The commercial avionics systems market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for commercial avionics systems has seen significant growth in the past few years. It is estimated to rise from $31.62 billion in 2024 to reach $33.7 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%.
This surge during the historic period can be credited to modernization of aircraft, adherence to regulatory demands, improvements in communication systems, the need for fuel-efficient solutions, automation and independence, along with heightened passenger expectations.
The commercial avionics systems market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, a significant increase is anticipated in the commercial avionics systems market. The market is projected to expand to a value of $43.62 billion by 2029, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
Several factors, including issues related to cybersecurity, environmental regulations, condition-based and remote maintenance, the recovery of international air travel, and advancement in urban air mobility, drive this growth forecast. The market trends expected in the forecast period include the emergence of next-gen avionics platforms, the development of autonomous flight technologies, the introduction of electric and hybrid aircraft, improvements in in-flight entertainment systems, the adoption of satellite navigation systems, and the incorporation of health monitoring and predictive maintenance.
The commercial avionics systems market is anticipated to expand due to a predicted rise in the number of airline passengers. Avionic systems, which include electronic aspects such as communication, navigation, display and management of various systems, and other features, are utilized in aircraft. These systems enhance the operation of aircraft possibly leading to a rise in passenger numbers. For example, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US government agency, reported that in 2022, airlines in the United States transported 853 million passengers, a significant increase from the 658 million passengers in 2021. Thus, the surge in airline passengers number is fueling the growth of the commercial avionics systems market.
