Connected Aircraft Market
Connected Aircraft Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Communication Type (Vehicle to Vehicle, Vehicle to Cloud, and Vehicle to Infrastructure), by Vehicle Type (Light Commercial Vehicle, and Heavy Commercial Vehicle) Forecast Period (2024-2031)
Connected aircraft market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Connected Aircrafts integrates airtime connection, hardware from airplane, satellite components, and on- and off-aircraft apps and services to transform aviation sector communication.
Market Dynamics
Growing Demand for Technologically Advanced Aircrafts
The market has benefited from the commercial and defense sectors' increased purchases of new aircraft and drones since every service flight needs effective service in addition to improved connectivity, satellite parts, aircraft hardware, airtime connectivity, apps, and services. For instance, in June 2023, Honeywell announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ST Engineering to explore opportunities around retrofit, modification, and upgrade (RMU) programs for fixed wing and rotary wing platforms. This MOU strengthens a basis of cooperation to explore the feasibility of RMU programs and will also help in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).
Increased Need for Operational Efficiency and Improved Communication
A Significant growth in air passenger travel around the world has driven the demand for more fleet to manage delivery and transportation in a civilized manner. This fact exhibit a high need to switch out traditional data optimization and data connection systems with more dependable systems due to the rise in operational efficiency needs. Wireless electronic flight bags and aircraft interface devices are being installed on aircraft. An embedded aircraft system can be installed to limit future component failures and repair services, as well as to improve communications and maintenance operations. For instance, in February 2022, AEGEAN, announced introduction of high-speed inflight broadband, powered by the European Aviation Network (EAN). This connectivity solution is provided by Inmarsat and Deutsche Telekom.
Market Segmentation
Our in-depth analysis of the global connected aircraft market includes the following segments by connectivity, frequency, application and types:
- Based on thetype, the market is sub-segmented into system and solution
- Based on the connectivity, the market is sub-segmented into in-flight connectivity, air-to-air connectivity and air-to-ground connectivity.
- Based on the frequency, the market is sub-segmented into ka-band, ku-band and l-band.
- Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into commercial and military.
Air-to-Ground is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment
Air-to-Ground connectivity is less expensive to deploy than satellite-based alternatives. Airlines particularly for short- to medium-haul flights where consistent satellite coverage might not be as important prefer air-to-ground connectivity. Improved bandwidth capabilities brought development in air-to-ground technology allow passengers to access the internet more quickly and reliably, expanding the selection of in-flight amenities. Thus, air-to-ground connectivity segment is anticipated to held major share in the global market.
Regional Outlook
The global connected aircraft market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America Holds Major Market Share
The higher adoption rate of aircrafts in developed countries of North America, such as the US, Canada. As a result of growing consumer demand for in-flight internet, an emphasis on technological advancement, and the presence of formidable rivals in the industry has made significant contribution to the regional market share. North American airlines are driving the adoption of contemporary avionics and communication technologies as they place a high value on enhancing passenger experiences through seamless connectivity. The region's strong aviation infrastructure and supportive government policies have further made significant contribution to the growth of the regional market.
Global Connected Aircraft Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
Europe is the Fastest Growing Connected Aircraft Market
The European region is the fastest growing connected aircraft market and is expected to grow further. As there is a rise in passenger air travel as well as the existence of well-known OEMs and important players who significantly contribute to the market's expansion in the area, the European market is expanding at a moderate rate. Furthermore, the German and UK holds the largest market share for connected aircrafts. For instance, in 2022, UK civil aerospace turnover was totaled to approximately $34.5 billion.
