The more electric aircraft market is projected to grow from USD 5.56 Billion in 2024 and reach USD 8.01 Billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. In recent years, innovations in battery technology has been a critical factor driving the development of More Electric Aircraft (MEA), as these systems enable more sustainable and efficient power solutions. Among such innovation parts of solid-state batteries and higher energy densities, such batteries are safer and better at a long-lasting lifetime than conventional lithium-ion. The solid-state battery makes use of the solid material instead of the liquid electrolyte while trying to achieve lower energy levels. This actually reduces the risks associated with the thermal runaway and encourages their use in safety for high energy applications of aviation.

Based on application, Power conversion is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Highly demanding aircraft systems including, flight control, landing gears, environmental controls have huge demands and require a system of conversion of electrical powers in airplanes that move on from hydraulics to pneumatics to the alternative electric version. Power conversion technology allows these systems to function on various levels of voltage, stepping the power up or down, ensuring stable and efficient operation across multiple functions..
Based on End User, Civil segment is expected to lead the market. The civil aviation sector is expected to lead the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) market due to the high demand for sustainable, fuel-efficient technologies among commercial airlines and operators. Environmental regulations and pressure from the industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have expedited the implementation of electric systems in civil aviation, making the sector lead the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) market. ICAO and other governments around the world are implementing more stringent emission requirements, and this forces airlines to pursue MEA technology in order to meet the new standards and reduce their carbon footprint. Many commercial aircraft manufacturers, therefore, highlight electric-driven systems for parts such as flight controls, landing gear, environmental controls, and power distribution.
Europe is expected to account for the largest share in 2024
Europe is expected to take the lead in the MEA market due to strategic focus on developing sustainable aviation and substantial government support for green technologies. The Green Deal and Clean Aviation program initiatives of the European Union have allocated huge funding and regulatory support for the development and deployment of MEA technologies. These programs intend to position Europe as a leader in green aviation solutions by incentivizing aerospace manufacturers to migrate from traditional systems to electric-driven alternatives. Another contributing factor is the region's strong emphasis on research cooperation between companies, universities, and government agencies that is accelerating MEA technology. National strategies for sustainable aviation have been established by the countries of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom as well, which have, in turn, created an environment of healthy competition between them for MEA innovations. This commitment places Europe in a natural leadership role regarding MEA adoption; the region will, therefore be well-positioned to help define industry standards for newer, greener, more electric-based aircraft technology for global markets.
