Commercial Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The rise in the procurement rate of new-generation aircraft is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as high production costs and delays in engine deliveries may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Commercial Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Market Driver
The rise in the procurement rate of new-generation aircraft is notably driving market growth. Due to the increase in air travel, it is anticipated that air traffic will double over the next 15 years. Only if airline operators purchase new aircraft to meet the increased demand can this year-over-year increase in air traffic be maintained. To ensure the scheduled deliveries, major aircraft OEMs have started renovating their current production facilities.
Airbus has been concentrating on improving its A320neo series of aircraft recently. The new A321neo aircraft, which is an A320 with a narrower body and two CFM LEAP-A twin engines, is thought to be 15% more fuel-efficient than its forerunners. The purchase of the A320neo aircraft and its successors has been motivated by increased efficiency combined with reduced noise generation. Additionally, the market will continue to be significantly driven by the rising new generation of fuel-efficient aircraft. Hence, such factors will boost market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Commercial Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Market Trends
The usage of ceramic matrix composites is an emerging trend in the market growth. A treated short carbon fiber or whisker matrix is the foundation of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), which can be oxide- or non-oxide-based. They weigh approximately 66% less than nickel (Ni) superalloys, which were previously employed in engines. Additionally, they can function at temperatures higher than 500 degrees Fahrenheit, which is higher than the endurance limit of their nickel superalloy counterparts.
By using CMC products, engines can achieve a higher service temperature and greater efficiency in one of two ways, either through a reduction in the amount of cooling air diverted or through a reduction in fuel consumption brought on by higher engine temperatures. These two elements help to improve engine efficiency by raising the amount of thrust produced per unit of fuel. For example, since 2016, CFM International has adopted CMC-coated goods for its LEAP series of engines. Even at 2,400 degrees F, the LEAP engines can operate effectively. Hence, such benefits will increase the adoption rate of CMC products, which in turn, will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Major Commercial Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Market Challenge
High production costs and delays in engine deliveries are major challenges impeding market growth. An aircraft engine's price can be divided into production and associative development costs. An increase in either of these costs has the potential to cause an unforeseen escalation in costs and delivery time extensions. A modern aircraft engine is the result of years of component-level R&D, each improvement in the technology of related components can open up a brand-new field of study. Before releasing the new engine on the market, such development activities are carried out for a long time and include several hours of meticulous testing and documentation in order to produce the best results.
Despite the thorough testing, there is no guarantee that the engine will run without problems after it is put into service. Rectification efforts are very expensive and necessitate that manufacturers not only redesign essential parts but also replace them in the aircraft engines that have already been delivered. These failures also impede the development and delivery of other models that are in the works, which reduces the overall number of delivery goals that are met in a fiscal year and results in losses throughout the supply chain. Hence, these factors will have a negative impact on the global market during the forecast period.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Commercial Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Market?
The market share growth by the turbofan segment will be significant during the forecast period. The most popular gas turbine engine technology is the turbofan, which is integrated into commercial airliners. As technological advancements aimed at producing more fuel-efficient engines drive the market for commercial aircraft gas turbine engines, engine OEMs are investing billions of dollars in R&D activities that could potentially change the face of aviation in the future. For example, the development of a new Power Gearbox, which Rolls-Royce is currently working on, is expected to reduce fuel consumption in its large turbofan models by 25% when compared to the Trent 700 model.

The turbofan segment was valued at USD 23,065.51 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The increased demand for commercial aircraft is a result of an increase in air travel worldwide, which has compelled airlines to buy newer models of aircraft in order to maintain profitability. This has led to increased orders for gas turbine engines as an aircraft is designed to work with only specific types of engines. There is a sizable backlog of orders for well-known engine OEMs, totaling more than USD 140 billion. As part of its USD1.3 billion organization-wide capital investment strategy to increase the production of its geared turbofan engines, Pratt & Whitney has invested USD 97 million in a new fan blade manufacturing facility at its AutoAir complex in Michigan. Similar efforts to boost production have been undertaken through the expansion of existing facilities by other OEMs such as Rolls-Royce, Safran Aircraft Engines, and GE Aviation. Thus, owing to such factors the segment is expected to grow during the forecast period.

The efforts to collaborate with suppliers have produced international networks, which have increased the industry's overall capabilities. Additionally, the players have been involved in the development. For instance, in June 2021, Airbus decided to concentrate its efforts on metallic hydrogen tanks in a complementary setup by creating Zero-Emission Development Centres (ZEDCs) at its sites in Bremen (Germany) and in Nantes (France). The goal of these ZEDCs is to achieve cost-competitive cryogenic tank manufacturing to support the successful future market launch of ZEROe (Zero-emission) aircraft and accelerate the development of hydrogen propulsion technologies. Furthermore, many European carriers have gone on a buying spree as a result of the rise in air passenger traffic, with the goal of expanding their fleet in order to meet the rising demand for air travel. Hence, all the abovementioned factors will boost the market growth during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, negatively affected the market growth in the region. However, the lifting of lockdowns in Europe due to the initiation of large-scale COVID-19 vaccination drives in 2021 resulted in the restoration of operations across aircraft gas turbine engine production plants. This helped boost the demand for aircraft gas turbine engines in Europe. Thus, the regional market will witness growth during the forecast period.
