The growth of the aviation gas turbine market is anticipated to be propelled by the increasing number of global travelers. Global travelers, referring to individuals who frequently travel abroad or move between different locations, contribute to the demand for aviation services. Gas turbines, operating on compression, combustion, and expansion principles, play a crucial role in aviation, ensuring a favorable power-to-weight ratio and enhancing flight comfort. For instance, in 2022, data from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE) revealed a substantial increase in total passenger movements, reaching 16.68 million passengers in November 2022, up from 1.23 million in November 2021. Additionally, statistics from the Bureau of Transport indicated a 119% rise in passengers on US airlines in October 2021. This surge in global travel is a key driver for the aviation gas turbine market.

The growth of the aviation gas turbine market is further expected to be fueled by the rising military expenditure globally. Military expenditure, encompassing financial, material, and human resources allocated for defense and military activities, contributes to the acquisition of advanced aircraft equipped with cutting-edge gas turbine engines. This investment supports research and development, enhances strategic mobility, facilitates rapid deployment of military forces, maintains air superiority, supports the aerospace industry, and contributes to deterrence and national security. In 2022, global military spending reached a record $2.24 trillion, increasing by 3.7% in real terms, according to SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute). The continuous rise in military budgets, including China's consistent increases over 26 years, is a significant driver for the aviation gas turbine market.

Major companies in the aviation gas turbine market are concentrating on developing single-engine turboprops to improve fuel efficiency, lower operational costs, and enhance performance for short-haul flights, catering to both commercial and private aviation sectors. A single-engine turboprop is an aircraft powered by a single turboprop engine, merging characteristics of both jet and propeller-driven engines. These aircraft are equipped with a Garmin G3000 glass cockpit that features touchscreen interfaces for user control. The G3000 avionics suite, standard on new models, includes the HALO Safety System. In February 2024, Piper Aircraft Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer, launched the M700 Fury, a single-engine turboprop with a maximum cruise speed of 301 knots, making it the fastest single-engine aircraft in Piper's history. It boasts an impressive climb rate of 2,048 feet per minute, approximately 30% higher than the M600, and offers six new interior schemes for personalization, allowing customers to select from various color palettes and premium materials to enhance comfort and aesthetics.

Major companies in the aviation gas turbine market are strategically focusing on the development of innovative products, particularly small turbofan engines, to drive revenues and meet the evolving needs of the aerospace and defense industries. Small turbofan engines, characterized by their lightweight and compact design, find applications in various platforms, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aircraft, and cruise missiles. In November 2023, Kratos Turbine Technologies (KTT), a division of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc., launched a small turbofan engine. This engine, designed in the 600-900-lb.-thrust-class range, offers a lower cost and a shorter lifespan compared to existing options, making it suitable for use in disposable and attritable aircraft. The development of this engine aligns with the growing demand for attritable and disposable aircraft by the U.S. military. Kratos aims to address this demand by creating cost-optimized turbojet engines for attritable UAVs, emphasizing compact, affordable, and high-performance solutions for cruise missiles and UAVs.

In August 2023, Doosan Corp., a South Korea-based company, entered into a partnership with the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) for an undisclosed amount. This collaboration aims to enhance Doosan's portfolio by leveraging the Agency for Defense Development's expertise in aviation gas turbines. The Agency for Defense Development (ADD) is an organization based in South Korea that specializes in providing aviation gas turbines.

Aviation gas turbines are rotary engines designed to convert the flow of combustion gases into energy, primarily used to power aircraft engines. They play a crucial role in aircraft propulsion by generating energy and enhancing the quality of combustion.

The main categories of aviation gas turbines encompass turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and other specialized types. Turbojet engines use a turbine-driven compressor to draw in and compress air before mixing it with fuel in a combustion chamber. These engines are utilized in diverse applications including commercial, defense, and business aircraft, both electric-based and using specialized fuels.
