Aviation Cyber Security Market Report 2025

The aviation cyber security market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.98 billion in 2024 to $5.32 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased cyber threats in aviation, rising dependency on digital technologies, regulatory compliance requirements, protection of sensitive data, and high-profile cybersecurity incidents.

The aviation cyber security market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the evolution of cyber threats, increasing connectivity in aviation systems, global aviation industry growth, collaboration for cybersecurity resilience, and heightened focus on insider threats. Major trends in the forecast period include enhanced focus on insider threat mitigation, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity standards, growth in cybersecurity training programs, integration of threat-hunting technologies, and rapid incident response capabilities.

The rising incidence of cyber-attacks is anticipated to drive growth in the aviation cybersecurity market in the coming years. A cyber-attack involves targeting an information technology system with the intent to gain unauthorized access to a computer or network, often with malicious purposes such as disabling, erasing, corrupting, or stealing data stored on those systems. To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access or alterations to application resources in aviation, various cybersecurity measures are employed, including secure application architectures, secure coding practices, rigorous data input validation, and threat modeling. For instance, a report from AAG IT Services, a U.S.-based cybersecurity firm, indicated that cyberattacks in Australia surged by 81% between July 2021 and June 2022, with attacks on financial websites increasing by over 200% in 2022, according to the latest cybercrime statistics. Consequently, the rising number of cyber-attacks is fueling demand for the aviation cybersecurity market.

The upsurge in commercial aircraft deliveries is poised to propel the growth of the aviation cybersecurity market. Commercial aircraft, pivotal in transporting passengers and cargo, store and transmit sensitive data, making protection against cyber threats imperative. For instance, in 2022, Airbus SE delivered 661 commercial aircraft to 84 customers and recorded 1,078 gross new orders, marking an 8% increase from the previous year. This surge in deliveries underscores the escalating need for robust cybersecurity measures in aviation.

Evolution in aviation security solutions emerges as a prominent trend shaping the aviation cybersecurity market. Major industry players are investing in advanced technologies to fortify their market presence.
