Silicon-carbide driver shortages extend delivery timelines in mid-2026
Aircraft Lighting Market 2025 to 2032: LED Transition, Certification Complexity and the Global Supply Rewiring →What Changed
A specialized component shortage involving aerospace-grade LED drivers, heavily driven by limited silicon-carbide capacity, is tightening the supply chain. This has forced some airline operators to stockpile components, tying up working capital and raising total installation costs. While industry capacity expansions are scheduled throughout 2026, intermittent shortages are expected to crimp near-term installation volumes.
