Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 33.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 39.08% during 2025-2033. The burgeoning aviation industry, rising demand for better in-flight connectivity, and the growing utilization of 5G in aviation to deliver core wireless transmission represent some of the key factors driving the market.
5G in aviation refers to the utilization of a 5th generation network for performing effective operations in the aviation industry. It is transforming the industry in various areas, such as manufacturing, airports, airlines, and the passenger experience. It provides an enhanced understanding of manufacturing processes by enabling digital twins for aircraft blisks. It assists in performing advanced analytics and simulations to identify and correct faults in aircraft. 5G in aviation also aids in improving airport security by facilitating network-connected 8K cameras and augmented reality (AR) glasses. Besides this, it helps automated guided vehicles (AGVs) perform complete disinfection based on real space occupancy or allows airports to manage automatic fever detection via real-time thermal imaging. It consequently finds applications in real-time equipment monitoring to improve predictive maintenance with video analytics for examining aircraft turnaround processes.
5G in Aviation Market Trends:
At present, the rising utilization of 5G in aviation to deliver core wireless transmission for seamless connection between the ground control room and flight crew for a safe and user-friendly experience represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. In addition, there is a rise in the demand for 5G in aviation among medium and small-sized airports to provide optimized solutions for minimizing downtime and reducing intervention in ground support equipment. This, along with the thriving aviation industry across the globe, is strengthening the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for 5G in aviation to enhance connectivity for contactless solutions for preflight, in-flight, and post-flight operations is positively influencing the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the demand for better in-flight connectivity for video streaming, online interactions, and instant updates on flight schedules across the globe. This, coupled with technological advancements in the telecommunications industry to enable multi-device access over high-speed networks, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising demand for real-time schedules on flight availability and flexible fare schemes is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Additionally, key players are introducing 5G-connected artificial intelligence (AI) that helps passengers find their bags easily as AI will be able to recognize unique scuff marks, creases, and material characteristics to distinguish between identical bags and match them to the correct passenger.
