Military Aircraft Avionics Market Overview



Military Aircraft Avionics Market Size is expected to reach USD 40.21 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.07% during 2020-2030.


Avionics systems are developed to perform specific functions, including a system of multiple electronic that fitted onboard military aircraft. These avionics systems are unified into the encompasses and cockpit equipment like navigation and communication. In an aircraft, an avionics system works as a critical component that makes the aircraft communicate, navigate, and monitor its functions. At the time of war, these components act as an important role where the operator or the aircraft has to regular situational awareness at a high level.


In the present scenario, the military avionics systems comprise more software, less hardware, and more advanced technology. This system is beneficial for the military sectors to regulate maintenance needs. The Market has driven its growth due to the increasing updates on the industry's technical standards like aviation. In addition, the technical standards of FACE (Future Airborne Capability Environment) make militaries able to deploy software-based avionics systems. Significantly, these software-based avionics systems help reduce the costs of military avionics systems, and it would speed up deliveries. Therefore, the engagement of software-based systems in military avionics has more growth opportunities for the Military Aircraft Avionics Market's key leaders to enhance the products. 


In 2018, the general avionics segment was projected to dominate the global market by generating the largest Military Aircraft Avionics Market Size. In this general avionics segment, the largest sub-segment was the automatic flight control system for 2018. Further power plant & system monitoring instruments are projected to hold the higher CAGR for the research period. On the other hand, mission-specific avionics is projected to hold the fastest-growing segment in the review period. Among the sub-segments, military aircraft avionics has the crucial component that includes flight management systems. These systems help automate several in-flight tasks and work as a specialized computer system. Moreover, these systems help reduce the pilot's workload.


COVID-19 Impact Analysis


In the first half of 2020, the Military Aircraft Avionics Market has been impacted due to the government enforcement of lockdown and social distancing norms across various world regions.
