The global aerial refueling system market size is expected to reach USD 997.72 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Aerial Refueling System Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Aircraft Type, System Type, Components, End User (OEM and Aftermarket), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The growth in the number of military aircraft is driving demand for aerial refueling systems. Many countries are modernizing and expanding their air forces, adding more fighter jets, bombers, and surveillance planes to their fleets. These aircraft require in-flight refueling to operate over longer distances and carry out extended missions without having to return to base. The increasing number of military aircraft, combined with the need for longer operational ranges, is creating a rising demand for efficient aerial refueling systems. This trend is contributing significantly to the aerial refueling system market growth.
