Global Flight Simulator Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Flight Simulator market size is predicted to grow from US$ 4129 million in 2025 to US$ 5022 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2025 to 2031.

A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear, cloud, precipitation, etc.

Flight simulators are widely used in pilot training, aircraft design, airborne equipment testing and other applications. The primary purpose of utilization of flight simulator is to train a pilot to achieve, test, and maintain proficiency in the operation of an airplane without risk to person or property and at a lower cost to training in the air.

In its simplest form, a flight simulator system usually includes:

1. A display, or multiple displays, to present visually the external environment.

2. Control devices, such as a yoke or control stick and rudder pedals, to provide control inputs to the simulator.

3. A audio system to produce communications, external, aircraft, and cockpit sounds.

4. A computer system or systems to process control inputs, to digitally generate visual and audio representations in response to those inputs, and to record flight data for analysis.

Globally, the flight simulator industry market is quite concentrated as the manufacturing technology of flight simulator is super complex and is related to lots of hardware and software technology. Several enterprises, like CAE, L3 Technologies and FlightSafety International are well-known for the technology status of their flight simulator and related services, the top 3 got about 57% market shares. At the same time, North America, occupied 80% revenue market share, is remarkable in the global flight simulator industry because of their market share and technology status.
