The propulsion systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $431.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration of software and artificial intelligence (AI), innovations in lightweight materials, compliance with stringent emission standards, and advancements in fuel cell technology. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the dominance of electrification, advancements in hybridization, the ongoing development of fuel cell technology, adherence to efficiency and emission standards, and the progress in autonomous and connected propulsion.
The anticipated growth in defense expenditure is poised to drive the propulsion systems market in the coming years. Defense expenditure, representing a country's military-related spending, is a crucial factor influencing the demand for propulsion systems. These systems play a vital role in a range of military applications, including rockets, unmanned aerial vehicles, satellite rockets, and aircraft. As reported by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, global military expenditure increased by 0.7% to reach $2,113 billion in 2021. This upward trend in defense spending is expected to foster increased demand for propulsion systems throughout the forecast period.
The significant driver for the propulsion systems market is the escalating air traffic. The term "air traffic" refers to the movement of aircraft through airspace, encompassing take-offs, landings, and overall navigation of planes, helicopters, and other aerial vehicles. Propulsion systems are essential in providing the thrust required for aircraft to achieve and sustain flight, influencing factors such as operational efficiency, fuel economy, and environmental impact in the aviation sector. In March 2023, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, US airlines experienced a substantial increase in passenger traffic in 2022, transporting 194 million more passengers compared to the previous year, marking a 30% year-on-year increase. Over the January to December 2022 period, US airlines handled 853 million passengers (unadjusted), a notable rise from 658 million in 2021 and 388 million in 2020. This surge in air traffic is a key driver propelling the growth of the propulsion systems market.
The propulsion systems market is witnessing a significant trend towards technological advancement, with major players dedicating efforts to developing innovative technologies to enhance their standing in the market. An example of this trend is seen in Phase Four, a US-based provider of next-generation electric propulsion (EP) solutions for satellites. In January 2021, Phase Four launched its first plasma propulsion system named Maxwell, utilized on two spacecraft in the Transporter-1 mission. The Maxwell system, characterized by its compact size (similar to a toaster) and light weight (six kilograms), offers moderate thrust and high efficiency, providing customers with the advantages of electric propulsion.
A notable trend in the propulsion systems market is the increasing focus on introducing hydrogen propulsion systems. Major companies are investing in the development of propulsion systems that utilize hydrogen as a fuel source for powering various machinery and vehicles. In December 2023, Marelli Europe S.p.A., an Italy-based company, launched an advanced hydrogen propulsion system featuring specific injectors with patented designs and an advanced engine control unit tailored for hydrogen engines. These engines, functioning similarly to traditional endothermic engines but using hydrogen as fuel, result in zero CO2 emissions. The Marelli fuel system meets stringent engine requirements, ensuring precision, efficiency, performance, easy integration, and complexity reduction.
In October 2021, Trentar, an Indian UAV manufacturer, successfully completed the acquisition of Trishula for an undisclosed sum.
