Report Description

The aviation market size was valued at USD 196.47 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 379.85 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to globalization, rising population and increased demand for air travel.

The aviation market encloses the sales of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft across the military, commercial, and general aviation sectors. The market offers an overview of variation in defense spending, air passenger traffic, aircraft orders and deliveries, the introduction of new routes, and investments by major countries into the aviation sector.

The Covid-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the aviation market. The commercial sector, passenger traffic plummeted drastically in 2020, and it is expected to take 2-3 years to recover completely.

The airlines' subsequent losses have resulted in the cancellation or deferral of aircraft orders, thereby reducing the demand; however, the government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralised the situation. This pandemic has encouraged the key players to implement advance technologies to overcome these challenges and expand the market growth.
