The global aerospace and military auxiliary power unit (APU) market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2024 and 2032.
An auxiliary power unit (APU) is a machine that supplies aircraft systems with electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic power when the primary engines are not operating. APUs are used for various purposes, such as starting the main engines, providing power for ground operations, heating or cooling the cabin, and emergency backup. APUs are essential for enhancing the performance, safety, and efficiency of aircraft. Furthermore, an APU allows to reduce the jet fuel expenditure and save on the maintenance cost for a more expensive power plant by negating the need to start one of the main engines of an aircraft while waiting for the passengers’ arrival, further reducing emissions.
The aerospace and military auxiliary power unit (APU) market outlook looks promising due to the increased demand for fuel-efficient aircraft, particularly in the commercial aviation sector, and the adoption of advanced technological innovations in APU systems, such as digital control systems and reduced carbon emissions. The market is also being driven by the necessity for reliable and efficient power sources aboard aircraft, as well as the rising importance of reduced operational costs. Moreover, steady increases in military expenditure, coupled with the modernisation of fleets with advanced systems, are contributing to the military aircraft auxiliary power unit market growth.

Increasing adoption of electric APUs, growing demand for eco-friendlier APUs, and rising fuel prices are propelling the aerospace and military auxiliary power unit (APU) market growth
Date | Company Name | Event |
September 2023 | Rostec State Corporation | The Rostec State Corporation provided a modernised long-range airborne control (AEW&C) aircraft to the Russian Aerospace Forces. With the use of modern equipment, the aircraft's total weight has decreased, and its flight range and time in the air during combat missions have increased. |
June 2023 | Honeywell International, Inc. | Honeywell introduced an upgrade for aircraft Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) that is designed to lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This enhancement aligned with the industry's focus on developing more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft power systems. |
September 2022 | Russian Government | To become self-sufficient in the aviation sector, Russia plans to produce 1,000 aircraft by 2030 using components that are locally produced. This approach represents a substantial departure from Russia's prior 95% passenger traffic reliance on aircraft acquired from Boeing and Airbus. |
February 2019 | Boeing and Safran | Boeing and Safran established Initium Aerospace, a joint venture that focuses on developing and providing auxiliary power units (APUs) for aircraft. The collaboration leveraged the expertise of both companies to deliver innovative APU solutions for the aviation industry. |
Trends | Impact |
Increasing adoption of electric APUs | Electric APUs are gaining popularity among aircraft manufacturers and operators, as they offer several benefits, such as reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, lower noise, and higher reliability. Electric APUs are expected to increase the demand for aerospace and military auxiliary power units (APU), as they provide a competitive edge over conventional APUs. |
Growing demand for eco-friendlier APUs | As the aviation industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, APUs are also required to meet stricter emission standards. Therefore, APU manufacturers are investing in research and development to develop more efficient and eco-friendlier APUs, such as hybrid APUs, biofuel powered APUs, and hydrogen fuel cell APUs. These innovations are expected to create new aerospace and military auxiliary power unit (APU) market opportunities. |
Rising demand for APUs in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) | UAVs, also known as drones, are increasingly used for various military applications, such as surveillance, target acquisition, and disaster relief. UAVs require APUs to provide power for their onboard systems, such as avionics, and sensors. The demand for aerospace and military auxiliary power units (APU) in UAVs is expected to grow as UAVs become more autonomous. |
Increasing integration of APUs with digital technologies | Digital technologies, such as machine learning (ML), big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and internet of things (IoT), are transforming the APU market, as they help APU manufacturers to monitor and analyse the APU condition, performance, and faults, and to provide remote diagnostics, prognostics, and control. |
The rise in air passenger traffic and the demand for modern aircraft, both in commercial aviation and military applications, are further fuelling the growth of the aerospace and military auxiliary power units (APU) industry. While the cost of installing APUs may present a challenge to market growth, there are opportunities for aerospace and military auxiliary power unit (APU) market expansion, especially in developing nations. Continued innovations aimed at reducing costs and enhancing efficiency are expected to remain key strategies for growth within this market.
The aircraft auxiliary power unit market is being driven by the growing demand from the aviation sector. The rapidly increasing domestic air travel due to growing disposable income is expected to propel the demand for auxiliary power units in the forecast period. Moreover, the significant development of the aviation infrastructure, especially in the developing economies, and the availability of cheaper flight options are likely to aid the market growth.
Additionally, the inflating fuel prices are compelling aviation companies to utilise APU to reduce operating cost. The factors such as the increasing popularity of low sound APUs, rising environmental awareness, and growing investment in research and development (R&D) of aviation technologies are anticipated to provide ample growth opportunities to the key players. Moreover, the increasing utilisation of APUs in military aircrafts, vessels, and heavy vehicles is projected to further bolster the aerospace and military auxiliary power unit (APU) market development.
