Aviation Gasoline Market Report 2026

The aviation gasoline market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.04 billion in 2025 to $2.13 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in general aviation, expansion of flight training schools, demand for private aircraft, availability of avgas infrastructure, military trainer aircraft usage.

The aviation gasoline market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.58 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in recreational flying, modernization of light aircraft fleets, demand for low lead fuel variants, expansion of regional airports, increasing aviation safety standards. Major trends in the forecast period include stable demand from piston engine aircraft, rising use in pilot training fleets, focus on fuel quality and octane ratings, growth in recreational aviation activities, increased use of additives for engine protection.

The growing demand for small aircraft is expected to drive the growth of the aviation gasoline market in the coming years. Small aircraft are defined as airplanes with a maximum seating capacity of 60 passengers or a maximum payload capacity of 18,000 pounds and are widely used for private travel, training, and recreational purposes. This rising demand is driven by the need for personal mobility, expanded pilot training programs, and increased regional air transportation. Aviation gasoline supports the operation of piston-engine aircraft by supplying high-octane fuel required for safe and efficient performance. For example, in February 2025, ADS Group, a UK-based trade association, reported that the global commercial aviation industry operates a fleet of more than 30,000 aircraft, with over 10,000 having been in service for more than 20 years. Consequently, the increasing demand for small aircraft is fueling the growth of the aviation gasoline market.

Major companies operating in the aviation gasoline market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as UOP eFining Technology, to enable large-scale production of sustainable fuels. UOP eFining Technology is a processing solution that converts captured carbon dioxide into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), helping address aviation decarbonization challenges by providing a drop-in replacement fuel with significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. For example, in May 2023, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based advanced technology company, deployed UOP eFining Technology at the world’s largest eFuels SAF facility, with the goal of recycling 2 million tons of carbon dioxide annually and producing 180 million gallons of SAF. This technology uses eMethanol as an intermediate, delivering sustainable aviation fuel that can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 88% compared to conventional jet fuel while supporting the aviation industry’s transition toward net-zero emissions.

In April 2024, General Aviation Modifications Inc., a US-based developer of high-octane unleaded aviation gasoline (G100UL), partnered with Vitol Aviation to make G100UL commercially available to the general aviation market in the United States. Through this partnership, GAMI and Vitol aim to accelerate the adoption of unleaded Avgas by expanding fuel availability at airports and strengthening distribution infrastructure, leveraging Vitol’s established supply chain network while advancing GAMI’s goal of delivering safe and environmentally friendly aviation gasoline. Vitol Aviation Inc., based in the United States, is a fuel supply and logistics company serving airports and aviation fuel distributors.
