Aircraft Arresting Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type ( Net Barrier, Cable, Aircraft Carrier Arresting System, Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS), Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS) ), By System ( Fixed, Portable ), By Platform ( Ground based, Ship based ), By End User ( Aircraft Carrier, Commercial Airport, Military Airbase ) and Regional Forecast, 2026-2034

The global aircraft arresting market size was valued at USD 1.53 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow from USD 1.65 billion in 2026 to USD 2.97 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.63% during the forecast period.

Aircraft arresting systems are designed to stop the aircraft on the runway during high speed rejected take-off or landing of an aircraft. There are different types of arresting systems such as cables, engineered materials arresting systems, and barriers. Increasing expenditure on runway safety measures, and mandatory installation of engineered materials arresting systems at commercial airports with runway safety length less than 1,000 feet are expected to boosts the market. In 2019, U.S. Navy launchedford-class advanced arresting gear performance testing with T-45C at the Runway Arrested Landing Site (RALS). Significant expansion is expected in the aircraft arresting market by forecast 2025-2032.
