Military Airlift Market by Type (Rotary-Wing Aircraft, Fixed-Wing Aircraft), Application (Transporting Military Personnel, Transporting Military Supplies, Humanitarian Relief Operations, and Others), and Region 2023-2028

Market Overview:

The global military airlift market size reached US$ 4,915 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 5,104 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 0.4% during 2023-2028. Increasing geographical conflicts, the launch of advanced military transport aircraft, and rising number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) represent some of the key factors driving the market.

A military airlift is used in the organized transportation of troops, medical and food supplies, and humanitarian relief operations to remote locations. It is also utilized for transporting vehicles, equipment, weaponry, and personnel over long distances. It operates for tactical purposes while relying on smaller and more agile aircraft that are capable of landing or taking off from shorter and paved runways. At present, it is widely available in rotary and fixed wing aircraft variants. Amongst these, the rotary wing aircraft is equipped with rotors, which allow them to take off and land vertically and hover or fly at low speeds. On the other hand, the fixed wing aircraft is designed to generate lift as the aircraft moves through the air and used for longer distance travel or carrying large payloads.

Military Airlift Market Trends:

The increasing global tension between bordering countries and the rising focus on enhancing aerial combat during the war and enemy attacks represent one of the major factors driving the demand for military airlifts around the world. Furthermore, the rising emphasis on strategic and tactical airlift operations and the growing use of air cargo for military logistics to transport goods efficiently are influencing the market positively. Moreover, governing agencies of numerous countries are investing in the military infrastructure and the upgradation of existing aircraft with newer generation technologies and features. Apart from this, there is a rise in the launch of advanced military transport aircraft that provides excellent agility, higher speed, maneuverability, and a high survival rate in harmful weather conditions. This, coupled with the advent of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft to provide surveillance and track terrorism activities in remote areas and supply essentials during rescue missions, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing adoption of military airlifts for transporting ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations is favoring the growth of the market. Besides this, key players are offering military airlift conferences for the community concerning briefings, program developments, and future requirements. They are also focusing on collaboration and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to expand their market position, which is anticipated to strengthen the growth of the market.
