The Aircraft Nacelle And Thrust Reverser Market has seen substantial growth in the past few years. Consider the following details:
• The market size expanded from $3.29 billion in 2024 to $3.63 billion in 2025, showcasing a robust CAGR of 10.4%.
The progression can be attributed to a surge in aircraft production, regulatory compliance, fleet modernization, and an increase in passenger and cargo traffic due to geopolitical factors.
The aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market is poised for potent growth in the coming years. Here is the projected growth:
• The market size is expected to reach $5.2 billion in 2029, charting a steady CAGR of 9.4%.
The expansion in the forecast period is driven by a rise in defense budgets, developments in electric aircraft, recovery of air travel, and a growing environmental conscience. Key trends include the integration of electric and hybrid propulsion, digital twins and simulation, integrated systems, innovation in thrust reversers, and noise reduction.
The growth of the aviation industry due to the rapid global transportation network, economic growth, job creation, rising income, and facilitation of international trade and tourism has led to an increase in the purchase of aircraft, thus escalating the demand for aircraft nacelle and thrust reversers. For instance, in June 2022, Air India signified its intent to order 300 narrow-body jets—a massive order worth $40.5 billion in commercial aviation history—which will further stimulate the market growth.
