SIC 3728 - Aircraft Parts And Auxiliary Equipment, Not Elsewhere Classified
Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, not elsewhere classified. This industry also includes establishments owned by manufacturers of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment and primarily engaged in research and development on aircraft parts, whether from enterprise funds or on a contract or fee basis. Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing or assembling complete aircraft are classified in Industry 3721; those manufacturing aircraft engines and parts are classified in Industry 3724; those manufacturing aeronautical instruments are classified in Industry 3812; those manufacturing aircraft engine electrical (aeronautical electrical) equipment are classified in Industry 3694; and those manufacturing guided missile and space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment are classified in Industry 3769. Establishments not owned by manufacturers of aircraft parts but primarily engaged in research and development on aircraft parts on a contract or fee basis are classified in Services, Industry 8731.
Industry trends:
The Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment industry, classified under NAICS 3728, is witnessing several significant qualitative trends. A noteworthy trend is the increasing emphasis on sustainability and the incorporation of green technologies. With growing environmental awareness, manufacturers are developing eco-friendly materials and investing in energy-efficient production processes to reduce carbon footprints. Additionally, the trend towards digitalization continues to shape the industry. Companies are increasingly adopting advanced technologies such as 3D printing, Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics to enhance production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product quality.
Another trend is the surging demand for aftermarket services, including maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), driven by the aging global aircraft fleet and the resultant need for extended operational lifespans. Strategic partnerships and collaborations are also gaining traction, with aerospace companies joining forces to leverage complementary strengths and drive innovation.
Forecasts for the near future predict continued growth propelled by an upsurge in air travel post-pandemic and the consequent rise in aircraft production. This growth is expected to be supported by robust investments in research and development, focusing on next-generation aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Moreover, the shift towards electric and hybrid propulsion systems for aircraft is poised to create new market opportunities.
