Aviation Cloud Global Market Report 2025

Aviation cloud refers to cloud computing technologies designed specifically for the aviation industry to enhance operational efficiency, data management, and communication. It enables the storage, processing, and analysis of aviation data, providing real-time access for aviation-related entities. The aviation cloud helps reduce costs, streamline operations, and improve safety and decision-making.

The primary service models for aviation cloud include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers scalable virtual computing resources over the internet, helping businesses optimize operations and lower capital costs by removing the need for physical infrastructure management. Deployment types include public, private, and hybrid clouds. Aviation cloud solutions are applied across various sectors such as flight operations, passenger experience management, airport operations, and supply chain management. End users of these solutions include airlines, airports, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) providers.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The aviation cloud market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides aviation cloud market statistics, including the aviation cloud industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the aviation cloud market share, detailed aviation cloud market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the aviation cloud industry. This aviation cloud market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The aviation cloud market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.39 billion in 2024 to $6.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for secure data storage solutions, cost efficiency in cloud solutions, growing adoption of internet of things, ongoing development of smart airports, and airlines are investing more in IT upgrades.

The aviation cloud market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise of hybrid cloud solutions, demand for real-time flight tracking and management solutions, availability of specialized cloud solutions, growing importance of cybersecurity in aviation, and rising demand for automation in aviation. Major trends in the forecast period include cloud-based airline reservation systems, integration of blockchain with cloud in aviation, integration of advanced technologies such as Ai and IOT, the shift toward virtual airlines, and digital twins.

The forecast of 13.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs is poised to influence the US by increasing costs for cloud infrastructure components and specialized aviation software modules that are often imported from European and Asian suppliers, leading to higher expenses for deploying aviation-specific cloud platforms. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing air traffic is expected to drive the growth of the aviation cloud market in the coming years. Air traffic refers to the movement of aircraft within controlled airspace, including both commercial and private planes, and the coordination by air traffic control (ATC) to ensure safe and efficient operations. The rise in air traffic is mainly due to the growth in global tourism, expanding international business, and the demand for faster, more convenient travel. Aviation cloud technology supports air traffic management by providing real-time data integration, enhancing communication, and optimizing flight operations for improved efficiency and safety. For example, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that global passenger traffic reached approximately 8.7 billion in 2023, marking a 30.6% increase compared to 2022. Thus, the growing air traffic is fueling the expansion of the aviation cloud market.

Key players in the aviation cloud market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to optimize operations, improve efficiency, and enhance data management within airlines and aviation-related businesses. ERP software refers to integrated systems that help airlines and aviation companies manage flight scheduling, inventory, maintenance, human resources, and financial processes, leading to improved efficiency and better decision-making across various departments. For instance, in September 2024, Ramco Systems Limited, an India-based software company, launched Aviation version 6.0, an advanced cloud-based ERP software designed to integrate and optimize aviation operations. This includes monitoring & evaluation (M&E), maintenance, repair, operations, supply chain management, and finance, with AI-driven intelligence, automation, and enhanced mobility features.

In August 2024, Portside Inc., a US-based software development company, acquired LeaseWorks for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen Portside's position in the aviation software market by incorporating LeaseWorks' cloud-based solutions. The integration will expand Portside's offerings to include comprehensive tools for aircraft lessors and airlines, improving lifecycle management and profitability for aviation operators. LeaseWorks Inc., also a US-based company, specializes in innovative cloud-based software and digital solutions for the aviation sector.
