Market Definition

The Military Aviation Sensors & Switches Market was valued at USD 200.06 million in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD 268.61 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2022 to 2030.

Military aviation sensors & switches are devices that are installed in aircraft to obtain accurate data from different sections of the aircraft such as the engine, cockpit, landing gear, and others. The data collected from the various sections are transferred to the control system to ensure the smooth and efficient working of the aircraft. It also helps in monitoring and controlling different systems in the aircraft as well as provides information about any damage or malfunction of any section to the pilot to avoid accidents and other uncertain conditions.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The rising demand for military aviation sensors & switches is due to the increased use of aircraft in defense for various purposes such as logistical supply to forces stationed in a war theater, destroying enemy equipment, and enabling aerial warfare. Also, the growing technological advancements such as micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology in aircraft, Loyal Wingman drones, and easy-to-fly autonomous helicopters are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Moreover, most countries such as the US, China, Russia, and India are renewing their military fleet and spending heavily on the procurement of advanced military aircraft incorporating aviation sensors and switches, thereby enhancing the market growth globally during the forecast period. For instance, in July 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the Russian Air Force received its first modernized Su-34M multipurpose bombers that incorporate features from the Su-30MKI, Su-33, and Su-35. It uses three interchangeable reconnaissance pods, UKR-RT, UKR-OE, and UKR-RL that transmit their findings via a wide-band datalink in real-time to friendly aircraft and command centers.

The high cost of aviation sensors along with stringent government regulations associated with military products regarding approval and clearances are expected to hamper the growth of the military aviation sensors & switches market. On the other hand, increasing integration of the internet of things (IoT) in airplanes to record and analyze data for gathering battlefield awareness in advance is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the military aviation sensors & switches market players in the future.

 

Market Segmentations and Scope of the Study

The global military aviation sensors & switches market is segmented based on sensor type, application, end-user, and geography. Based on sensor type, the market is divided into proximity sensors, position sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, angle of attack sensors, speed sensors, and field switches. Based on application, the market is fragmented into fighter aircraft, training aircraft, transport aircraft, UAVs, helicopters, and space. Based on end-user, the market is categorized into health monitoring system (HMS), cabin/ avionics, engine, and others. Geographic breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments include regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.

 

Geographical Analysis

North America held the lion’s share of the global military aviation sensors & switches market in 2021 and is expected to continue dominating the market during the forecast period.  This is attributed to the presence of the US, which is the highest military spending country and contributes to the growth of the military aviation sensors & switches market. For instance, in April 2022, according to the U.S. Army Public Affairs, the FY2023 presidential budget request of $773 billion included $177.5 billion for the Army USD194 billion for the Air Force and Space Force, and $230.8 billion for the Navy & Marine Corps.

Also, the U.S. is home to major manufacturers of military aircraft such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and many more that deploys aviation sensors and switches, resulting in the growth of the market in this region. Furthermore, in January 2021, Boeing announced the installation of upgraded infrared search and track sensors aboard Air Force F-15 jet fighter aircraft to detect, track, and attack enemy aircraft in a stealthy way without making its presence known. 

Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit significant growth in the global military aviation sensors & switches market during the forecast period, due to the expansion in government expenditure in the aerospace & defense sector. For instance, in March 2022, the Chinese government announced the defense budget for the fiscal year 2022 at USD 230 billion a 7.1% year-on-year increase.

Also, countries such as China, Japan, and India are acquiring additional military airpower in light of the growing border tensions between countries. This is expected to support the growth of the military aviation sensors and switches market in this region. For instance, in June 2022, the Indian Air Force (IAF) announced its plan to acquire 114 fighter jets, out of which, 96 would be built in India in a major push to the country's Aatmanirbhar Bharat scheme while the rest 18 would be imported from a foreign vendor chosen for the project.

 

Competitive Landscape

The military aviation sensors & switches market is comprised of various market players such as Honeywell International, GE Aviation (General Electric), Ametek, Safran Electronics & Defence, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Thales SA, Curtiss Wright Corporation, TE Connectivity, Meggit PLC, and Raytheon Company among others. These manufacturers are actively indulging in R&D initiatives, product & technology innovations, and industrial collaborations to enhance their product portfolio and increase their sales growth and geographical reach.

For instance, in January 2021, Honeywell International Inc introduced the next generation of its monitoring system and cabin pressure control with applications in both commercial and military aircraft. This new version of the monitoring system is all-electric, lighter in weight, and is available in military trainer-sized aircraft. Additionally, in February 2020, Ametek signed a multi-year extension to an existing agreement of distribution with Kellstrom Defense Aerospace for the global military and government aftermarket and providing solutions for military aircraft sustainment.
