Key Takeaways
HON's Aerospace Technologies organic revenues rose 13.2% year over year in the first nine months of 2025.
Honeywell is benefiting from strong commercial aviation aftermarket demand and recovering OEM production.
HON expects high-single- to low-double-digit organic sales growth in aerospace for full-year 2025.
Honeywell International Inc. (HON - Free Report) is benefiting from strong momentum in the Aerospace Technologies segment. The segment’s organic revenues surged 13.2% year over year in the first nine months of 2025, constituting more than 42% of its business.
The segment’s revenues were augmented by sustained strength in its commercial aviation aftermarket business due to solid demand in the air transport market and supply-chain improvements. Notably, organic sales from its commercial aviation aftermarket business surged 13.1% year over year in the first nine months of the year. Also, the company is witnessing recovery in the commercial aviation original equipment (OEM) business, supported by increased production and reduced customer destocking.
Also, strength in Honeywell’s defense and space business, owing to robust U.S. and international defense spending volumes and sustained demand from the current geopolitical climate, has also been driving its results.
HON is poised to maintain strong demand momentum in the quarters ahead, with both commercial and military aircraft programs benefiting from strong air travel activities and defense budgets. For 2025, it expects organic sales in the Aerospace Technologies segment to be up in the high-single-digit to low double-digit range, driven by continued momentum in both commercial aviation and defense and space businesses.
HON's Peers in the Aerospace Market
Among its major peers, Howmet Aerospace Inc.’s (HWM - Free Report) defense aerospace market is playing an important role in driving its overall growth. In the third quarter of 2025, Howmet’s revenues from the defense aerospace market jumped 24% year over year, which accounted for 17% of its total sales. The surge in revenues was fueled by robust demand for Howmet’s engine spares, particularly related to the F-35 program and an increase in orders for new builds and legacy fighter jet parts.
Its another peer, Textron Inc.’s (TXT - Free Report) Aviation business unit has been witnessing improving commercial air passenger traffic. Evidently, strong fleet utilization, backed by improving commercial air travel, contributed to Textron Aviation unit’s revenue growth of 10% on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter of 2025. Thanks to growing air travel, Textron has also been witnessing strong order activity, which resulted in a backlog of $7.7 billion for the company’s Aviation segment.
