Aviation IoT Market Outlook:
Aviation IoT Market size was over USD 15.92 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to cross USD 120.16 billion by 2035, witnessing more than 22.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of aviation IoT is assessed at USD 19.13 billion.
The market is rising at a rapid pace as most airlines and airports are seeking IoT technologies to help improve overall operational efficiency, safety, and passenger service. The incorporation of advanced sensors, analytics, as well as automation in the processes of aviation, drives growth in this sector. Governments are also contributing their share to the growth of the aviation IoT market through smart airport initiatives and regulatory frameworks, ensuring incentives for adopting these IoT technologies. For example, in May 2023, the European Union launched a €1.2 billion program to modernize airport infrastructure across member states with a strong focus on IoT and AI integration to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
Companies in the aviation IoT market are getting more innovative to claim a larger share of the growing business. Some forward strides include the strategic coalition of GE Aviation with Verizon, announced in April 2021, for a new IoT platform providing real-time data transmission across airports using 5G connectivity. The platform looks forward to bettering ground operations through high-speed, low-latency communication among the plethora of IoT devices, thereby enhancing efficiency and safety within airport environments. The collaboration represents the push toward deploying the latest technology to satisfy the complex needs of contemporary aviation.
