Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global flight data monitoring and analysis (FDMA) market size was valued at USD 1,265.7 million in 2022. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.5%, reaching USD 2,991.2 million by 2033 from USD 1,373.4 million in 2023. Following are some common factors that are fueling the market growth:

  • Having a high need for situational awareness
  • An increase in aircraft deliveries
  • The increase in the amount of data generated by the aviation industry
  • Commercial aircraft proliferation
  • Use of military aircraft for the delivery of defense equipment

Air traffic control procedures and flight crew performance are enhanced through Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis (FDMA). By detecting flaws in aircraft operations ahead of time, corrective and preventive action can be taken before a major accident occurs. These systems are therefore integrated into the safety management systems of aircraft operators.

The concept of FDMA is viewed differently in different regions of the globe. This is expected to be the major driver for the flight data monitoring and analysis market during the forecast period. Programs that collect flight data generate large volumes of data that require specialized analysis software. Flight Data Monitoring is a service offered by several manufacturers tailored to meet the operator's requirements, which includes handling the downloaded data, validating the data, presenting it in easy-to-understand reports, and preparing the evaluation details for the operator.

The monitoring of combat data is one of the key tools for assessing, identifying, and addressing operational risks. Monitoring combat data also assists in detecting trends and investigating the circumstances when events are flagged. These events are recorded as part of the flight data monitoring system for later analysis.

The flight data is routinely recorded in order to improve the security of fleet operations. Tracking flight data aids in the development of training programs and improves operational efficiency at the same time.

How are Safety Concerns Increasing the Deployment of Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis?

A rise in the adoption of flight data monitoring and analysis platforms as part of the safety management systems is set to drive the growth of the FDMA market during the forecast period. Increasing regulatory standards by national and international aviation regulators are expected to support the growth of the global flight data monitoring and analysis market.

As aircraft deliveries rise and airlines experience better operational efficiency, the FDM services segment is poised to grow. The increasing need for increased situational awareness in order to ensure the efficient operation of an airline low maintenance costs and the increasing number of aircraft deliveries are factors driving the flight data monitoring market. Commercial helicopters have become more and more in demand for both search and rescue operations and personal transportation, which has further spurred the market for FDMA.

CARGO deliveries have increasingly become a huge factor in the development of FDMA as a market. As air transport continues to ascend in the world, there is a growing need to detect, process, and provide efficient solutions within the industry to combat risks. This is one of the major factors driving the global flight data monitoring and analysis market to expand at a rapid rate. Additionally, the growing demand for data processing systems for aviation also contributes to the growth of the global market.

In recent years, the increasing population and the economic growth of the middle classes in a wide range of countries have further contributed to the market growth of commercial aircraft worldwide. Tourism industries in many countries are growing and so are consumer spending habits, which has resulted in the demand for commercial aircraft growing in the market.

As a result, FDMA has emerged as a popular product on the market. The rising adoption of real-time data analytics and schedule management activities for aircraft flights are also expected to drive the growth of the global flight data monitoring market.

What are the Market Challenges for the Monitoring and Analysis of Flight Data?

There are some concerns regarding the availability and misuse of the data. It is expected that these concerns may turn out to be a hindrance to the growth of the global market throughout the forecast period. A shortage of expertise in companies is expected to dampen the growth of the flight monitoring and analysis market in the near future.

The increase in air traffic and the lack of team members to track the data have contributed to the decline in the growth of the FDMA market. With the increasing costs of maintenance and the decreasing efficiency of these tracking solutions, the growth of these markets may be further stunted. Continued demand for new route innovations and tracking systems is expected to further decrease the FDMA market.

Why is Demand for Fixed Winged Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis Increasing?

Segment Fixed Wing
Market Share (2022) 67.3%
Market Size (2023) USD 924.29 million
Market Size (2033) USD 2,013.07 million

The market for fixed-winged flight data monitoring and analysis is growing at a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period. As a general rule, fixed-wing aircraft have larger seating capacities and heavier weights than rotary-wing aircraft. Fixed-wing aircraft have a much higher application number and carry an extensive quantity of cargo compared to rotary-wing aircraft. As a result, the FDMA market is experiencing an increase in demand for fixed-wing aircraft in the market.

According to analysts, the fixed-wing aircraft segment is expected to dominate the FDMA market since the FDMA solutions require certificated take-off masses up to 26,000 kg, contributing to the growth of the fixed-wing segment.

A continuing need for more accurate approaches to landings and takeoffs of flights, particularly in conditions of extremely poor weather and other conditions, has led to a growing demand for fixed-wing health monitors.

What is the Growth Outlook for Civil Flight Data Monitoring and Analysis?

Segment Civil
Market Share (2022) 55.4%
Market Size (2023) USD 760.86 million
Market Size (2033) USD 1,657.12 million

Within the civil segment, sales are anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period. As a result of the increasing number of aviation activities within the civil sector, it is estimated to lead the market in the coming few years.

With an increase in the number of passengers being transported in the commercial segment and a growth in cargo loads, flight data monitoring and analysis have become more and more popular. An increased number of personal and security concerns of different consumers are contributing to the growing demand for FDMA in the market, as well as medical, agriculture, and search and rescue operations.

The rise in air traffic in developing economies, the proliferation of commercial aircraft, and the growing use of data analytics in-flight operations are pushing civil aviation to become a global leader in in-flight data monitoring and analysis. Furthermore, there are operational challenges and personnel issues that are unique to naval aviation that pose significant challenges that are usually not encountered in civil aviation FOQA programs.
