Market Highlights
“The aircraft pressure sensors market value was US$ 0.7 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.1 % in the long run to reach US$1.1 billion in 2034.”
Market Dynamics
Introduction
The aircraft pressure sensors market is likely to be on the verge of vigorous expansion in the coming few years, with the ongoing stabilization and the growth of the industry and technological developments. These sensors have essential roles to play in aircraft safety and performance by measuring the hydraulic, cabin pressure, landing gear operation, and auxiliary power units. The market provides three main sensor types differentiated by their purposes: the differential sensor, absolute sensor, and Guage pressure sensor, which serve different roles in different aircraft systems. Although challenged by incidents in the supply chain, the geopolitical environment, and so much money spent on certifying them, the market has a projected CAGR of 4.1% through 2034, when projected to clock around $1.1 billion. Major drivers of this growth are expanding aircraft production, implementation efforts of fleet modernization, and stringent safety and efficiency regulatory requirements. Apart from that, the growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and electric planes is generating demand for lightweight, high-precision pressure sensors. However, manufacturers need to mitigate risks associated with cybersecurity and component shortages, hence, they need to sustain this upward trend. As the aviation industry continues to develop, pressure sensors are key, and innovation and adaptation are key to long-term success in the market.

By Aircraft Type
“Commercial aircraft lead in pressure sensor usage due to their high unit cost and large quantities per plane.”
The aircraft pressure sensors market is segmented by aircraft type into the following subsegments: commercial aircraft, general aviation, regional aircraft, military aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Commercial aircraft are likely to dominate the market in the coming years among these aircraft types, fuelled by a continuing increase in air passenger numbers and expected production increases in key model aircraft. Pressure sensors are of great importance on commercial aircraft as they are used in landing gear, engines, cabin, and flight control systems.
By Sensor Type
“Differential pressure sensors are expected to dominate the market, whereas absolute pressure sensors are projected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years.”
The aircraft pressure sensors market is subdivided according to differential pressure sensors, absolute pressure sensors, and Guage pressure sensors. Due to their frequent application in airspeed and cabin pressure control, differential pressure sensors are set to lead the aircraft pressure sensor market. Current designs rely on these systems because they are key to the safety of flights. In addition, the fastest growth in the coming years is predicted for absolute pressure sensors. Higher demand for advanced avionics and new engine systems is behind this growth. Because they offer very precise results, they work well with new digital and modern aircraft designs. All in all, the market is leaning toward sensors that are both more precise and quicker.
By Application Type
“The engine application is expected to drive the majority of demand, whereas flight control systems are projected to witness the fastest growth in the years ahead.”
The market is divided based on application as engine, landing gear, wheels & brakes; flight control systems; cabin, cargo & environmental control systems (ECS); and other applications. Among these, the engine application is likely to continue being the most dominant throughout the forecast period. This is mainly because pressure sensors become relevant in vital engine parts, such as the compressor, turbine, and gearbox, where reliable pressure monitoring is required for safety, efficiency, and performance. These sensors are used to provide optimal engine operation by observing pressure variations, which may indicate some problems. With engine technology developing with an emphasis on fuel efficiency and lower emissions, the need for high-end pressure sensors in this subset of engines will continue to trend positively.
By Regional Analysis
“North America is expected to lead in demand, whereas Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest pace due to rising air travel and expanding aerospace activities.”
North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft pressure sensors during the forecast period, with the USA serving as a key aerospace manufacturing hub due to the strong presence of aircraft and engine OEMs, suppliers, and other key players. This well-established industrial base has positioned the region as a leader in the global aerospace industry. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific is poised for the fastest growth in the coming years, driven by increasing investments in domestic aircraft programs and the establishment of assembly plants by major OEMs across countries like China and India.
