Aircraft lighting is installed on the exterior and interior parts of an aircraft to provide illumination for safety, servicing, operational needs and convenience of passengers. It utilizes different technologies, such as control circuits and control switches and resistors, to automate incandescence, electro-luminescent and strobe lights. Moreover, special aircraft lights are used for specific flight operations. For instance, rescue aircraft are equipped with high-intensity searchlights, while several military aircraft have different intensity lights on the upper surface of wings to facilitate night formation flights.
Aircraft lighting is widely used to inspect icing conditions, improve pilot visibility during critical phases of a flight, identify aircraft location, heading and position, and make aircraft visible to ground personnel and other airborne traffic for preventing a mid-air collision. This, in confluence with the increasing volume of air traffic on account of the expanding international trade and the growing travel and tourism sector, represents one of the major factors stimulating the market growth. Apart from this, the rising adoption of non-electrical floor path marking systems, which include lightweight, photoluminescent lighting strips, is influencing the market positively. The growing trend of urban air mobility (UAM), an on-demand, automated passenger and cargo-carrying air transportation services, is further contributing to the market growth. Other factors, including the growing commercial aviation, technological advancements, increasing investments in the aviation infrastructure and the implementation of stringent government policies regarding passenger safety and comfort, are expected to drive the market further.

The global aircraft lighting market was valued at USD 1.8 Billion in 2024.
We expect the global aircraft lighting market to exhibit a CAGR of 4.9% during 2025-2033.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations resulting in the temporary halt in numerous installation activities for aircraft lighting systems.
The rising demand for aircraft lighting systems to improve pilot visibility during critical phases of a flight, identify aircraft location, head, as well as position, and make aircraft visible to ground personnel and other airborne traffic to avert a mid-air collision, is primarily driving the global aircraft lighting market.
Based on the light type, the global aircraft lighting market can be segmented into exterior lights and interior lights. Currently, interior lights hold the majority of the total market share.
Based on the technology, the global aircraft lighting market has been divided into LED, fluorescent, and others. Among these, LED currently exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
Based on the aircraft type, the global aircraft lighting market can be categorized into commercial aircraft, military aircraft, and others. Currently, commercial aircraft accounts for the majority of the global market share.
Based on the aircraft design, the global aircraft lighting market has been segregated into fixed wing and rotary wing, where fixed wing currently holds the largest market share.
Based on the installation type, the global aircraft lighting market can be bifurcated into line-fit and retrofit. Currently, line-fit exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where North America currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global aircraft lighting market include Astronics Corporation, Bruce Aerospace (TransDigm Group Inc.), Cobham Plc., Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG, Honeywell International Inc., Luminator Technology Group, Oxley Group, Safran S.A., Soderberg Manufacturing Co. Inc., and STG Aerospace Ltd.
