Aviation Gasoline Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Aircraft Type (Fixed-Wing, Rotorcraft and Other Aircraft Types), Fuel Type (Air Turbine Fuel, AVGAS and Aviation Biofuel), End User and By Geography

Aviation Gasoline Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Aircraft Type (Fixed-Wing, Rotorcraft and Other Aircraft Types), Fuel Type (Air Turbine Fuel, AVGAS and Aviation Biofuel), End User and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aviation Gasoline Market is accounted for $2.11 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.44 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Aviation gasoline, commonly referred to as avgas, is the most frequently used fuel for aircraft with piston-turbine engines. They are employed in airplanes powered by internal combustion engines that are started using spark plugs. Avgas, often known as aviation gasoline, is perfect for high-altitude flight since it has a lower freezing point. They have the strength and height to raise massive aircraft carriers. In the aviation sector, fuels including avgas 100, avgas 10LL, avgas 80, avgas 115, and avgas UL91/94 are utilized. Avgas with a reduced lead concentration, like avgas 100LL, has been developed as a result of product developments and is now being used more frequently in the aviation industry.

According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the U.S. is home to more than 211,000 aircraft, more than 143,000 of them being piston-engine aircraft

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Demand to reduce emissions

With growing concerns over environmental impacts and climate change, the aviation industry faces increasing pressure to mitigate its carbon footprint. Aviation gasoline, commonly known as avgas, plays a crucial role in powering general aviation aircraft, such as piston-engine planes. Historically, avgas has been associated with higher lead content, resulting in harmful emissions. However, the focus on sustainability and environmental regulations has prompted the aviation industry to seek cleaner and more eco-friendly alternatives. The demand for aviation gasoline is thus shifting towards more sustainable options, driven by the imperative to curb emissions and create a greener future for the aviation industry.

Restraint:

The emergence of hybrid and electric aviation carriers

In order to reduce emissions from gasoline-powered aircraft, both public and private aviation industry companies have been pushed to create hybrid, electric, or hybrid-electric vehicles. By reducing their supply through western sanctions, the pandemic, trade disputes, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict have further aggravated the position on the crude oil market. Due to the unpredictability of aviation fuel, supply chain constraints, and rising crude oil prices, hybrid and electric carriers have become a profitable option for the market players. As a result, the development and uptake of hybrid and electric aircraft will restrain the expansion of the worldwide aviation fuel industry.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements and product innovations

The concern of owners and operators in the aviation sector about the deteriorating safety standards in the sector has increased research and development of better aircraft carriers with greater quality, safety, and comfort. For market companies with a growing client base, the increased investments in improving the avionics of the aircraft will present attractive chances. With more global R&D, the adoption of AI in aviation powered by gasoline is also gaining ground. Aircraft can increase the range of their surveillance and enhance target identification thanks to AI-enhanced photography and navigation.

Threat:

Growing preference for hybrid and electric aircraft

As the aviation industry intensifies efforts to reduce its environmental impact and transition towards more sustainable practices, electric and hybrid-electric aircraft have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-powered planes. These eco-friendly aircraft offer lower emissions, reduced noise levels, and increased fuel efficiency, aligning with the industry's goals for environmental sustainability. Additionally, electric and hybrid-electric aircraft gain traction, there is a potential shift away from conventional aviation gasoline demand. Airlines and aviation operators are exploring these cleaner alternatives to comply with stringent emissions regulations and meet customer demands for greener travel options.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic had negatively affected the aviation fuel market due to restrictions on international flights and negligible domestic air travel by citizens of almost all countries. As an example, in the United States, during the first week of July 2020, domestic air travel was down by 71% and international travel was down by 93% compared to last year. The number of scheduled departures decreased from 877,029 in January 2020 to 69,245 at the start of June 2020. The aviation fuel market is likely to grow more due to the continuous fuel demand from commercial aircraft for the transportation of essential commodities and defense applications.

The private segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The private segment held the largest share in the market owing to the increasing demand. The main element fueling the segment's expansion is the rising demand for business aviation from an expanding population of high-net-worth individuals. The segment has developed greatly as a result of the growing number of companies in the market who offer privately chartered flights for emergencies, air sports, business, tourism, and other purposes. Because they save time and give passengers more convenience, private flights are becoming more popular and preferred in wealthier countries.

The fixed-wing segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the projection period, the fixed-wing segment is expected to have the greatest CAGR. Fixed-wing aircraft run on both piston and turbine engines. The market for aviation gasoline is dominated by fixed-wing aircraft because it is largely utilized in piston turbine engines. The hefty, fixed-wing aircraft go across great distances. In order to lift and transport such huge aircraft carriers over long distances, gasoline is preferable than hybrid or electric fuels. its segment in the global aviation gasoline market is substantial due to its use in both commercial and military applications.

Region with largest share:

The North America region market is estimated to witness the highest share of the global Aviation Gasoline market during the forecast period. North America is a key player in the Aviation Gasoline Market, owing to its robust aviation industry and extensive air transportation network. The region encompasses major aviation hubs, busy airports, and a significant number of general aviation aircraft, which collectively drive the demand for aviation gasoline. North America's extensive network of commercial airlines and private aircraft operators rely heavily on aviation gasoline, commonly known as avgas, to power their piston-engine planes.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is expected to have the highest growth rate over the forecast period. Asia Pacific holds significant potential in the Aviation Gasoline Market, being a region of rapid economic growth and burgeoning aviation activities. The increasing air travel demand, rising disposable incomes, and expansion of commercial and general aviation fleets in countries like China, India, Japan, and Southeast Asian nations drive the consumption of aviation gasoline. The region's burgeoning middle-class population is fueling air travel growth, further bolstering the demand for aviation fuel.
