Aircraft Design and Engineering Market size was valued at 34.2 Billion in 2022. The Aircraft Design and Engineering industry is projected to grow 54.6 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.70% during the forecast period (2022 - 2032).
Aircraft design and engineering refers to the designing aircraft components such as engine, wings, fuselage, tail, nose, landing gear, and pylon. These components are designed using software such as computer-aided design (CAD). It also involves optimizing existing aircraft design to increase efficiency. Aircraft engineering is the manufacturing of aircraft components as per the design. Various factors are involved in aircraft engineering such as analysis, testing and validation, and value engineering.
The global aircraft design and engineering market is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period owing to an increase in passenger traffic and the subsequent demand for new aircraft. Globally, air passenger traffic has been increasing at a significant pace over the past couple of years. Factors such as decreasing airfares, increasing per capita disposable incomes, especially in developing countries, and improved quality of life have led to a rise in air travel. To cater to the rising number of passengers, there has been a corresponding increase in the demand for new aircraft.
Weight reduction is a key necessity in modern aircraft design as it helps reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. An approximate 1% reduction in aircraft weight lowers fuel consumption by 0.75%. A key objective of the aerospace industry is to increase aircraft efficiency while reducing fuel consumption. Lightweight components enable aircraft manufacturers to achieve these results. Using the additive manufacturing (AM) process, aircraft parts are built as per the CAD design. This is a more efficient process than conventional manufacturing where a substantial amount of raw materials is sometimes machined away to create the final component.
The global aircraft design & engineering market has been segmented on the basis of aircraft component, operation, end use, and region. On the basis of aircraft component, the market has been segmented into engine, wings, fuselage, tail, nose, landing gear, and pylon. The engine segment was the largest in 2018 whereas the fuselage segment is expected to be the fastest growing during the forecast period.
Based on Operation
The market has been divided into design, manufacturing, analysis and testing, maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), and others. In 2018, the design segment led the market due to high investments in research and development aimed at aircraft design. The maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) is expected to register the highest CAGR during the review period.
Based on End Use
The market has been classified as commercial aviation and military aviation. The military aviation segment is expected to exhibit the higher CAGR during the assessment period. This can be attributed to government investments in aviation and military modernization programs across all regions.
Based on Region
The market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing owing to an increase in investments in the aviation industry, primarily in India and China. Furthermore, a rise in investments in military aviation is further estimated to drive the growth of the aircraft design & engineering market in the region during the forecast period.
Key Players
The key players in the global aircraft design & engineering market are Boeing (US), Bombardier  (Canada), Embraer SA (Brazil), Airbus SAS (Netherlands), Lockheed Martin Corporation (US) United Technologies Corporation (US), Rolls-Royce PLC (UK), and GE Aviation (US).
