AEA Issues Second Quarter 2013
Avionics Market Report

Industry Total Avionics Sales Amount to More Than $1.6 Billion
The Aircraft Electronics Association recently announced its second
quarter Avionics Market Report for this
year. In the months of April, May and
June 2013, total worldwide avionics sales
amounted to $1,620,201,160.49, or more
than $1.6 billion, as reported by the 20
aviation electronics manufacturers participating in the report.
The extent of the quarterly report simply is one total number: the collective
sales figure - both forward-fit and retrofit
- for the current time period, as received
from the participating manufacturers.
The dollar amount (using net sales
price, not manufacturer's suggested
retail price) includes: all aircraft electronic sales - including all component
and accessories in cockpit/cabin/software upgrades/portables/noncertified
aircraft electronics; all hardware (tip to
tail); batteries; and chargeable product
upgrades from the participating manufacturers. The amount does not include
repairs and overhauls, extended warranty
or subscription services.
The second quarter sales were 5 percent less than what was reported in the
first quarter 2013 report, which amounted
to $1,706,006,894.49, or more than $1.7
billion.
"Although there was a slight decrease
in the amount of sales compared to the
first quarter of this year, the industry is
still on pace to outperform the total yearend sales from 2012, which amounted to
more than $6.3 billion," said Paula Derks,
president of the AEA. "It's important to
remember that the AEA Avionics Market
Report is still in its first year of existence,
and it has not had the opportunity to gather and report a complete year's worth of
data on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
"However, as we move forward in time
and the report evolves into its second and
third phases, we certainly will be better

able to analyze and compare current sales
against the same time period from previous years.
"I expect the report eventually will
reveal the impact of seasonal and economic trends as well as upcoming equipment mandates, among other things in the
years ahead."
History and Background Information:
The AEA first introduced its Avionics
Market Report March 26, 2013, during the 56th annual AEA International
Convention & Trade Show in Las
Vegas, Nev. During the event's Opening
Ceremonies, the association reported the
total year-end international avionics sales
for 2012 amounted to $6,279,317,197.54,
or nearly $6.3 billion.
The recent announcement marks the
second quarterly report following the
initial announcement in March.
In addition, the first year of reporting
also will establish a baseline to compare
future total avionics sales against the
same time period the previous year.
The concept to produce the AEA
Avionics Market Report began in April
2012, when the AEA formed an ad hoc
committee comprised of representatives
of avionics manufacturers to solicit input
on a new benefit for the AEA membership and general aviation industry.

The AEA Avionics Market Report will
continue to expand and provide greater
detail in future reports. For example, it
eventually will report not only the total
dollar amount of worldwide sales for
the current time period, but it also will
report both certified and noncertified aircraft electronics units sold. In addition,
the report will be enhanced to include
dividing the numbers into domestic and
international sales, fixed-wing versus
rotorcraft, airplane categories and subscription sales.
"Never before has there been a true
capture of the dollar size of the general
aviation electronics market," said Paula
Derks, AEA president, when the AEA
Avionics Market Report was unveiled
last March. "Not only will this report
be useful to our membership in strategic
planning and examining market share,
but it will be valuable information to promote our industry to the aviation community, investors, and most importantly,
when informing our elected officials of
the value of the industry to the global
economy."
To ensure confidentiality, the participating manufacturing companies submit
their overall avionics sales figure to an
independent third-party accounting firm
retained to produce the AEA Avionics
Market Report. The companies currently participating in the report include:
Accord Technology; Aircell; Anodyne
Electronics Manufacturing Corp.;
Aspen Avionics; BendixKing; Cobham
(Mineral Wells); Cool City Avionics;
FreeFlight Systems; Garmin; Honeywell
Business & General Aviation; ICG;
Jupiter Avionics; Latitude Technologies;
L-3 Aviation Products; Mid-Continent
Instruments and Avionics; Rockwell
Collins; Sandia Aerospace; Shadin
Avionics; Trig Avionics and Universal
Avionics Systems Corp. q
