The air-to-air refueling market is projected to grow at a CAGR rate 3.97% rate during the forecast period. Increasing defense expenditure, rise in defense spending and continuing technology advancements are expected to lead to the development of various high-tech weapons and tankers in the near future, which is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the market.
The probe & drogue are the main systems that are used to carry out air-to-air refueling which makes this segment highest growth. These systems typically consist of a refueling hose, a hose end coupling, and a drogue. Some of the modern tanker aircraft have equipment specially designed to offload fuel to the receiver aircraft, based on drogue & probe, even at higher speeds.
The fuel tanks segment is projected to lead the air-to-air refueling market during the forecast period. The fuel tank system increases the safety of the fuel system in an aircraft. This system is placed in the fuel tank of the aircraft. The fuel tank system stores non-flammable gases, such as nitrogen. The fuel tank operates during flight when bleed air is supplied. This system does not operate when the aircraft is on the ground, except during maintenance operations.
North America is projected to lead the market during the forecast period. The military aviation sector in North America is growing steadily. This has consequently created a significant demand for air-to-air refueling from the defense sector. The presence of major players, OEMs, and component manufacturers are some of the factors expected to boost the growth of the market in North America.
