(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dublin, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Combat Aircraft - Market and Technology Forecast to 2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Combat Aircraft market has a total market volume over the 2024-2033 period of over 773 US$ billion and a annual compound growth of 8.8%

The Combat Aircraft market is a dynamic and politically sensitive sector, deeply influenced by geopolitical factors. The availability of exports is often dictated by the political and strategic priorities of supplier nations, making the procurement and development of Combat Aircraft a complex process for all stakeholders.

Even nations investing in indigenous development programs face significant challenges, as they remain reliant on foreign suppliers for critical components and systems. This interdependence highlights the strategic importance of supplier nations and the necessity for countries to carefully align their geopolitical strategies when acquiring or developing Combat Aircraft.

While 6th generation Combat Aircraft programs such as NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance), NGF (Next Generation Fighter), GCAP (Global Combat Air Programme), and KAAN hold promise, they are years from dominating the market. In the meantime, upgraded 4th and 4.5 generation aircraft are leading the sector, offering enhanced capabilities through advancements in radars, electronic warfare systems, and avionics. These upgrades significantly extend their service life, while transitioning to 5th generation capabilities - such as stealth - requires costly and transformative redesigns in structure and engine technology.

The Combat Aircraft market is positioned for significant growth, driven by the need to replace and expand existing fleets. New market entrants, spurred by geopolitical considerations, are capitalizing on these opportunities. However, their dependence on internationally sourced critical components - such as radars, engines, and avionics-ensures sustained demand and robust prospects for technology suppliers.
