The global wide-body aircraft engine market size was valued at USD 88.06 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 117.43 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.25% during the forecast period, 2023–2031.
Wide-body aircraft, often known as twin-aisle aircraft, often have two or four engines. With the development of turbofan engines and the application of fuel-saving methods, wide-body jet engines have seen a significant transition in recent years. The power component of an aircraft's propulsion system is the engine. All-new engines installed on fixed and rotary-wing aircraft used in military, commercial, and general aviation aircraft projects are included in the research of the aircraft engines market.
However, the worldwide commercial aviation business has been slowed by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Passenger traffic is expected to resume in 3-4 years, hence orders for new commercial aircraft are expected to be lower in the following three years than they were pre-COVID-19.
In addition, when demand for new aircraft fell due to the pandemic in 2020, major aircraft manufacturers reduced their manufacturing rates. Due to the growth of the engine market is reliant on new aircraft orders, demand for new engines in this category will be lower between 2020 and 2022.
