The report covers industry analysis, including the key market drivers, trends, emerging technologies, and major challenges faced by industry participants. It also offers insights regarding key factors and government programs that are expected to influence the demand for the military fixed wing aircraft market over the forecast period.

Over the decade, the military fixed wing aircraft market is bound to witness radical change due to increasing demand for fifth-generation combat aircraft. Countries have already initiated their modernization drives, with plans laid down to replace aging fleets with the latest capabilities for relevance well into the 2050s. Mid-cycle upgrades have been focusing on extending the life of the fleet by up to a decade. Many countries are focusing on indigenous design and manufacturing, reducing their reliance on foreign suppliers of military weapons. Due to the exorbitant expenses of obtaining foreign aircraft, some emerging military powers are also focusing on indigenous military aircraft production initiatives. Procurement programs are being devised with emphasis on a lower operational cost over the life of the platform and an affordable acquisition cost, while also ensuring incorporation of recent developments in avenues of low observable technology and intelligence collection capabilities, which will also influence the demand for military fixed wing aircraft over the forecast period.

The combat aircraft segment is expected to be the largest segment and account for 75.3% of the global military fixed wing aircraft market over the forecast period. The combat aircraft segment is expected to receive robust investment over the forecast period, owing to the growth in procurement of next-generation multi-role combat aircraft with advanced sensors, electronic warfare, communication, and weapon systems. Several countries have already initiated programs to replace their aging 3rd and 4th generation aircraft with 4.5 and 5th generation combat aircraft to maintain combat effectiveness and enhance capability. According to Harshavardhan Dabbiru, Defense Analyst at GlobalData, "many countries are focusing on indigenous design and manufacturing of combat aircraft, reducing their reliance on foreign suppliers. Due to the exorbitant expenses of obtaining foreign aircraft, some emerging nations are also being driven to commence military aircraft production initiatives, which is expected to reduce costs and increase procurement volumes, thereby resulting in the growth of the segment."

The Europe region is expected to dominate the global military fixed wing aircraft market from 2024 to 2034. The Russia-Ukraine war has forced several countries in the region to modernize their aircraft inventory to deter adversary threats. In addition, the collaborative efforts by European nations to develop the required technologies and manufacturing capability for next-generation aircraft is expected to be a key factor driving the regional military fixed wing aircraft market growth over the forecast period. Programs such as the Tempest Sixth-generation Fighter Program (between the United Kingdom and Italy), the New Generation Fighter (NGF)-Future Combat Air System (between Germany, Spain, and France), and the procurement of Eurofighter Typhoon are some of the multinational efforts underway in Europe."
