Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Armored, Unarmed); By Propulsion System; By Application; By Mode of Operation; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032

The global maritime patrol aircraft market size is expected to reach USD 16.92 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Maritime Patrol Aircraft Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Armored, Unarmed); By Propulsion System; By Application; By Mode of Operation; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The rising concerns about maritime safety driven by increasing global trade activities through the sea as a medium of transport due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to load larger goods are contributing to the significant demand for maritime patrol aircraft in the marketplace.

The ongoing Russia-Ukrainian war and the Israel-Hamas war are globally promoting investment in the defense and maritime sectors. These wars are causing huge losses to international trade, driven by growing attacks on maritime. This trend is expected to drive demand for maritime patrol aircraft in the global space.

The establishment of measures by the International Maritime Organization to control greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy efficiency in the sector is empowering nations to acquire the most advanced maritime patrol aircraft in the world.

The increasing number of initiatives by countries to adopt advanced maritime patrol aircraft to enhance their defense capacity and encounter potential threats is expected to create new growth opportunities for the global maritime patrol aircraft market in the coming years. For instance, in December 2023, Spain ordered 16 new Airbus C295 aircraft for surveillance and maritime patrol with an investment of $1.9 billion.

The rising importance of promoting maritime surveillance systems with a view to anticipating potential war strategies by other nations and saving their citizens along with their resources is showing tremendous growth potential for the maritime patrol aircraft market. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on fuel efficiency in patrol aircraft is driving demand for innovations in the global market. For instance, in September 2023, Air Canada placed the order to purchase 18 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner aircraft as a part of renewal and fuel efficiency operations.

Moreover, the increasing efforts by governments to improve their operational capacity in defense and maritime surveillance systems are positively influencing market demand. For instance, in June 2023, at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition, the Malaysian Ministry of Defense announced a contract with an aerospace and defense company, Leonardo, to obtain two ATR 72 maritime patrol aircraft platforms.
