Air Management System Market Report 2026

The air management system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.43 billion in 2025 to $6.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early adoption of air management systems to maintain cabin pressure and temperature stability, increasing demand for reliable air distribution and conditioning solutions in commercial aircraft, development of system design and engineering capabilities to support advanced cabin environment control, rising need for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting services to ensure system reliability, expansion of aircraft fleets requiring standardized installation and commissioning of air management systems.

The air management system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.89 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for energy-efficient air management technologies to reduce aircraft operating costs, increasing integration of smart sensors and automation for real-time cabin environment optimization, expansion of next-generation aircraft programs driving adoption of advanced air distribution architectures, rising focus on improved passenger comfort and air quality management, technological advancements enabling lighter and more compact air management system components. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for onboard oxygen generation systems in commercial aircraft, growth in portable oxygen systems for rotary-wing and narrow-body aircraft, rising adoption of high-altitude oxygen monitoring systems, enhanced cabin crew life support systems, expansion of aircraft life support and oxygen delivery solutions.

The rise in air traffic is expected to drive the growth of the air management system market in the coming years. Air traffic encompasses the movement of aircraft through airspace, including take-off, landing, and navigation of planes, helicopters, and other aerial vehicles. Air traffic controllers rely on air management systems to monitor and regulate these movements. These systems provide real-time data on aircraft location, altitude, speed, and other critical parameters. For example, in December 2025, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that in 2023, the number of air passengers in the EU rose by 19.3% compared to 2022, reaching 973 million travelers. Among EU airports, Paris Charles de Gaulle recorded the highest passenger traffic with 67 million, followed by Amsterdam Schiphol with 62 million. Consequently, increasing air traffic is fueling the growth of the air management system market.

Leading companies in the air management system market are focused on introducing advanced products with innovative technological solutions to reach larger customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. These sophisticated systems are designed to monitor and control multiple aspects of an aircraft’s environment, including cabin temperature, air distribution, pressurization, and thermal management. For instance, in September 2023, Thane Municipal Corporation, an India-based government administration, launched an Air Quality Management System. Developed under USAID’s “Clean Air Better Health” project, this online tool monitors and improves air quality, providing crucial data for managing air pollution and supporting both immediate and long-term environmental strategies in Thane.
