Aerospace & Defense Sector Market to Reach USD 1,200 B by 2035

The global aerospace & defense sector, valued at USD 984 billion in 2024, is projected to climb to USD 1,200 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 1.8%. Technological breakthroughs, rising military budgets, and commercial aviation recovery are shaping future growth.
Published 08 October 2025

The Aerospace & Defense Sector Market was estimated to be 984 USD billion. The market for the aerospace and defense sector is anticipated to increase from 1,001.7 billion USD in 2025 to 1,200 USD in 2035. During the projected period (2025-2035), the Aerospace & Defense Sector Market is anticipated to develop at a CAGR of approximately 1.8%.

At its core, the industry weaves together commercial aviation, military aircraft, space systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles, and defense electronics. The commercial aviation segment retains a dominant share, propelled by post-pandemic travel resurgence and fleet modernization. Meanwhile, military aviation, unmanned systems, and satellite technologies act as counterweights—fueling strategic investments from governments and private sector actors alike.

A confluence of forces is driving this expansion. Escalating geopolitical tensions and security imperatives are pushing many nations to raise defense budgets, thereby injecting capital into advanced weaponry, surveillance systems, and mission-critical platforms. In tandem, the commercial aviation recovery is reigniting demand for new aircraft, spurring original equipment manufacturers to ramp up production. The infusion of cutting-edge technologies—artificial intelligence, autonomous platforms, advanced propulsion, and lightweight composite materials—is reshaping the industry’s competitive landscape.

Current market trends point toward sustained digitization, integration of unmanned aerial capabilities, and additive manufacturing techniques. The rising deployment of drones for both defense surveillance and commercial logistics exemplifies this shift. Defense electronics is gaining prominence as nations demand stronger cyber-resilience, secure communications and sensor fusion across domains. Concurrently, supply chain resilience is drawing attention, with stakeholders exploring on-shore manufacturing and alternate sourcing strategies to mitigate disruptions.

Opportunities abound for forward-looking players. The drive toward sustainability opens pathways for hybrid and electric propulsion systems, cleaner fuels, and greener manufacturing. Countries striving for defense autonomy are eager to nurture indigenous capabilities, creating openings for local firms to collaborate or supply components. The commercial space economy—satellite deployment, Earth observation services, and space tourism—adds a supplemental frontier. Moreover, cross-sector partnerships between defense contractors and tech innovators promise to accelerate adoption of AI, machine learning, and edge computing in mission environments.

Looking ahead, the outlook remains cautiously optimistic. The projected 1.8 percent CAGR suggests modest but consistent growth, moderated by fiscal constraints and regulatory complexities. The dominant players in North America and Europe are likely to maintain leadership, thanks to mature ecosystems and deep pockets of investment. Yet Asia-Pacific and select emerging markets may witness above-average expansion as countries modernize their air forces and expand aerospace ambitions. Success will hinge on agility—companies that can adapt to shifting paradigms, anticipate defense priorities, and embed sustainable innovation will be better positioned to thrive in this evolving realm.
