Global Tanker Aircraft Market Size study & Forecast, by Type (Fixed Wing Tanker Aircraft, Rotary Wing Tanker Aircraft), By Application (Military, Commercial) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029
Global Tanker Aircraft Market is valued approximately USD XX billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Tanker Aircraft is a type of aircraft utilized for arial refueling applications. It has application in transferring aviation fuel from one military aircraft to another during the flight. The tanker aircraft flies straight and level and extends the fuel hose that trail out behind and below the tanker under normal aerodynamic forces. The growing military expenditure worldwide and increasing procurement of combat aircraft as well as strategic initiatives from leading market players are key factors accelerating the market growth.
The increasing spending on military budget worldwide is key factor contributing to the growth of the Global Tanker Aircraft Market. For instance, as per Stockholm International Peace Research Institute is an international institute (SIPRI) – in 2020, the global military expenditure was estimated at USD 1981 billion, which further increased to USD 2113 billion, witnessing an increase of over 0.7 percent. Furthermore, US spend highest spending of military budget with USD 801 billion, followed by China with USD 293 billion and India with USD 76.6 billion. Also, rising development of advanced aerial tankers and growing investment in automatic refueling system would create lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, the high maintenance cost associated with Tanker Aircraft impedes the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Tanker Aircraft Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America is the leading region in terms of market share due to factors such as presence of leading market players as well as increasing spending on defense advancements in the region. Whereas Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising military spending and increasing penetration of leading market players in the region.
