Massive 14,000+ aircraft backlog strains narrow-body landing gear production capacity

Aircraft Landing Gear Market 2025 to 2032: Supply Constraints, Backlog Economics and the Titanium Shock →

What Changed

Global commercial order backlogs exceed 14,000 to 17,000 aircraft across Airbus and Boeing, creating intense production pressure on landing gear integrators. High production targets, such as Airbus ramping toward 75 A320s per month and Boeing building toward 47 737 MAX units monthly, are causing cascading delays down through sub-tier landing gear component manufacturers. This sustained demand pulls structural forgings and sub-assembly orders far ahead of scheduled airframe delivery dates.

Recommended Actions 1

Lock in long-term capacity reservations with primary Tier-1 landing gear integrators

Multi-year capacity agreements protect delivery slots against OEM schedule adjustments and buffer against sub-tier component bottlenecks.
