Global General Aviation Market Insights

Global General Aviation Market size was valued at USD 26208 million in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 27465.98 million in 2023 to USD 41883.86 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

General aviation includes all aircraft that are not military or scheduled commercial carriers. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a short-term impact for general aviation, with total orders and deliveries falling in 2019 and 2021. However, increasing the use of helicopters and business jets for patient transport, charter operations, and VIP transportation, among other things, has had minimal impact on fleet modernization plans in the long run.

This is expected to promote the growth of the general aviation industry in the coming years. The need for private transportation has increased as the number of high-net-worth individuals and ultra-high-net-worth individuals has increased worldwide, resulting in the acquisition of helicopters and business jets with enhanced cabin interiors.

US General Aviation Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forcast year.

Based on the Type, the Global General Aviation Market is segmented as Helicopters, Piston Fixed-wing Aircraft, Turboprop Aircraft, and Business Jets. Based on Region General Aviation Market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and MEA.

General Aviation Market Analysis by Type

In 2021, fixed-wing aircraft dominated the global general aviation market. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the general aviation sector came to a halt, with little means to foresee the future. According to government requirements involving lockout and physical separation, the United States, France, Russia, and China temporarily suspended manufacturing units. The general aviation market's revenue was lowered by 15% for aircraft manufacturers. The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, according to market research, resulted in a reduction in the global market value in FY 2020.

Global General Aviation Market Dynamics

General Aviation Market Driver

  • In the United States, the general aviation sector is generating economic growth and opportunity, and this trend will continue when supersonic and electrically powered commercial aircraft begin development. The aviation industry must continue to innovate in order to improve safety while simultaneously focusing on workforce development by marketing the fantastic job prospects available in general aviation to young people.
  • Consumer spending on air travel for medical transportation, charter operations, and VIP transportation drives the global industry for general aviation. Furthermore, the changing lifestyles of the middle-class population and increased disposable income are projected to boost market growth. Furthermore, technological advancements will almost certainly hasten market expansion and assist industry leaders in expanding their market share. Furthermore, increased spending and investment in leisure activities such as travel and tourism, which would supplement air travel and hence contribute to market development, are predicted to help the business. Furthermore, the industry is likely to benefit in the next years from the manufacturing of all-electric aircraft to reduce aviation emissions.

General Aviation Market Restraint

  • Aviation fuel availability and pricing have been major economic elements affecting the airline industry for nearly three decades. High jet fuel prices have a direct impact on the airline's financial position. As the number of airline enterprises rose year after year, fuel prices were at an all-time high, creating a vicious circle. Because alternative fuels haven't made much of an impact, maintaining fuel economy is a primary priority for the aviation sector.
  • The state of the global economy is one of the airline industry's major challenges. The financial crisis of 2008, for example, had a devastating impact on the aviation industry's size. Travel and fuel prices are rising as the global economy deteriorates, while passenger numbers are declining. The impact of the recession on the tourist industry is one of the key economic variables influencing the aviation industry.

To expand their market position, the businesses are creating more sophisticated aircraft types with reduced weight and higher fuel efficiency.

General Aviation Market Top Players Company Profiles

General Aviation Market Recent Developments

  • In June 2022, The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) ruled that CHC’s acquisition of Babcock International’s offshore oil-and-gas aviation business last year is anti-competitive and has ordered CHC to divest it.
  • In May 2022, ATR announced in a statement that the partially configured short takeoff and landing (STOL) variant of its ATR 42-600 turboprop flew for the first time. The flight left Francazal Airport in Cugnaux, France, at 10 a.m. and took 2 hours and 15 minutes.
  • In February 2022, Thrive Aviation, a private-charter owner/operator, placed an order for its first Gulfstream, a Gulfstream G600. The aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in the summer of 2022.
  • In October 2021, Sichuan Longhao Flight Training Co., Ltd. (Longhao Flight Training School) in China has agreed to acquire 20 Cessna Skyhawk piston aircraft from Textron Aviation. The aircraft will be used for pilot training in the southwest and central China, with deliveries beginning in 2022.

 

Global General Aviation Key Market Trends

  • Owing to the inherent mobility, piston fixed-wing aircraft are suited for low-altitude, moderate-speed flights. As a result, the bulk of orders for piston fixed-wing aircraft originate from pilot training institutes, with only a handful bought by private aviation enthusiasts and aircraft racers. Cirrus Design Corporation, Piper Aircraft Inc., and Diamond Aircraft Industries dominate the piston fixed-wing segment of the general aviation business. To increase their global market share, firms are actively spending in the development and purchase of piston-engine aircraft with updated propulsion technology. The electric motors will be turned on during takeoff and landing. However, as the plane reaches cruising altitude, they will shut down, allowing the piston engine to operate at a 50% better efficiency than traditional jet engines. Such improvements toward environmentally friendly piston engine aircraft are projected to boost market growth over the forecast period.
