Furthermore, IoT aids in cabin temperature control, bolstering aircraft safety and operational performance, traffic management, passenger experience enhancement, luggage management streamlining, reducing recurring complexities, and optimizing maintenance procedures.

Global IoT in Aerospace & Defence Market Trends:

At present, significant expansion in the aerospace industry across the globe is one of the key factors driving the market growth. This growth can be attributed to several associated advantages, including enhanced engine fuel economy, improved noise performance, and emissions reduction, all of which contribute to the favorable market outlook. Furthermore, the widespread use of IoT in aerospace enables the monitoring of air conditions, passenger flows, and real-time aircraft systems, further boosting market expansion. In the defence sector, the escalating utilization of IoT, driven by national security concerns, serves as another growth inducing factor. Beyond this, the increasing demand to integrate sensor systems, actuators, and control systems with existing military infrastructure, coupled with the widespread deployment of networked cameras and airborne drones for battlefield surveillance and information relay to command centers, fuels the market growth. Additionally, the extensive adoption of IoT in defence, with its benefits encompassing robust satellite connectivity, enhanced security measures, and swift decision-making capabilities, is also driving the market expansion. Moreover, the broad application of IoT for emergency communication, activation of public warning systems, mission-critical logistics support, situational awareness updates, and the growing need for real-time tracking of armed vehicle speed and braking systems, all contribute positively to market growth. Other factors, such as the increasing internet penetration, extensive research and development (R&D) efforts, and government initiatives aimed at modernizing the defence and aerospace sectors, are expected to further propel market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 74.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.77% during 2025-2033.
