The global IoT in aerospace & defence market size reached USD 52.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 74.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.77% during 2025-2033. The rising concerns about national security, along with the extensive R&D activities, are primarily propelling the market.
The internet of things (IoT) in aerospace and defense refers to the technological solution used for connecting mechanical equipment and objects to the internet. It comprises various tools and services enabling better management of the industry and utilization of networked smart devices with real-time data cooperation. It is widely used in health management, repair and maintenance, mobility planning, inventory control, analytical tools, and remote monitoring. IoT in aerospace and defense helps to increase overall efficiency and safety and achieve optimum operational efficiency through predictive maintenance, data analytics, and smart surveillance features. It also assists in controlling temperature in the cabin, enhancing aircraft safety and operation performance, managing traffic, improving passenger experience and luggage management, reducing various recurring complexities, and optimizing maintenance.
Significant expansion in the aerospace industry across the globe is one of the key factors driving the market growth. This can be attributed to the various associated advantages, such as increased engine fuel economy, noise performance improvement, and emission cancellation, which is favoring the market growth. Moreover, IoT in aerospace is widely used to track air conditions and the flow of passengers and allows real-time monitoring of aircraft systems. The increasing utilization of IoT in the defense industry due to the growing concerns for national security is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the rising demand for combining sensor systems, actuators, and control systems with existing military infrastructures and the widespread utilization of networked cameras and flying drones, survey the battlefield to map the terrain and enemy positions and send the information to the command center are providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the extensive application of IoT in defense due to its benefits, including high satellite connection, enhanced security, and quick decision-making abilities, is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread utilization of IoT for emergency calling, activating public warning systems, mission-critical logistics support, and communication regarding situational awareness, along with the increasing demand for real-time tracking of armed truck's speed and braking system, is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including increasing internet penetration, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and the implementation of various government initiatives to upgrade the defense and aerospace sectors, are anticipated to drive the market growth further.
