Global Connected Aircraft market trends 2024, Forecast To 2033
1 Mar, 2024
The connected aircraft market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.82 billion in 2023 to$7.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to demand for operational efficiency, enhanced safety and situational awareness, rise in air passenger traffic, fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, government regulations and standards, increased aircraft complexity. The connected aircraft market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.45 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to next-gen air traffic management, demand for in-flight connectivity, predictive maintenance and health monitoring, smart cabin solutions, integration with ground operations, urban air mobility (UAM) expansion, green aviation initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of in-flight connectivity, integration of IoT technologies, enhanced aircraft health monitoring, digitalization of cockpit and cabin systems, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity concerns.
Global Connected Aircraft Market Key Driver
An increase in air passenger travel is expected to propel the growth of the connected aircraft market going forward. Air travel refers to the process of boarding an aircraft for the purpose of travelling from one location to another by any flying object. The increase in air passenger travel is resulting in airline companies making the addition of aircraft to their fleets to cater to the needs of the air passengers. For instance, in February 2023, according to the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based trade association data, the revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, representing total traffic in 2022 increased by 64.4% over 2021. Compared to 2021, international traffic increased by 152.7% in 2022. In 2022, domestic traffic increased by 10.9% over the previous year. Therefore, the increase in air passenger travel is driving the growth of the connected aircraft market. In 2023, the connected aircraft market size stood at $5.6 billion, and it is anticipated to grow to $12.3 billion by 2028.
