The rise in the procurement rate of new-generation aircraft is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high production costs and delays in engine deliveries may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in the procurement rate of new-generation aircraft is notably driving market growth. Due to the increase in air travel, it is anticipated that air traffic will double over the next 15 years. Only if airline operators purchase new aircraft to meet the increased demand can this year-over-year increase in air traffic be maintained. To ensure the scheduled deliveries, major aircraft OEMs have started renovating their current production facilities.
Airbus has been concentrating on improving its A320neo series of aircraft recently. The new A321neo aircraft, which is an A320 with a narrower body and two CFM LEAP-A twin engines, is thought to be 15% more fuel-efficient than its forerunners. The purchase of the A320neo aircraft and its successors has been motivated by increased efficiency combined with reduced noise generation. Hence, such factors will boost market growth during the forecast period.
The usage of ceramic matrix composites is an emerging trend in the market growth. A treated short carbon fiber or whisker matrix is the foundation of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), which can be oxide- or non-oxide-based. They weigh approximately 66% less than nickel (Ni) superalloys, which were previously employed in engines. Additionally, they can function at temperatures higher than 500 degrees Fahrenheit, which is higher than the endurance limit of their nickel superalloy counterparts.
By using CMC products, engines can achieve a higher service temperature and greater efficiency in one of two ways, either through a reduction in the amount of cooling air diverted or through a reduction in fuel consumption brought on by higher engine temperatures. These two elements help to improve engine efficiency by raising the amount of thrust produced per unit of fuel. For example, since 2016, CFM International has adopted CMC-coated goods for its LEAP series of engines. Even at 2,400 degrees F, the LEAP engines can operate effectively. Hence, such benefits will increase the adoption rate of CMC products, which in turn, will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
High production costs and delays in engine deliveries are major challenges impeding market growth. An aircraft engine's price can be divided into production and associative development costs. An increase in either of these costs has the potential to cause an unforeseen escalation in costs and delivery time extensions. A modern engine is the result of years of component-level R&D, each improvement in the technology of related components can open up a brand-new field of study. Before releasing the new engine on the market, such development activities are carried out for a long time and include several hours of meticulous testing and documentation to produce the best results.
Despite the thorough testing, there is no guarantee that the engine will run without problems after it is put into service. Rectification efforts are very expensive and necessitate that manufacturers not only redesign essential parts but also replace them in the engines that have already been delivered. These failures also impede the development and delivery of other models that are in the works, which reduces the overall number of delivery goals that are met in a fiscal year and results in losses throughout the supply chain. Hence, these factors will have a negative impact on the global market during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

The turbofan segment was valued at USD 23,065.51 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The increased demand is a result of an increase in air travel worldwide, which has compelled airlines to buy newer models of aircraft in order to maintain profitability. This has led to increased orders for gas turbine engines as an aircraft is designed to work with only specific types of engines. There is a sizable backlog of orders for well-known engine OEMs, totaling more than USD 140 billion. As part of its USD1.3 billion organization-wide capital investment strategy to increase the production of its geared turbofan engines, Pratt & Whitney has invested USD 97 million in a new fan blade manufacturing facility at its AutoAir complex in Michigan. Similar efforts to boost production have been undertaken through the expansion of existing facilities by other OEMs such as Rolls-Royce, Safran Aircraft Engines, and GE Aviation. Thus, owing to such factors the segment is expected to grow during the forecast period.
