Aviation Fuel Market

Market Overview:

The global aviation fuel market size reached US$ 305.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 404.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2023-2028. The increasing number of air passengers, rising changes in airline operations, and the burgeoning aviation industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Aviation fuel is a highly refined petroleum-based fuel designed to provide high energy output with minimal emissions. It has a higher energy content with high energy density, which allows aircraft to travel long distances at high speeds. It is treated with additives, including antioxidants, antistatic agents, and corrosion inhibitors, to improve its performance and safety. It offers benefits to aircraft, such as stability, lubricity, fluidity, volatility, non-corrosivity, cleanliness, and prevents the risk of explosion. It is stored and transported using specialized equipment to ensure its safe use in aircraft for preventing leaks and minimize the risk of fire.

Aviation Fuel Market Trends:

The increasing number of air passengers worldwide, rising commercial air traffic, and significant growth in the aviation industry are among the major factors driving the demand for aviation fuel around the world. Moreover, the growing changes in airline operations, such as scheduling, fleet size, and route networks, are influencing the market positively. In addition, there is an increase in the incidences of cross-border terrorist activities and illegal trespassing, and rising investments in the defense and military industries. This, coupled with the rising use of the aviation fuel to facilitate surveillance in remote areas on account of their numerous advantages, like landing in difficult and compact areas, is favoring the growth of the market. Furthermore, there is a growing use of aviation fuel due to the rising use of aircraft in areas that are prone to windstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other severe weather conditions for providing humanitarian relief.  This, along with their increasing usage in transporting ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations, is strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, key players are introducing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that is made from renewable feedstock, such as waste oils, plant oils, and agricultural residues, to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. They are also focusing on launching biofuels that are produced from biological materials, such as plants, algae, and waste biomass, to improve the sustainability of the industry. Additionally, the growing demand for air freight as it is the fastest way of transporting goods internationally is creating a positive outlook for the market.
