America Freighter Aircraft Industry Overview
The American freighter aircraft market is consolidated in nature, with a presence of few global players holding significant shares in the market. Some of the prominent players in the market are The Boeing Company, Airbus SE, Textron Inc., ATR, and Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd. Increasing expenditure on passenger to freighter conversions from key OEMs and rising development of advanced solutions for cargo airlines drive the market growth.
To address the increasing demand from the air cargo industry, the key players in the market are investing in developing a newer generation of freighter aircraft that will be more fuel-efficient. For instance, in 2022, the Boeing Company delivered the 100th contracted B737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter. The freighter aircraft was delivered to AerCap Cargo in September 2022. In addition to that, Airbus SE introduced the BelugaST 'Super-Transporter' aircraft, which is based on the A300-600 design and will be used to offer outsized freight transportation for customers worldwide.
