Aerospace manufacturing software market seen reaching $10.1 billion by 2030

The aerospace manufacturing software market is projected to grow from $6.25 billion in 2025 to $6.9 billion in 2026, with demand driven by higher aircraft production, compliance needs and digital factory adoption. The Business Research Company says the market could reach $10.1 billion by 2030 as aerospace manufacturers lean harder on software for traceability, monitoring and predictive optimization.

Why it matters: - Aerospace manufacturers are using software to improve production efficiency, quality control and regulatory compliance across complex aircraft and spacecraft workflows. - Rising aircraft output and the push toward digital manufacturing are expanding demand for tools that can track materials, monitor production and manage standards. - The market’s growth points to broader investment in smart factories, digital twin systems and cloud-based manufacturing platforms.
