The emergence of a new line of light and personal business jets will significantly impact avionics market mix over the next five years.

Major players such as Rockwell Collins or Thales have not engaged into the lower end of this emerging market based on their limited abilities to compete on cost. New levels of avionics performance for single pilot aircraft are derived from these new products.

However, some doubts remain as to the ability of conducting single pilot operations in high altitude airways. Growth will be moderate as prices of these new avionics suites remain low compared with other advanced avionics systems such as ProLine, Primus Epic or EASy.

Consolidation is expected to continue at the second tier of the market, with Tier one players seeking to expand their business activities in adjacent market segments where current core competencies can be leveraged
