In humans aerobic resp is responsible for most of our ATP production
however we are not the only organisms to capitolise on oxygen
AEROBIC means oxygen using
many bacteria are aerobic
many bacteria produce chemicals and amines which are usefull to us.
an example being hormones and antibiotics
endocrinologly depts use bacteria to produce hormones and antibiotics on an industrial scale to feed the growing need of each
plasmids can be altered to make a bacteria species produce a required protein on large scales.
Growth hormone and many many vaccines are produced this way.(INDUSTRIAL, TECHNO and ECO)
without these aerobic organsims and their modifiable plasmds we would not be able to produce hormones and anti bio's on an inndustrial scale.
hence their significance

Importance Of Aerobic Respiration

In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is not metabolized by cellular respiration but undergoes a process of fermentation. The pyruvate is not transported into the mitochondrion, but remains in the cytoplasm, where it is converted to waste products that may be removed from the cell. This waste product can vary depending on the organism. In muscles, the waste product is lactate, or lactic acid. In yeast, the waste product is ethanol and carbon dioxide.
2 ATP are produced during anaerobic respiration per glucose, compared to the 36 ATP per glucose produced by aerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration is resposible for 90% of ATP production (energy) in the body. The other 10% comes from anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration allows us to convert oxygen and sugars (also carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, etc) into energy such as ATP...it basically allows the human body to function and live.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "economic, industrial, technological..."
Are you referring to heat engines and thermodynamics? You might be refering to combustion in general and not aerobic respiration.

AEROBIC RESPIRATIONIS NECESSARY FOR THE RELEASING OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY WHICHIS 38 ATP MOLECULES PER GLUCOSE MOLECULE.
