Low Cost Carrier Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Low Cost Carrier Market
The low cost carrier market size was valued at USD 270.42 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 316.97 billion in 2024 to USD 1054.19 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period of 2023-2032.
To the travellers concerned, the COVID-19 pandemic was a distinctive phenomenon, especially considering the situation with the Low Cost Carriers (LCC). Quarantining rules, lockdowns, and the negative effect caused by the decrease in customer confidence led to substantial fall down of the number of passengers, what affected immensely the revenue for the LCCs. The financial situation for numerous airlines was critical putting employment at risk, closing fleets on the ground, and even the market ending in bankruptcy for some. Nevertheless, the general situation of a timely recovery of a domestic travel and its speed difference to international travel, have helped LCC start a slow renaissance through using their low cost model to get cheap travelers. This led to a stable increase in the low cost carrier market growth.
Operating aircraft of low cost is also a part of the market growth, since a large savings in the maintenance cost is achieved. The contemporary LCC planes are configured with shortened turn around points in mind. Thus, they would minimize the time spent on the ground between flights by flying them more often, increasing the output of airplane operation at the same time. The lower downtime signifies lesser downtime repairs and frequent use. Therefore, airplanes will have a low maintenance cost and high operational use respectively. In case of the airline, LCC as a rule operates multiple-e standard aircraft types which allow it to come up with great results when negotiating with aircraft manufacturers and maintenance providers. This factor drives the low cost carrier market share.
The network point-to-point does not bother about the directness in the route of connections, provided that there is no disruption of transportation supply. The star network is a prime example of how all the locations are connected with a single intermediate site that is the hub. The point-to-point business model in airline industry implies a strategy in which the airline flies passenger directly between particular city pairs without intermediary stops or hubs. The mission of such models is to decrease travel time, provide service and thus make it more competitive due to decrease in operative costs.
Comprehensive Analysis of Low Cost Carrier Market
The low cost carrier market and aerospace & defence industry is rising at an exponential rate due to its market segmentation. This market expansion effectively provides a detailed regional assessment considering the dominant supply and demand forces that impact the aerospace & defence industry. These segmentations are methodically segregated By Aircraft Type Analysis, By Destination Analysis and By Haul Analysis. The segmentation of the market was performed by aircraft type that had narrow body, wide body and others. It is a wide body segment that can be considered a dominating one, and has the highest potential for staying in the lead over the forecasting period. Due to the target, the market is broken down locally and globally. The international portion constitutes the dearth of this market due to the rising number of international routes and operations of airlines including to expand their business. Haul is thus the market’s bifurcation factor where long haul and short haul are the other parts of the market. The long haul sector was so far Biggest in 2023. Long flight destinations will hold the attention of most of the passengers who fly because of the cheap fare and nonstop flights.
Asia Pacific held the largest market share in 2023. The region was valued at USD 104.73 billion in the year 2023.The evolution of low-cost carriers is because of the better network throughout the region to advertise and develop unutilized routes and regional voyaging.
The top players in the market play a crucial role in the aerospace & defence industry assuring industrial prospectus growth and setting market standards. These players include, Air Asia (India), Ryanair (Ireland), Indigo (India), Scoot (Singapore), Southwest Airlines (U.S.), Eurowings (Germany), flydubai (UAE), Virgin Australia (Australia), JetBlue Airlines (U.S.), Wizz Air (Hungary) and Spirit Airlines (U.S.).
June 2023, A Ukrainian budget airline SkyUp Airlines LLC plans to operate charter flights to the U.S. with the help of single-aisle Boeing 737s, after U.S. Department of Transportation has issued the airline with the “Certificate for Foreign Air Carriers” based on the newest simple procedure.
