Aerospace Global Market Report 2024

The aerospace market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $308.67 billion in 2023 to $369.24 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including an increased demand for air travel driven by technological advances, the emergence of economies, shifts in social behavior, and favorable conditions such as low interest rates.

The aerospace market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $461.93 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Anticipated growth is propelled by increased commercial drone demand, emerging economies, and rapid tech advances. Key trends include smart materials in aircraft manufacturing, VR investments for efficiency, multiphysics simulations for simplicity, machine learning, and advanced features adoption, shift to mid-sized twin-engine planes, and investments in cloud-based platforms.

The anticipated economic growth in emerging economies is poised to have a positive impact on the commercial aircraft manufacturing market. The rise in disposable income resulting from economic expansion in emerging markets is expected to fuel the demand for air travel. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported a global GDP growth of 5.4% in 2021, indicating an upward trajectory in economic performance. Developed economies are forecasted to sustain steady growth, while emerging markets are projected to exhibit slightly higher growth rates during the forecast period. This stable economic growth is anticipated to drive increased investments in national security, consequently contributing to the aerospace market's growth throughout the forecast period.

The escalating demand for commercial aircraft stands as a significant catalyst propelling the aerospace market's expansion. Commercial aircraft, specifically designed for transporting passengers or cargo for profit, play a pivotal role in the aerospace industry. This industry encompasses the comprehensive process of aircraft and spacecraft design, manufacturing, and maintenance. Commercial aircraft continuously drive innovation within the aerospace sector, with companies continuously developing new technologies to enhance aircraft performance, reduce operational expenses, and ensure utmost safety standards. Notably, Airbus SE, a Netherlands-based aerospace corporation, reported delivering 661 commercial aircraft to 84 customers in 2022, marking an 8% increase from the 611 units sold in 2021. Hence, the burgeoning demand for commercial aircraft emerges as a key driver propelling the aerospace market's growth.

Major players within the aerospace industry are strategically establishing technology hubs such as Izon to attain a competitive advantage. Aerospace technology hubs serve as centralized locations that bring together technology-driven companies, startups, and various entities operating within the aerospace sector. For example, Collins Aerospace, a US-based aerospace and defense company, introduced Izon in October 2021. Izon serves as a technology hub specifically designed for business aviation services, streamlining various aspects such as flight planning, weather monitoring, fleet operations, and more. This centralized platform grants flight operators and pilots convenient access to their applications from nearly any internet-connected device, eliminating inconveniences. Izon's design aims to accommodate flight departments of varying sizes, boasting a modern user interface and customizable dashboard.

Helicopter manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite (CFRP) materials in producing helicopter parts due to their advantageous properties. CFRP materials offer heightened strength compared to conventional metal parts while simultaneously reducing the overall weight of the helicopter. Additionally, CFRP materials exhibit enhanced corrosion resistance, making them a desirable choice for helicopter components. Leveraging these properties, helicopters constructed with CFRP materials can manage higher loads effectively. Noteworthy helicopter manufacturers utilizing CFRP materials include industry giants such as Airbus, Boeing, and Sikorsky.
