What Are The Estimated Market Size And Expected Annual Growth Rates For Global Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market?
The maritime patrol aircraft market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for maritime patrol aircraft is likely to experience substantial growth in the next few years, escalating to "$24.09 billion in 2029" with an annual compound growth rate of 6.4%.
Factors like increased usage of unmanned systems, worldwide growth of offshore assets, arctic scrutiny, environmental tracking, and anti-drone capabilities are considered as responsible for the growth in the coming period. Significant trends in the upcoming period will be the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), unified network-centric warfare, advanced sensor technologies, extended range and endurance, along with collaboration and joint operations.
Which Key Drivers Are Propelling The Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market's Growth?
The increase in global threats and acts of terror are projected to fuel the expansion of the maritime patrol aircraft market. Global threats and terrorism encompass acts of aggression or coercion carried out by individuals or collectives with political, social, or religious objectives. Maritime patrol aircraft find their applications in numerous warfare situations including search and rescue, anti-submarine warfare, and anti-surface unit warfare. For example, according to the Institute for Economics & Peace, a global peace index-creating organization based in Sydney, the severity of terrorist attacks escalated globally in 2022, with an average of 1.7 deaths per attack, up from 1.3 deaths per attack in the previous year, recorded in March 2023. As such, the escalating global threats and acts of terror are acting as a catalyst for the growth of the maritime patrol aircraft market.
