Global Electronic Flight Bag Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Electronic Flight Bag market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,360 million in 2025 to US$ 2,124 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2026 to 2032.

An Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) is a device that allows flight crews to perform a variety of functions that were traditionally accomplished by using paper references. In its simplest form, an EFB can perform basic flight planning calculations and display a variety of digital documentation, including navigational charts, operations manuals, and aircraft checklists. An EFB uses software on a Windows Surface, iPad or other portable device, or on a device installed in the aircraft cockpit, to deliver a range of functions to the pilot that would previously have been in paper format. The software is the most important part of an EFB device, and the hardware is relatively produced. Currently most of the hardware is Apple iPad or Microsoft‘s Surface. So in this report, we analyze and research the software of electronic flight bag system. The sales are for software installed capacity and sales revenue is only the software of flight bag system.

In terms of software, the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) industry is highly concentrated, almost entirely dominated by a few companies in the US, Canada, and Western Europe, such as Boeing, UTC Aerospace Systems, Airbus, and Flightman. These companies control the development and pricing of EFB software systems. On the other hand, the US and Western Europe also dominate the consumer market for EFB products, with over 80% of EFB products purchased by US and Western European airlines, such as American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Lufthansa. The EFB industry outlook is optimistic; as more airlines adopt EFB products, the cost of using EFB will further decrease. More choices will also meet diverse customer needs.
