“The Aerospace Oxygen System Market size was valued at US$2.6 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% in the long run to reach US$4.0 billion in 2031.”
Market Dynamics
Introduction
Aerospace oxygen systems are life-support and safety-critical systems installed to sustain crew and passenger oxygen levels during high-altitude operations or when faced with emergencies. Such systems are critical to ensure cabin safety and adherence to aviation standards. They are portable, chemical, and onboard oxygen generation systems. The increasing attention to passenger safety, the increasing number of aerospace being delivered, and technological advancements in the field of oxygen supply are the main drivers of market growth.
Market Drivers-
- Increasing Air Traffic and Fleet Growth: Growing worldwide passenger traffic is fostering the need to purchase additional commercial airplanes, which will lead to a greater number of oxygen systems installed.
- Strict Safety Rules: Aviation regulations have required all planes to have oxygen to guarantee the security of the crew and passengers, creating a consistent market.
- Technological Improvements in OBOGS: The creation of lightweight and efficient onboard oxygen generation systems will make the operation of OBOGS more efficient and will also minimize the cost of maintenance.
- Military Modernization Programs: The investments in fighter jets and transport aerospace by the defense sector demand better oxygen systems that can support high altitude levels and combat missions.
- Expansion of Long-Haul Air Travel: With the expansion of intercontinental flights, there is a greater dependence on efficient oxygen infrastructure to ensure passenger safety on long flights.
Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:
A considerable number of strategic alliances, including M&As, JVs, etc., have been performed over the past few years:
- In 2025, Aerox Aerospace Group acquired Omnigas Systems, a specialist in MRO services for oxygen and fire-suppression systems. The deal expanded Aerox’s aftermarket presence, hydrostatic testing capabilities, and rebranded operations under “Aerox Omnigas MRO.”
- In 2023, O2 Aero Acquisitions LLC (parent company of Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems) acquired Fluid Power Inc., strengthening Aerox’s portfolio in aviation oxygen solutions and broadening applications across military and civil aerospace.
- In 2023, Safran entered exclusive negotiations to acquire Air Liquide’s aviation oxygen and nitrogen activities. The transaction, expected to close in early 2024, enhances Safran’s onboard oxygen generation and safety systems offering.
- In 2017, Safran completed the €10 billion acquisition of Zodiac Aerospace, significantly expanding its aerospace equipment business. Through Zodiac’s Avox division, Safran gained strong expertise in oxygen systems.
