The Global Aircraft Electrical Systems Market is valued at approximately USD 25.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a dynamic CAGR of 6.80% throughout the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. As the aviation industry pivots toward sustainability, electrification, and enhanced operational efficiency, aircraft electrical systems have come to occupy a pivotal role in next-generation airframe design and aerospace engineering. These systems, responsible for powering navigation, avionics, environmental control, propulsion, and safety-critical subsystems, are seeing a transformational upgrade fueled by growing demand for more electric and hybrid-electric aircraft. The market's growth trajectory is underpinned by rising aircraft production, increasing air traffic, and significant investments in energy-efficient technologies that reduce maintenance costs and carbon emissions.
The momentum behind “More Electric Aircraft” (MEA) initiatives is pushing aerospace manufacturers to retrofit older fleets and reimagine new models with lightweight electrical systems replacing pneumatic and hydraulic architectures. Innovations in power generation, energy storage, conversion, and distribution technologies are making aircraft systems increasingly autonomous, responsive, and optimized for real-time performance. As electric propulsion edges closer to mainstream adoption, especially in urban air mobility and regional aircraft segments, players in the aircraft electrical systems value chain are aggressively channeling capital into R&D, strategic alliances, and modular system development to futureproof their portfolios. However, challenges related to thermal management, voltage fluctuations, and complex system integration remain crucial areas requiring advanced engineering solutions.
Regionally, North America commanded the largest market share in 2024, driven by established aerospace OEMs, a strong aftermarket ecosystem, and sustained defense aviation budgets. The region’s focus on developing electrified fighter aircraft, UAVs, and commercial airliners is catalyzing demand for high-performance electrical infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is poised for the fastest growth, as regional carriers rapidly expand fleets to meet burgeoning passenger demand. Countries such as China, India, and Japan are not only increasing domestic aircraft manufacturing but also investing in aviation electrification initiatives through public-private partnerships. Europe continues to strengthen its position with EU-funded programs such as Clean Aviation, fostering next-gen electric aircraft platforms and eco-efficient power architectures.
