Global Aircraft Synthetic Vision Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Application (Commercial, Military, General Aviation), and by Display System (Primary Flight Display, Navigation Display, Heads-up & Helmet-mounted Display Systems) Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Aircraft synthetic vision market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% during the predicted period (2025-2035). This technology provides pilots with a virtual, computer-generated view of the external environment that enhances situational awareness during flight. It employs three-dimensional terrain, barriers, and various navigation information to generate a visual display on the flight deck screens, even in conditions of poor visibility. The military aviation industry has shown resilience and even experienced growth, as other nations have maintained their defense spending and continue to prioritize the enhancement of their military capabilities.
The global aircraft synthetic vision market is segmented by technology and airport terminal type. By application, the market is sub-segmented into commercial, military, and general aviation. By display system, the market is sub-segmented into primary flight display, navigation display, and heads-up & helmet-mounted display systems. The rapid growth in the aviation sector increases the demand for a synthetic vision system. The demand for synthetic display systems in the aviation sector is increasing owing to the growth of commercial aircraft and technology advancements. With rapid growth, market players are also focusing on technological advancements in primary flight displays and collaboration with aviation companies.
The Military Industry is Expected to Contribute Significantly to the Global Aircraft Synthetic Vision Industry.
Military aircraft require enhanced situational awareness, navigation in low-visibility conditions, and improved operational safety, making SVS a critical technology. Rising defense budgets, advancements in avionics systems, and the integration of AI and augmented reality (AR) are further accelerating adoption. This subsequent increase in defense also aims to boost the procurement programs for new-generation platforms. For example, in August 2023, the US Navy avionics team obtained two production batches of third-generation helmet-mounted displays for the Lockheed Martin F-35 joint strike fighter. This cutting-edge helmet-mounted display was created through a partnership between Collins Aerospace and Elbit Systems of America, serving as the main display system for the pilot.
The global aircraft synthetic vision market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, ASEAN Countries and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
The North American region is expected to see sufficient growth with the highest CAGR among other regional segments for the forecast period. The region holds a significant share and presence in the global aircraft synthetic vision industry. The rapid growth in the commercial aviation sector focuses on the expansion which is further expected to drive the synthetic vision system market globally. Also, military expenditures are growing significantly and are focusing on R&D and procurement of advanced equipment that has synthetic vision systems by collaboration with regional defense companies.
The major companies serving the global aircraft synthetic vision market are Thales S.A., Safran SA, Aspen Avionics Inc., Avidyne Corp., Collins Aerospace (Raytheon Technologies Corp.), and, Elbit Systems Ltd., among others. The companies are increasingly focusing on mergers and acquisitions and R&D to cater growing demand for synthetic vision systems in the aviation industry.
