The aviation infrastructure market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $816.59 billion in 2024 to $865.87 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising air passenger traffic, the expansion of low-cost carrier networks, increased tourism activity, the development of international trade routes, and a significant uptick in business travel.
The aviation infrastructure market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.08 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be credited to the expansion of e-commerce and air cargo, development of regional airports, growing demand for environmentally friendly aviation solutions, enhanced international air connectivity, and an increasing number of aircraft in service. Key trends expected in this period include the implementation of biometric screening, establishment of eco-friendly airport infrastructure, use of artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive maintenance, adoption of smart airport technologies, and the digital transformation of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations.
The increasing demand for air cargo transportation is projected to drive the growth of the aviation infrastructure market in the coming years. Air cargo transportation involves the movement of goods and freight by aircraft, offering rapid and efficient delivery for time-critical and high-value shipments. This demand is growing due to the expansion of global trade, which necessitates faster and more dependable shipping methods to effectively connect international markets. Aviation infrastructure supports this by providing essential elements such as runways, cargo terminals, and logistics systems to ensure the smooth handling, storage, and movement of goods. For example, in December 2023, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based airline trade body, reported that air cargo capacity rose by 13.6% from 2022, reaching 49.8 billion available cargo ton-kilometers (ACTKs) in 2023. Thus, the growing demand for air cargo transportation is contributing to the expansion of the aviation infrastructure market.
Leading players in the aviation infrastructure sector are increasingly adopting advanced technologies like smart airport systems to improve operational efficiency and enhance passenger experiences. Smart airport development involves the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, IoT, and AI into airport infrastructure to enable intelligent monitoring, predictive maintenance, and streamlined operations. For instance, in March 2024, Baoshan Yunrui Airport, a mid-sized airport in China, introduced the world’s first 5G-Advanced (5G-A) smart airport integrated sensing base station marking the initial global implementation of 5G-A in airport construction. This advanced system merges ultra-fast 5G-A connectivity with sophisticated sensing technology to support real-time data transfer, accurate aircraft tracking, and comprehensive environmental monitoring. A key innovation is the unification of communication, sensing, and edge computing in a single base station, facilitating intelligent coordination of airport functions such as baggage handling, runway oversight, and emergency management.
In December 2024, Adani Defence Systems & Technologies Ltd., an India-based defense and aerospace firm, acquired Air Works India Engineering Private Limited for $47 million. This acquisition is intended to bolster Adani’s aerospace and defense capabilities by expanding India’s domestic maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, supporting national self-reliance goals, and catering to the growing needs of the rapidly developing aviation industry. Air Works India Engineering Private Limited, also based in India, specializes in providing aviation infrastructure and MRO services.

Aviation infrastructure encompasses the physical and organizational structures necessary for the operation of aircraft and the management of air travel. This includes airports, runways, air traffic control systems, and maintenance facilities. It is essential for ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable transportation of passengers and cargo by air.
The primary types of airports within aviation infrastructure include commercial airports, military airports, and general aviation airports. A commercial airport is a public-use facility primarily intended for managing scheduled passenger and cargo services provided by commercial airlines. It comprises key infrastructure components such as terminals, control towers, taxiways and runways, aprons, hangars, and other support structures. Commercial airports vary in size, serving small (fewer than 1 million passengers annually), medium (1-5 million passengers annually), and large (over 5 million passengers annually) passenger volumes. These facilities are commonly situated in urban, suburban, or rural locations, depending on the region’s transportation needs and population density.
