Military Aviation Sensors & Switches Market by Sensor Type (Proximity Sensors, Position Sensors, Pressure Sensors, Temperature Sensors, Angle Of Attack Sensors, Speed Sensors, and Field Switches), by Application (Fighter Aircraft, Training Aircraft,

Market Definition:
The Global Military Aviation Sensors & Switches Market size was valued at USD 180.3 million in 2019 and is predicted to reach USD 280.5 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.1% from 2020-2030. Military Aviation Sensors & Switches are used in the aircraft to obtain accurate data from various sections of the aircraft such as landing gear, cockpit, wings and others. The data collected from the various different sections are transferred to the control system to ensure the safe and efficient function of the aircraft. These sensors also provide information about any damage or malfunction in the aircraft to the pilot, so that he can take necessary actions to avoid accidents.
Market Dynamics and Trends
The Military Aviation Sensors & Switches market is driven by the increasing demand of military aircraft around the world. Given the uncertainty in geopolitics, countries across the globe are renewing their military fleet in order to keep up with their adversaries in terms of the changing dynamics of modern warfare. These countries are spending heavily towards the procurement of advanced military aircraft, which acts as a driving factor for the military sensors and switches market.
Other factors include the increasing operations like surveillance and reconnaissance using military aircraft especially unmanned systems, demand for new sensors to be retrofitted in these aircraft and growing adoption of UAVs in defense sector. There is a high demand of HALE and MALE UAVs from different countries. However, stringent regulations and standards associated with military products and components, along with the growing complexities in designing military aircraft sensors are expected to inhibit the growth of Military Aviation Sensors & Switches market. On the other hand, increased use of unmanned aerial vehicle is expected to create ample opportunities in the Military Aviation Sensors & Switches market.
Market Segmentations and Scope of the Study:
The global military aviation sensors & switches market share is analyzed on the basis of sensor type, application, end user and geography. On the basis of sensor type, the market is segmented into Proximity Sensors, Position Sensors, Pressure Sensors, Temperature Sensors, Angle Of Attack Sensors, Speed Sensors, and Field Switches. Based on application, the market is fragmented into Fighter Aircraft, Training Aircraft, Transport Aircraft, UAV, Helicopter, and Space. On the basis of end user, the market is divided into Health Monitoring System (HMS), Cabin/ Avionics, Engine, and Other. Geographic breakdown and analysis of each of the aforesaid segments includes regions comprising North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW.
Geographical Analysis
North America is expected to account for the major market share over the forecast period due to well established military and aviation industry. The U.S. is home of major manufacturers of military aircraft such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, etc. Also, the military spending in the region is significantly higher than other regions, which acts as a driver for military aviation sensors & switches market.
Asia Pacific is expected to show rapid growth with gradual increase in market share owing to the increased government expenditure on defense. Furthermore, developing countries like China and India are acquiring additional military airpower, which is expected to support the growth of Military Aviation Sensors & Switches market in Asia-Pacific.
