The iot in aerospace & defense market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the IoT in aerospace & defense market size has seen significant expansion. The growth is expected to continue with the market value moving from $55.42 billion in 2024 to $63.57 billion in 2025, realizing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include the need for enhanced connectivity and communication, the increasing requirement for predictive maintenance, escalations in threats and security issues, the drive for cost reduction and operational efficiency, and the presence of regulatory support and compliance.
The IoT in Aerospace & Defense market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the IoT in aerospace & defense market is anticipated to witness significant expansion. It is projected to escalate to $112.42 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%.
This growth in the predicted period can be ascribed to factors such as heightened focus on cybersecurity, surge in autonomous systems, emphasis on fleet administration, advancements in peripheral computing, and the assimilation of 5g networks. The projected period will likely see prominent trends like advancements in IoT sensors and connectivity, swift adoption of peripheral computing, enhanced focus on cybersecurity, incorporation of AI and machine learning as well as developments in IoT sensors and connectivity, and a highlight on predictive upkeep.
The IoT in the aerospace and defense market is projected to experience growth due to rising cyber-attacks on the aviation industry. Cyberattacks are unauthorized attempts made to access computer systems with the aim of stealing, altering, deactivating, or destroying information. To combat this, IoT authentication in the aviation industry can offer necessary cybersecurity measures, thereby reducing the rate of these attacks. For instance, the Australian Cyber Security Centre recorded 76,000 cybercrime reports in 2022, reflecting a nearly 13% increase from the financial year prior, as reported in February 2023. Consequently, the escalating cyber-attacks on the aviation sector are fuelling the growth of the IoT in the aerospace and defense market.
