Aerospace Avionics Market Report 2026

The aerospace avionics market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $84.08 billion in 2025 to $87.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising adoption of advanced weather systems to enhance situational awareness in commercial and military aviation, increased regulatory requirements driving demand for reliable flight recorders and cockpit voice recorders, growth in aircraft deliveries boosting the need for avionics displays and integrated cockpit systems, expansion of fuel system upgrades to improve efficiency and safety across aging fleets, development of digital flight control and monitoring systems supporting enhanced operational reliability.

The aerospace avionics market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $103.95 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to accelerated integration of next-generation digital and connected avionics architectures, growing demand for advanced situational awareness and predictive weather analytics tools, rising investment in fuel-efficient and hybrid-electric aircraft driving innovation in avionics-linked fuel systems, increased adoption of AI-enabled monitoring and health-management systems for aircraft, higher demand for modular and upgradable avionics to support long-term fleet modernization and regulatory compliance. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing integration of advanced flight control and monitoring systems, rising demand for enhanced safety and redundancy avionics architectures, growth of modular and upgradeable avionics components, increased use of lightweight and compact avionics hardware, expansion of avionics tailored for next-generation aircraft.

The rising military expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the aerospace avionics market going forward. Military expenditure refers to the financial resources allocated by a country or government for its armed forces and related activities. These expenditures support the modernization of defense forces with avionics systems such as communication, navigation, and mission systems, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of military aircraft. For example, in April 2024, according to a report published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a Sweden-based international research institute, global military spending reached $2.443 trillion in 2023, reflecting a 6.8% increase in real terms compared to 2022. Therefore, rising military expenditure is fueling the growth of the aerospace avionics market.

Major companies operating in the aerospace avionics market are focusing on forming strategic partnerships to improve aircraft safety, efficiency, and performance. A strategic partnership is a collaboration between companies that combines their strengths, resources, or technologies for mutual benefit, supporting long-term goals and driving innovation. For instance, in September 2025, Panasonic Avionics, a US-based inflight entertainment provider, partnered with Intellian Technologies, a US-based supplier of satellite communication antennas and gateway solutions, to introduce a groundbreaking high-performance, cost-effective low Earth orbit (LEO)-Ku terminal system designed to connect to Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO network and enhance airline Wi-Fi services. The terminal features Intellian’s new LEO-Ku aviation antenna with an integrated modem and controller in a radome-free design, delivering speeds of up to 195 Mbps with less than 100 milliseconds of latency. This lightweight, modular system can be installed overnight and supports multi-constellation operation, offering airlines a faster, more reliable, and future-proof in-flight connectivity solution that also reduces fuel burn and supports sustainability targets.

In July 2025, Safran S.A., a France-based aerospace company, acquired the flight control and actuation business from Collins Aerospace for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Safran’s global leadership in flight control systems, enables the integration of advanced technologies for next-generation more-electric aircraft, and supports decarbonization efforts across commercial, military, and helicopter markets. Collins Aerospace is a US-based manufacturer of avionics integration products.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on electronic components, semiconductors, sensors, and aerospace-grade communication hardware have increased production costs for aerospace avionics manufacturers, disrupting supply chains in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Navigation, communication, and flight control systems are most affected due to high dependence on imported precision electronics. While the tariffs create short-term delays and cost pressures for OEM and aftermarket distribution channels, they have also encouraged regional sourcing, domestic semiconductor production, and strengthened avionics supply-chain resilience.
