Australia Aviation Fuel Market

Australia Aviation Fuel Market Overview:

The Australia aviation fuel market size reached USD 9.27 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 14.81 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.80% during 2025-2033. The increasing number of international and domestic air travelers is propelling the growth of the market. This trend, along with the heightened spending on fleet renewal to achieve better fuel efficiency and comply with changing emission regulations, is bolstering the market growth. Besides this, the implementation of policies and funding mechanisms aimed at integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into the broader energy mix of the aviation sector is expanding the Australia aviation fuel market share.

Australia Aviation Fuel Market Trends:

Increasing Air Passenger Traffic and Tourism Activity

The Australian aviation fuel sector is experiencing strong growth driven by the increasing number of international and domestic air travelers. As of January 2025, the Australian aviation network experienced an increment of 0.8% in daily flights compared to the earlier month. Passenger traffic is consistently rising as Australians return to travel after the pandemic and inbound tourism recover, especially from major markets. The geographical width of the nation and dependence upon air connectivity for commerce and travel are increasing the intensity and rate of flights, particularly by regional carriers and budget airlines. The heightened need is also improving commercial flight operations on aviation turbine fuel (ATF), the cornerstone of domestic aviation. Tourism promotions by the Australian government, which include Tourism Australia's promotional efforts, are drawing international tourists. Furthermore, the development of low-cost carriers and increased air routes to hitherto underserved regional regions are also driving consumption.

Expanding Fleet Modernization and Airline Network

Airlines operating within and to Australia are continually spending on fleet renewal to achieve better fuel efficiency and comply with changing emission regulations. This development is adding to the need for newer aircraft models that are more fuel-efficient using aviation fuel, as opposed to being replaced with alternatives. As new aircraft like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 are becoming part of fleets, operating efficiency is getting better, but growth in overall aircraft movements is continuing to maintain fuel demand high. In addition to this, airlines are going out of their way to add to their route systems and transcontinental points, involving more fuel quantities. This increase is driven by bilateral air service agreements and open aviation policies. Even domestic carriers are enhancing flight frequencies, thus rising consumption. The improvement in cargo movement through airfreight, together with a pickup in passenger flights, is impelling the Australia aviation fuel market growth. Qantas the largest airline in Australia, is expected to invest in 20 new passenger aircraft in 2025, according to Travel Weekly.

Government Policies Supporting Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Integration

The Australian government is actively implementing policies and funding mechanisms aimed at integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into the broader energy mix of the aviation sector. Although SAF adoption is still in early stages, initiatives such as the Jet Zero Council and the National Jet Fuel Supply Chain Strategy are accelerating investment and infrastructure development. These efforts are driving the demand for conventional aviation fuel in the interim, as SAF requires blending with traditional ATF to meet current operational standards. The support for SAF is encouraging fuel producers, airports, and airlines to enhance fuel logistics and blending infrastructure, indirectly increasing the throughput and distribution of aviation fuel. In 2025, Technip Energies is given a contract by Jet Zero Australia Pty Ltd (Jet Zero) to undertake a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for Project Ulysses, a bioethanol to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project in Townsville, Australia.
