By Engine Type
Turboshaft is projected as the most lucrative segments
Increase in air passenger traffic across the globe
According to International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) yearly worldwide statistics, the total number of commuters carried on scheduled flights rose to 4.38 billion in 2019, which was 3.65% higher than the previous year. Highest passenger traffic was witnessed in Asia-Pacific. In October 2018, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) publicized that current developments in air transport project that the passenger count could double to 8.2 billion in 2037. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a severe downfall in air traffic figures. Although recently, in May 2021, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) stated that the global air passenger traffic is anticipated to recover to almost 88% of pre-COVID levels during 2022, and is projected to outdo this level during 2023. This signifies a robust demand for air travel globally.
The abovementioned statistics indicate considerable rise in air passenger traffic over the years internationally. This rise would result in tremendous surge in demand for new aircraft and new & overhauled aircraft components throughout the world, which would directly impact the sales of aircraft micro turbine engines throughout the world. Thus, the rise in air traffic is anticipated to drive the growth of the aircraft micro turbine engine market during the forecast period.
By Distribution Channel
OEM is projected as the most lucrative segments
Low operating & maintenance costs
Micro turbine technology offers several potential advantages compared to other technologies for small-scale power generation, including compact size, lightweight nature, lesser number of moving parts, higher efficiencies, lower emissions, and capability to utilize waste fuels. In addition, waste heat recovery can also be used with micro turbine systems so as to achieve efficiencies higher than 80%.
Attributed to their small size, relatively low capital costs, low operations and maintenance costs, and automatic electronic control, aircraft micro turbine engines are expected to witness significant demand during the forecast period. Moreover, R&D activities regarding the development of aircraft micro turbine engines have amplified over the last few years owing to the advent of technologically-advanced aircraft along with benefits such as reduced emissions, enhanced efficiency, and lower fuel consumption that are expected to fuel the growth of the aircraft micro turbine engine market during the forecast period.
By Application
Civil is projected as the most lucrative segments
High costs of micro turbine engines
Aviation is a capital-intensive industry. Even a smallest part has to be tested and improved several times before it can be installed in an aircraft. This adds up the cost of R&D for aircraft components. Moreover, manufacturers have to obtain a certificate by aviation agencies such as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) prior to the production of aircraft parts, including micro turbine engines before fitting them in respective aircraft models. Moreover, the maintenance & repair costs of used engines add up to the overall costs of aircraft micro turbine engines, thus acting as a restraint to the market growth.
Increase in procurement of military aircraft amid rise in geopolitical tensions
Currently, the world is witnessing rise in geopolitical tensions. Countries in the Middle East and Asia, for instance, China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, North Korea, Israel, Palestine, and others, are the epicenter of global conflicts. To be ready for war-like situations, several countries have placed orders with military aircraft manufacturers. Various countries have increased their defense spending to acquire modern defense equipment to enhance their defense capabilities. The global military expenditure has seen exponential growth in recent years. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the global military expenditure reached $1,981 billion in 2020 with a 2.6% year-on-year increase. The military expenditure accounted for 2.4% of the global gross domestic product in 2020. Thus, increase in global military expenditure has augmented the adoption of modern, more lethal warfare systems, including highly efficient aircraft micro turbine engines. Rise in defense spending by numerous countries globally is expected to propel the growth of the aircraft micro turbine engine market during the forecast period.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 9.1% during 2021-2030.
