The Aviation fuel Market is estimated in terms of market size to be USD 200.21 billion in 2024 to USD 325.98 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.5% and in terms of volume to be 86.20 billion gallons in 2024 to 132.80 billion gallons by 2030 at a CAGR of 7.5% t during the forecast period. The aviation fuel market is experiencing growth due to factors such as increasing air travel demand, government and military air transportation needs, and stringent environmental regulations. Exxon Mobil Corporation (US), Chevron Corporation (US), BP P.l.C (UK), Shell (UK), and TotalEnergies (France) are some of the leading players operating in the aviation fuel market.
“The Power-to-Liquid of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) segment will account for the fastest growing market share in the aviation fuel market during the forecast period.”
The aviation fuel market has been segmented into Conventional and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) based on Fuel type. The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) segment is projected to grow at the highest market share during the forecast period 2024 to 2030. The Power-to-Liquid segment is expected to account for the fastest-growing market under Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Power-to-liquid is the process of synthesis of liquid fuels by combining green hydrogen, which is generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar, with captured carbon dioxide. This innovative process opens up a sustainable and scalable pathway towards decarbonizing aviation and meets even the stringent global net-zero emissions targets. The Power-to-Liquid segment is also particularly attractive due to its compatibility with current aviation infrastructure and engines through broad compatibility without fundamental modification. A number of factors are driving the uptake of PtL, including high investments, government incentives, and the collaboration of energy companies with other aviation stakeholders. Also, the low cost of renewable energy and improvements in electrolysis technology are making Power-to-Liquid fuels economically more viable. The increasing demand for sustainable solutions in aviation makes the Power-to-Liquid segment crucial in meeting the sustainability goals of the industry and helping it move away from fossil-based fuels.
“The Government & Military segment will account for the largest market share in the aviation fuel market during the forecast period.”
The aviation fuel has been segmented into Airline, Non-Scheduled Operator, and Government & Military based on the end user. The Government & Military segment is expected to hold the maximum market share from 2024 to 2030. Military aviation is very fuel-intensive as it is used for many different operations, such as troop transport, reconnaissance, training missions, and combat activities. This end contributes to a larger budget allocated globally by governments towards the maintenance and modernization of air fleets and ensuring readiness to perform their assigned missions as efficiently as possible. The government and Military are at the forefront of the acceptance of SAF, which provides a means for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the energy security portfolio.
“The North American market is estimated to lead the market.”
The North American aviation fuel market is expected to lead the market during the forecast period of 2024–2030. The region has a strong and developed aviation industry in place. As such, some of the world's busiest airports, as well as the leading airlines, exist in countries like the United States and Canada. Canada is the fastest-growing country in the North American aviation fuel market. Various factors, like increasing air traffic, cargo operations, and defense aviation activities, contribute to the region's dominance. North America also has a strong economic performance and high trade networks which increases the need for both commercial and military aviation fuel need.
