Military Aircraft Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2017-2027 Segmented By Type, By Application, By Payload, and By Region

The global military aircraft market is anticipated to witness growth at a steady CAGR during the forecast period, 2023-2027. Factors such as the growing adoption of advanced military aircraft and the rise in defense expenditure are driving the growth of the global military aircraft market. Besides, high demand for technologically superior aircraft to replace conventional aircraft is being fueled by the evolution of military technology and the use of improved weaponry and equipment in conflict. The most crucial type of aircraft for any armed force is a military aircraft. They are primarily responsible for airspace defense and enemy attacks. They must be quick, covert, and able to carry large payloads and attack top-secret targets.

Older aircraft must be updated with cutting-edge technologies to meet their mission requirements and fight evolving threats. Most military aircraft are of the fourth generation, which can accommodate sophisticated radars and are flexible. The most recent and technologically sophisticated military aircraft are fifth-generation models. They have modern avionics, data connectivity, and sensors. Growing awareness about the benefits of military aircraft and increasing investments in military modernization are expected to propel the demand for the global military aircraft market in the forecast period.

The global military aircraft market is segmented on the basis of type, application, payload, regional distribution, and competitive landscape. Based on type, the market is divided into fixed-wing and rotorcraft. The primary benefit of fixed-wing aircraft is their ability to travel long distances on a single battery, making them suitable for monitoring and surveillance operations. Military drones with fixed wings can still fly and land safely in the event of total failure. Because fixed-wing aircraft have outstanding aerodynamics, the most sophisticated and potent unmanned aerial vehicles are built using fixed-wing constructions.

Major market players operating in the global military aircraft market are Airbus SE, The Boeing Company, Leonardo SpA, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Textron Inc., Saab AB, and BAE Systems PLC, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and Korea Aerospace Industries.
