Aircraft Electrical System Market to Record CAGR of 7.93% Over 2025-2032; Increasing Use of Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Systems to Bolster Market Growth

May 05, 2025 | Aerospace & Defense

The aircraft electrical system market size was valued at USD 22.00 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 23.54 billion by 2025. The market is projected to reach USD 40.16 billion by 2032, recording a CAGR of 7.93% during 2025-2032.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its latest report titled Aircraft Electrical System Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Platform (Fixed-Wing and Rotary-Wing), By Component (Generators, Conversion Devices, Distribution Devices, Battery Management Systems, and Others), By Application (Power Generation Management, Flight Control & Operation, Cabin System, Configuration Management, and Air Pressurization & Conditioning), By Technology (Conventional, Electric, and Others), By End User (OEM and Aftermarket) and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

An aircraft electrical system refers to a self-contained set of electric components that are used to generate, distribute, use, and store electricity to power aircraft. Generators and alternators are the main components widely used to generate electricity. The rising utilization of lightweight wiring systems in commercial planes and innovations in high-density batteries used in electric aircraft will increase the use of aircraft electrical systems.

JetZero Partnered With Tier-One Suppliers to Obtain Components for Flight Control Systems

JetZero announced that it had finalized its collaboration with tier-one suppliers to obtain vital components of flight control systems on its full-scale Blended Wing Body (BWB) demonstrator. The execution of these agreements marked a crucial step in the company’s path toward construction and demonstration. The test flights are scheduled to take place in 2027.

Increasing Use of Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Systems to Bolster Market Growth

The demand for fully electric and hybrid electric aircraft has increased considerably in recent years as the aviation industry is taking various measures to reduce its carbon emissions. This factor has fueled the production of fully electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems, which has ultimately boosted the need for advanced electrical systems that will play a key role in managing power and propulsion effectively. Using hybrid-electric propulsion systems also helps manufacturers reduce the overall weight of their aircraft and optimize their fuel consumption. These advantages will increase their use in electric aircraft, which will eventually bolster the adoption of aircraft electrical systems.

However, stringent regulations can hinder the global aircraft electrical system market growth.

Leading Market Players to Engage in Partnerships and Acquisitions to Enhance Their Production Capacities

Some of the top companies operating in the global aircraft electrical system market are engaging in collaborations, partnerships, and acquisitions to help them launch novel flight navigation and control systems. These strategies will also help them increase their current production capacity to cater to the requirements of a wider customer base.
