Aerospace and Defense Fluid Conveyance Systems Market Report 2025

The aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $15.74 billion in 2024 to $16.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to increased air travel, aircraft modernization and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities, stricter safety and regulatory requirements, vulnerabilities in the supply chain, rising use of UAVs and drones, and growing demand for pneumatic systems.

The aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.14 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The expected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of aircraft fleets, a growing emphasis on fuel efficiency, increased defense budgets, the electrification of aircraft, and enhanced supply chain resilience. Key trends anticipated in this period include the use of innovative materials, adoption of additive manufacturing (3D printing), integration of smart IoT devices and sensors, development of electrification-focused thermal systems, and implementation of modular system architectures.

The rising production of aircraft is expected to drive growth in the aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems market in the coming years. Aircraft include any flying vehicles such as airplanes, helicopters, drones, and gliders. The increase in aircraft production is fueled by growing global demand for air travel, supported by expanding middle-class populations and tourism. Aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems play a vital role by transporting and managing essential fluids like fuel, hydraulics, and coolant, which are critical for propulsion, control, and environmental functions of aircraft. For example, in January 2024, Aircraft Interiors International, a UK-based media company, reported that aircraft orders surged by 91% in 2023 compared to 2022, driven by a 78% increase in single-aisle aircraft orders and a 169% rise in widebody aircraft orders. Additionally, new aircraft deliveries reached 1,265 units in 2023, reflecting an 11% year-over-year increase. Thus, the growing production of aircraft is contributing to the expansion of the aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems market.

The increase in defense spending is also expected to propel growth in the aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems market going forward. Defense expenditure represents the total financial resources that governments allocate annually for maintaining and developing their armed forces. Rising geopolitical tensions have prompted nations to invest more heavily in strengthening military capabilities and readiness. This increased defense budget fuels demand for advanced aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems by supporting the production and modernization of military aircraft, missiles, and space systems that depend on precise fluid transfer for optimal performance and reliability. For instance, in April 2024, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a Sweden-based research institute, reported that global military spending totaled $2.44 trillion in 2023, representing a 6.8% real-term increase compared to 2022. Therefore, higher defense expenditure is driving growth in the aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems market.

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.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

Aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems consist of specialized components and assemblies designed to transport and regulate fluids within aerospace and defense equipment. These systems play a vital role in ensuring efficient and reliable performance of critical functions by maintaining accurate fluid control under challenging environmental and operational conditions.

The main types of products in aerospace and defense fluid conveyance systems include hoses, pipes, fittings, valves, connectors, and fluid transfer assemblies.
