Aerospace Configuration Management Software Market Global Report 2026

The aerospace configuration management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.75 billion in 2025 to $1.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing complexity of aerospace systems, rising need for configuration traceability, growing regulatory compliance requirements across the aerospace sector, increasing adoption of digital engineering processes, and rising demand for precise engineering data management.

The aerospace configuration management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for real-time configuration control, growing adoption of digital thread-based aerospace workflows, rising need for automated compliance tracking, increasing demand for lifecycle-wide configuration visibility, and greater adoption of integrated aerospace engineering platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of cloud-based configuration management platforms, increasing demand for real-time tracking of configuration changes, greater integration of digital thread technologies with configuration data, rising demand for automated configuration compliance monitoring, and increasing need for end-to-end traceability of aerospace products.

The growth in commercial aircraft production is expected to propel the growth of the aerospace configuration management software market going forward. Commercial aircraft production refers to the process of designing, manufacturing, assembling, testing, and delivering passenger and cargo aircraft for commercial aviation operators. Growth in commercial aircraft production is driven by increasing global air passenger traffic, which encourages airlines to expand their fleets, increase aircraft orders, and replace aging aircraft to meet rising travel demand. Commercial aircraft production increases the need for aerospace configuration management software by enabling manufacturers to manage complex aircraft configurations, track design changes, maintain compliance, and ensure consistency throughout the aircraft lifecycle. For instance, in January 2024, according to Airbus SE, a Netherlands-based aerospace and defense corporation, 735 commercial aircraft were delivered in 2023, representing an 11% increase compared with 2022. Therefore, the growth in commercial aircraft production is driving the growth of the aerospace configuration management software market.

Key companies operating in the aerospace configuration management software market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as lifecycle management platforms, to enhance the management of engineering data, product development processes, and aircraft configurations across complex aerospace programs. Lifecycle management platforms refer to software environments that manage product information and development activities throughout the product lifecycle, from design and development through production and in-service operations. For example, in April 2025, Dassault Systèmes, a France-based software company, and Airbus, a France-based aerospace company, extended their long-term strategic partnership, placing Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform at the center of lifecycle management for all new Airbus civil and military aircraft and helicopter programs. The deployment will support the entire development chain and enable more than 20,000 users across Airbus and its suppliers to collaborate using virtual twins, helping manage product development from design through in-service operations while improving efficiency, shortening development cycles, and reducing costs.

In July 2024, Industrial and Financial Systems AB, a Sweden-based enterprise software company, acquired EmpowerMX for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, IFS aims to enhance its aerospace and defense software portfolio by integrating EmpowerMX’s AI-powered aviation maintenance capabilities into its Industrial AI platform, strengthening maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations, expanding its customer base, and improving digital maintenance management solutions for aviation organizations. EmpowerMX is a US-based company that provides aerospace configuration management software solutions.
