The Aircraft Actuator Market Report offers an in-depth exploration of emerging market trends, driving factors, challenges, and key segments that shape the industry. It includes a thorough examination of regulatory frameworks, company profiles, and the latest industry developments. The report delves into product development, positioning strategies, and the impact of new technologies on the market landscape. By identifying challenges and opportunities, the report provides a detailed roadmap for market growth.

An actuator is a device that converts energy into mechanical movement in aircraft, enabling precise control of flight surfaces and critical systems. The aircraft actuator market is growing due to factors like rising global demand for air travel, urbanization, and comfortable passenger experiences. The shift towards electric aircraft, fly-by-wire technology, and autonomous systems is driving the demand for high-performance, lightweight actuators. Manufacturers are also focusing on creating high-performance aircraft with lower weight profiles, influencing the design and selection of actuators.

Report Highlights:

Aircraft actuator market size is accounted at USD 9.8 Billion in 2025.

Target market size is expected to develop at a rate of USD 18.5 Billion by 2035 and at a CAGR of 7.2%.

Based on type, the hydraulic actuators segment is expected to rule over the aircraft actuator market share.

Stemming from installation, the flight control system segment is attributed to govern the aircraft actuator market size.

On the basis of platform, the fixed-wing segment is governing the aircraft actuator market share.

Appertaining from actuation function, the linear actuators segment is dominating the aircraft actuator market size.

Depending upon application, the flight control segment is holding the superior position, in the aircraft actuator market share.

Contingent to distribution channel, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segment is leading the aircraft actuator market size.

Geographically, North America is holding the largest aircraft actuator market share.

Europe is the region which has the fastest growing aircraft actuator market, during the forecast period.

Key Highlights:
  • In January 2025, BAE Systems provided and integrate actuator control units (ACUs) for JetZero's next-generation blended wing body aircraft demonstrator, which was designed to deliver enhanced energy efficiency and reduced emissions. As part of the flight control system, BAE Systems' ACUs interpret flight control signals, including pilot commands from active control sticks, which the company will also provide for the demonstrator. The advanced ACUs function as remote actuators within a distributed flight control system. The units' localized flight surface management capabilities deliver enhanced flight control with reliable, precise coordination and responsiveness.
