The aviation test equipment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $8.46 billion in 2024 to $8.84 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aircraft fleet expansion, stringent regulatory standards, focus on aircraft safety, aircraft modernization programs, preventive maintenance practices, and globalization of aircraft maintenance.
The aviation test equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the introduction of new aircraft models, adoption of health monitoring systems, shift towards electric and hybrid aircraft, enhancements in portable testing solutions, and rising demand for commercial aircraft. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in avionics technology, integration of the internet of Things (IoT), simulation and training equipment, portable and handheld testing solutions, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.
An increase in air passenger traffic is projected to drive growth in the aviation test equipment market in the future. Air passenger traffic refers to the number of air travelers, encompassing both domestic and international passengers of air carriers registered in the country. Aviation test equipment is essential for verifying production quality and identifying systemic issues in aircraft, thereby supporting the rise in air travel. For example, data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), a U.S. Department of Transportation agency, revealed that in June 2024, U.S. airlines transported 89.7 million scheduled service passengers, reflecting a 6.7% increase from the 84 million passengers carried in June 2023. Consequently, the growth in air passenger traffic is driving demand for aviation test equipment.
The upsurge in military expenditure is expected to propel the aviation test equipment market's growth. Military expenditure encompasses government spending on defense and military-related activities, facilitating advancements in aviation test equipment through funding projects and enabling the use of high-quality materials and components. For example, data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in April 2023 indicated North American military expenditures reaching $904 billion in 2022, marking a 0.7% increase from 2021. Canada's $26.9 billion allocation for military budgets in 2022 reflected a 3% surge from 2021. Consequently, the rising military expenditure significantly fuels growth in the aviation test equipment market.
Technological advancements emerge as a dominant trend in the aviation test equipment market. Companies within this sector are embracing new technologies to fortify their market presence. For instance, Airbus and CMF International jointly launched the 'Flight Test Demonstrator' in July 2022, part of CFM's Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engine (RISE) demonstration program. This initiative aims to expedite the development of innovative propulsion technologies aboard an Airbus A380.
Major players in the aviation test equipment market are focusing on innovative products, including AI-based aircraft engine analysis tools, to gain a competitive edge. These sophisticated software applications utilize AI to analyze and assess aircraft engine performance and efficiency. Pratt & Whitney's recent launch of 'Percept' in June 2023 exemplifies this trend. Percept, operating on the Awiros Video Intelligence Operating System (OS), captures engine images and videos, offering real-time assessments on parts availability. This AI tool streamlines engine inspections, leading to cost-efficiency and faster evaluations.
