Global Special Mission Aircraft Market Analysis 2020

The Global Special Mission Aircraft market is expected to reach $21.78 billion by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during 2019 to 2026. Special Mission Aircraft, as the name suggests, is an aircraft that is either specifically designed for some form of special mission or modified for a purpose beyond its primary intended use. Apart from the two existing uses of aircraft, i.e. transport of passengers and the carriage of goods, today we see many examples of such aircraft being adopted for SMs. Special mission aircraft are usually versatile in nature as they are used for a multitude of applications, both military as well as non-military. In simple words, special mission aircraft are designed to do something additional to simply flying in the most efficient way between airports. There are mainly four broad categories in which special mission aircrafts can be grouped, namely, munitions military, light military, government and public service. Factors such as increasing usage of UAVs in military operations, development of EW counter measure system in aircrafts, growing terrorism and insurgencies due to conflict, rising investments by governments in defense sector, and growing need for air-to-air refueling to support overseas deployment are driving the market growth. However, stringent regulatory norms for manufacturing of special mission aircraft components are expected to restrain the market growth. Amongst application, air-launch/rocket launch segment is expected to grow at the significant rate during the forecast period. These special mission aircraft are provided with capabilities to carry out missions related to releasing a rocket, missile, or other aircraft payloads. The payload is often tucked under the wing of the launch aircraft.
