and Application" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

North America Aviation Life Rafts Market is expected to reach US$ 664.02 million by 2027 from US$ 302.34 million in 2019. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.1 % from 2020 to 2027.

The report provides trends prevailing in the North America aviation life rafts market along with the drivers and restraints pertaining to the market growth. Emphasizing shipment volumes of general aviation aircraft fleet and limited service life of aviation life rafts are the major factor driving the growth of the North America aviation life rafts market. However, cessation of A380 program and no use in domestic flights hinder the growth of North America aviation life rafts market.

In case of COVID-19, North America is highly affected specially the US. Since the US has a larger density of aircraft manufacturers and component manufacturers including life raft manufacturers, the outbreak has severely affected the production of each. The lower number of manufacturing staff has resulted in lesser production quantity. On the other hand, the procurement rate of life rafts among the aircraft manufacturers, the airlines, general aviation aircraft operators, and the military forces have stalled pertaining to the lesser production of aircraft and lesser air travel.

Similarly, the military forces have refrained from procuring the usual quantity of the life raft. Thus, the factors mentioned above have had a negative impact on the aviation life rafts market. On the other hand, the Canadian and Mexican aviation life rafts market is also experiencing slower than usual growth due to the COVID - 19 outbreaks. Several airlines, general aviation aircraft operators, aircraft OEMs, operate in the two countries. The life raft manufacturers in these two countries are experiencing a downfall in production quantities, orders and deliveries, and revenues, which has been negatively affecting the aviation life rafts market
