Parachute Market Report by Type (Round Parachute, Cruciform Parachute, Ram-Air Parachute, and Others), Fabric Material (Nylon, Silk, Kevlar, and Others), Application (Military, Cargo, and Others), and Region 2025-2033
Description
The global parachute market size reached USD 666.1 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 996.1 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% during 2025-2033. The increasing adventure tourism, expanding military applications, significant advancements in parachute technology, the rising popularity of aerial sports, enhanced safety features, and expanding product utilization in emergency response and disaster relief operations are some of the major factors contributing to the market expansion.
A parachute is a dome-shaped device that slows down the vertical descent of a person falling through an atmosphere. It is made using strong and lightweight fabric, such as silk and nylon, and reinforce handholds to increase air resistance and create drag during free fall. It slows the load sufficiently to prevent and minimize injury or impact while landing on the ground. As a result, it is used for slowing a returning space capsule after entering into the atmosphere of the earth.
Parachute Market Trends:
The increasing employment of parachutes in the defense and military industry for troop distribution, transportation, and training represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, parachutes are utilized in microlights, light aircraft and hang gliders for ballistic purposes. This, along with the rising application of drogue chutes in aircraft to provide control and stable landing on wet and icy runways, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing trend of adventure sports, such as skydiving, para jumping, paragliding, and paramotoring among individuals for stress relief and boosting confidence, is catalyzing the demand for parachutes. Besides this, the introduction of technologically developed military parachutes is offering lucrative growth opportunities to end users and investors. Additionally, there is a rise in the usage of parachutes in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to reduce their kinetic energy while descending and landing. Apart from this, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to provide enhanced product variants for catering to the needs of the end users. These players are also focusing on mergers and acquisitions to increase their overall sales and profitability.
