Combat Aircraft Market in Sweden

Sweden anchors a meaningful slice of the global combat aircraft market through Saab. Combat aircraft investment is split between high-volume fourth/fifth-generation production and three sixth-generation programs — GCAP, FCAS/SCAF and NGAD — that will define the market into the 2040s.

Industrial Scaling & Supply Chain Dynamics:Sixth-generation development is restructuring industry teams internationally, while F-35 block upgrades, Eurofighter EK and Gripen E production sustain near-term volume. Loyal wingman drones are being co-developed alongside each program.
