AEROSPACE FIBER OPTIC SENSORS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global aerospace fiber optic sensors market size was USD 35.66 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 112.28 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 13.6% during the forecast period.

The aerospace sector may benefit greatly from the constant development and usage of optical and fibre optical-based sensors in a variety of applications in challenging settings, such as oil exploration, chemical sensing, and smart materials. Although fibre optic-based sensors have received a lot of research attention, mostly for structural health monitoring purposes, they have not been widely used in aircraft applications. Although the optical gyroscope, which is based on the Syniac interferometer, is currently the most successful fibre optic sensor, there is still a lot of room for growth in other aerospace applications for optical and fibre optical sensors, including ice detection, aircraft safety and security, chemical and gas sensing in the cabin and cargo bay, and Lider.

The desire for innovative and dependable fibre optic cables and connections for communication systems, as well as the increasing demand for higher bandwidth, reliability, and airframes in new and upgraded aircraft, are driving the growth of the global aerospace and military fibre optic market.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID Pandemic Halted The Supply Chain Hence Affected The Market Growth

The COVID-19 outbreak, according to the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA), caused product releases to be delayed as well as supply chain events and other business operations to be disrupted. Due to lockdown procedures and a lack of manufacturing resources, a number of manufacturers have temporarily stopped operating their production lines. However, the COVID-19 epidemic put these nations on the defensive and pushed them to make investments in the creation and acquisition of new military technologies in this area. Due to lengthier lockdowns imposed by various governments in their individual countries, the production, manufacture, and supply chain of military and aeronautical equipment completely stopped. As a result, the pandemic had a severe effect on this region's aerospace and military fibre optic business.

DRIVING FACTORS

Advanced Communication System Technology Will Boost The Market Growth

Due to an increase in traveller volume on certain routes, commercial airlines have chosen to offer long-haul flights. High-speed communication and smooth connectivity are required for long-haul flights. In addition, Ethernet has long been the protocol of choice for network infrastructure among commercial aircraft because of its superior performance, dependability, and open standard that is widely accepted. The Ethernet network connectivity, however, has problems sending high speed data across greater distances. The aerospace and military fibre optic market has been growing as a result of several aircraft cabling system manufacturers entering the fiber-optic cable business.

Advanced communication systems are used by the aerospace industry and defence forces to enable efficient and continuous communication between personnel at various sites and the base station or ground station. As a result, there is a constant need for high-speed, technologically advanced communication systems in these two sectors. Access to real-time information with little chance of data loss is the main advantage offered by high-speed data transport systems. One of the primary benefits luring producers of aerospace and defence communication systems is the ability of fibre optic connections to transmit high-speed data across extended distances. Such advancements are continuously accelerating the demand for fibre optics in aerospace and defence.

Use Of Dependable Fibre Optic Cables And Connectors Will Propel The Market Growth

One of the key reasons propelling the expansion of the aerospace and military fibre optic market is the rising need for brand-new, dependable fibre optic cables and connectors for communication systems. For instance, Raytheon delivered radar system kits for the Poseidon aircraft of the US navy in February 2021. For the Navy and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers, this contract supplies kits for the construction of radar systems and related support for the Poseidon aircraft. These projects are boosting the development of the aerospace and military fibre optic industry in the North American region.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lead Times Limiting The Market Growth

Lead times have been significantly delayed for producers of many electronic and semiconductor devices, including sensors. Numerous Chinese firms have temporarily closed down their production facilities during the first quarter of 2020, which indicated a fall in the global supply and demand for electronics and semiconductor products. These elements have hurt the market for fibre optic sensors.
