Global Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Armored, Unarmored), by Propulsion System (Jet Engine, Electric Propulsion), by Application (Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Combat Support, Search and Rescue, Coastal Patrolling), by Mode of Operation (Manned, Unmanned), and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030
Global Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market is valued at approximately USD 5.98 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 12.1% during the forecast period 2023-2030. A Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) is a specialized aircraft designed for surveillance and reconnaissance over maritime regions. These aircraft, employed by naval and maritime forces, are equipped with advanced sensors such as radar and sonar for detecting and tracking surface vessels and submarines. They play a vital role in maritime security, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue operations. MPAs, such as the Boeing P-8 Poseidon and Lockheed P-3 Orion, possess extended-range capabilities and are adaptable for various missions, making them essential assets for monitoring and safeguarding territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones. The market growth is being significantly driven by key factors including increased defense budgets in various countries, rising focus on unmanned maritime patrol aircraft, replacement of aging fleets, and rise in search and rescue operations in maritime environments.
The surge in maritime threats and security concerns is the most prominent factor that are propelling the market demand across the globe. Intensifying maritime challenges, such as piracy, illegal activities, and territorial disputes, are driving the demand for advanced surveillance capabilities, leading to an increased need for Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPAs). The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) compiles an annual report on piracy and armed robbery against ships, offering a detailed examination of 115 maritime incidents worldwide in 2022. Also, according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science report, it was recorded that around 7.7 and 14.0 million metric tons of unreported fish catches are traded illicitly per year, which shows a gross revenue of USD 9 to USD 17 billion associated with these catches. These aircraft play a crucial role in monitoring and preventing illegal maritime activities such as piracy, smuggling, and illegal fishing due to their ability to cover large oceanic areas and remain on station for extended periods. Hence, this factor is propelling the security needs, which is directly associated with the market demand. Moreover, the rise in the integration of advanced technologies into maritime patrol aircraft, as well as the advent of the Internet of Aircraft Things (IoAT) presents various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the high cost associated with the procurement, maintenance, and operation of maritime patrol aircraft, along with the stringent regulatory norms for manufacturing maritime patrol aircraft components are hindering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing military expenditures, fueled by ongoing regional tensions, and significant investments by Asia Pacific aircraft manufacturers in maritime patrol aircraft technology highlights their recognition of its potential to bring about revolutionary advancements in maritime security and warfare capabilities. Whereas, North America is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast years. The growing advanced naval installations, as well as the high utilization of maritime patrol aircraft are significantly propelling the market demand across the region.

Recent Developments in the Market: In May 2023, Leonardo S.P.A. entered a contract with Malaysia to supply two ATR 72 MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) platforms. The agreement was formalized by the Ministry of Defence of Malaysia during a signing ceremony at LIMA 2023, a prominent exhibition spotlighting maritime and defense affairs in the Asia-Pacific region. The event transpired in Langkawi, Malaysia.
In September 2022, the U.S. Navy granted Lockheed Martin a firm-fixed-price contract to provide 12 more Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopters for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The acquisition facilitated under the U.S. Government's Foreign Military Sales agreement. These incoming helicopters form the foundation of a third 'Romeo' squadron, elevating the operational capabilities of the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet Air Arm.
