The global military transport aircraft market size reached USD 34.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 42.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.39% during 2025-2033.
Military transport aircraft are specially designed fixed and rotary wing cargo aircraft used to deliver troops, weapons, vehicles, and other military equipment. They support military operations by performing multi-role duties, such as aerial refueling, rescue missions, and intelligence-gathering. As military transport aircraft have a huge cargo storage space, they are also used to transport personnel and army supplies during military operations. They play a crucial role in maintaining supply lines to forward locations inaccessible by land or sea and can be employed for both strategic and tactical operations. As a result, military transport aircraft are widely used for combat operations, transportation, emergency services, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
Military Transport Aircraft Market Trends:
The increasing global tension between neighboring countries and the rising inclination to enhance aerial combat and support capabilities during war or enemy attacks are among the key factors driving the market growth. In line with this, the widespread adoption of rotorcraft airplanes to perform airdrop missions, tactical airlifts, and transport litters and ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, key players are introducing modern military transport aircraft that offer superior agility, higher speed, maneuverability, and a high survival rate in adverse weather conditions, which is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the integration of advanced communication systems to facilitate the transfer of real-time data of cargo to the experts at the air traffic control (ATC) is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic facilitated the utilization of military transport aircraft to deliver personal protective equipment (PPE), medicines, and ventilators from foreign countries is positively influencing the market growth. Besides this, several nations are upgrading their existing transport aircraft with newer generation technologies and features, which, in turn, is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the implementation of various government initiatives focusing on expanding defense budgets and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are supporting the market growth.
