Global Glider Aircraft Market to Reach US$ 6,344 Million by 2028, Stimulated by the Growing Interest in Recreational Aviation Activities

October 10, 2023 | Aerospace and Defense

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Glider Aircraft Market Report by Type (Sailplane, Hang Glider), Propulsion (Powered, Non-powered), Application (Commercial, Military, and Others), and Region 2023-2028,” the global glider aircraft market size reached US$ 3,520 Million in 2022. A glider aircraft, often referred to as a glider, is a type of aircraft designed to fly without the use of an engine. It is engineered to achieve sustained flight by exploiting the atmospheric currents and thermal updrafts. There are various types of gliders, including sailplanes, hang gliders, and paragliders, each differing in design, utility, and maneuverability. Sailplanes, for instance, are characterized by their sleek appearance and long wings, optimized for extended flight durations. Gliders offer several advantages over traditional aircraft. They operate silently, have fewer mechanical complexities due to the absence of engines, and present an eco-friendly alternative to powered flight. Additionally, flying a glider is often considered a pure form of aviation, allowing pilots to harness the natural forces of the atmosphere to stay aloft.

Global Glider Aircraft Market Trends:

The global market is majorly driven by the increasing interest in recreational aviation activities. Gliding has become a popular sport, and many enthusiasts are attracted to its sheer thrill and serenity. Additionally, the lower operational and maintenance costs associated with gliders, compared to engine-powered aircraft, have been a notable factor in promoting their adoption. Along with this, the use of gliders for training purposes has been on the rise, as they provide an ideal platform for budding pilots to hone their skills in flight mechanics and aircraft handling. Concurrently, the escalating shift towards sustainable and green aviation solutions is influencing interest in gliders, given their minimal environmental footprint. Apart from this, advancements in glider design, emphasizing enhanced aerodynamics and the integration of lightweight materials, are catering to performance and efficiency demands. Furthermore, the emergence of electric-powered gliders with minimal emissions showcases a trend blending sustainability with modern innovation, creating a positive market outlook. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 6,344 Million by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 10.40% during 2023-2028.
