What Are The Core Growth Drivers Shaping The Future Of The Airborne Optronics Market?
The growth of the airborne optronics market is anticipated to be driven by the swiftly rising demand to augment commercial and military aircraft fleets. The term aircraft fleet pertains to a collection or group of aircraft that are owned by an organization or a country. In order to neutralize threats from neighbouring countries, nations are escalating their aircraft fleet sizes. Airborne optronic is engineered and evolved to regulate and assist the airborne sensors and systems utilized in commercial and military aircraft fleets for both manned and unmanned airplanes. For example, data from Ch Aviation, a Switzerland-based aviation intelligence supplier, revealed a growth of 13% in the global aircraft fleet compared to the numbers in 2021. In addition, as of January 2022, there were 28,289 aircraft, with 22,799 in active service and 5,490 grounded. North America and Oceania were reported to have the largest aircraft fleets, with 86% and 85% in active service respectively. Hence, the escalating demand to augment commercial and military aircraft fleets is contributing to the growth of the airborne optronics market.
