the Surge in Passenger Traffic Spurs Demand for New Aircraft
Globally, there has been a substantial uptick in air passenger traffic over recent years, propelled by a confluence of factors including declining airfares, rising disposable incomes—particularly in developing nations—and an improved quality of living. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reports a significant surge, predicting a doubling of global air travel by 2036. the Forecasts also indicate that China is poised to outstrip the United States, emerging as the largest aviation market worldwide in terms of passenger traffic by 2024.
This escalating influx of passengers has naturally resulted in a growing demand for new aircraft. In a landmark deal in 2017, Airbus inked a colossal USD 50 billion contract with Indigo Partners (US) to supply 430 aircraft, marking one of the most substantial agreements in the history of commercial aviation. During the same period, Airbus and Boeing secured net orders for 1,109 and 912 aircraft, respectively. Concurrently, a slew of new airlines has sprouted globally, seizing the opportunity presented by the burgeoning passenger base; 2017 witnessed the launch of over 70 new airlines across the world.
To bolster the efficiency of manufacturing facilities, airlines are funneling investments into engineering services encompassing digital manufacturing, component engineering, maintenance, repair and overhaul services, and asset tracking and management. The integration of multiple systems in aircraft manufacturing not only enhances operational flexibility but also facilitates proactive service delivery by airlines. A noteworthy instance is the collaboration between industrial automation giant Honeywell International Inc. and Boeing in 2017, where the Power of Connected World Tour featured a Boeing 757 IoT-connected test aircraft. This underscores that the surge in passenger traffic and the ensuing demand for new aircraft, from both existing and emerging airlines, are poised to significantly bolster the growth of the global aerospace engineering services in airlines market in the coming years.
Aerospace Engineering Services in Airlines Market size was valued at 8.5 Billion in 2022. The Aerospace Engineering Services in Airlines industry is projected to grow 28.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.60% during the forecast period (2022 - 2032).
The aerospace engineering services in airlines market is expected to witness high growth over the next few years. Market growth is expected to be driven by an increase in passenger traffic and subsequent demand for new aircraft along with a focus on decreasing carbon footprint through aircraft weight reduction. Globally, air passenger traffic has been increasing at a significant pace over the past couple of years. Factors such as decreasing airfares, increasing disposable income especially in developing countries, and better quality of living have influenced the market growth. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global air travel is likely to double by 2032. It also estimates that China is expected to surpass the US to become the largest aviation market, in terms of passenger traffic worldwide by 2032.
There are various other issues faced by the aerospace engineering services industry such as issues associated with data management, high initial investment, and long certification period. To counter these concerns and ensure safety, countries around the world are focusing on enhancing aerospace engineering services in airlines.
North America is estimated to be a prominent region for the market due to the presence of major manufacturers, such as IBM Corporation in the region. Europe is expected to be the second-largest market due to the increasing demand for aerospace engineering technologies in the region.
Increase in passenger traffic and subsequent demand for new aircraft and focus on decreasing carbon footprint through aircraft weight reduction are some of the key drivers for the growth of the global market.
