Asia-Pacific Aircraft Engine Market Analysis
The Asia-Pacific Aircraft Engine Market size is estimated at USD 26.93 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 33.01 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.15% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The substantial rise in passenger traffic and the imposition of new emission regulations have led to a significant increase in the demand for new-generation aircraft purchases over the last decade. Aircraft manufacturers are developing new aircraft models in commercial, military, and general aviation sectors, requiring newer engines with better performance, low weight, better fuel efficiency, and lesser emissions. As a result, the emphasis on newer material technologies like composites is increasing.
Technological innovations are significantly fueling market growth, and developing new models results in weight reduction, fewer noise footprints, fewer emissions, high thrust, reduced maintenance operations, etc. The development of battery technology boosts hybrid propulsion commercial aircraft engines in areas such as weight reduction, less space requirement, and high power. Factors such as these will fuel the growth of aircraft engines in the Asia-Pacific region.
Asia-Pacific Aircraft Engine Market Trends
Turbofan Engine is expected to Dominate the Market during the Forecasted Period
The turbofan segment is expected to dominate the aircraft engines market and is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. Turbofan engines are most widely used in commercial and military segments. Significant investments have developed the next generation of highly efficient jet engines. These engines will most likely be equipped with long-range aircraft that travel long distances without stopping, including intercontinental flights. For instance, in June 2021, General Electric, an aircraft engine manufacturer, and Safran unveiled plans to test-build an open-bladed jet engine that can reduce fuel use and emissions by 20%. The RISE engine, positioned as a successor to the LEAP model used on the Airbus A320neo and Boeing B737 MAX, would feature a design with visible fan blades known as open-rotor and could enter service by the mid-2030s.
Air passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific region has witnessed significant improvements and growth in recent times owing to the robust vaccination programs in several countries, which have helped the governments ease air travel regulations, leading to increased opportunities for air travel in the Asia-Pacific region. With growing aircraft orders in the commercial aircraft segment, which is majorly dominated by the turbofan engine segment, the turbofan engine segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.
India is Projected to Exhibit the Highest Growth Rate in the Market
India is one of the fastest-growing aviation markets globally and has significant potential for growth in the future. India is the world’s fourth-largest military spender and Asia’s second-largest military spender as of 2023. India is one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the world and has a significant potential for growth in the coming years. Also, an increase in the budget allocation for improving airport infrastructure and establishing new airports will support the development of the aviation sector over the next decade.
Indigo is the largest airline in the country (in terms of passengers carried and fleet), and as of March 2022, the airline had a domestic market share of 59%. The country's business jet purchases are comprised chiefly of pre-owned aircraft as the government is an emerging economy with comparatively lower disposable incomes. This factor is currently hindering the growth of the country's market. India has a total fleet of 253 business jets as of March 2023. Considering the developments, the country's passenger and defense aviation sector is in a sweet spot. Thus, the demand for aircraft engines will likely grow during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific Aircraft Engine Industry Overview
The Asia-Pacific aircraft engine market is consolidated, with most of the market share being held by Pratt & Whitney (RTX Corporation), Rolls-Royce plc, Safran, UEC Aviadvigatel JSC, and General Electric Company. The engine manufacturers and aircraft OEMs often prefer long-term contracts, making it difficult for new players to enter the market.
Significant investment in R&D of advanced technologies, like additive manufacturing and incorporation of AI to increase the production rate, is expected to help the players ramp up their production capacity, thereby maximizing their profits. For instance, in June 2023, India and the US planned to collaborate on producing fighter jet engines. The deal will be signed between General Electric and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to transfer approximately 80% of the jet engine technology by value.
