The aircraft engines market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the aircraft engines market has been consistently expanding over the recent years. The market worth is expected to increase from $53.48 billion in 2024 to $55.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.0%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include the expansion of commercial aviation, advances in technology, regulatory stipulations, and the modernization of airline fleets.
The aircraft engines market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The steady expansion of the aircraft engines market is projected to continue in the coming years, with its worth anticipated to reach $63.04 billion in 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%.
Factors such as sustainable aviation, budding technologies, the expanding markets of emerging economies, and urban air mobility (UAM) are all set to contribute to this growth in the forecast period. Prevailing trends likely to shape the market in the future include the push towards fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, the advent of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, the rise of high bypass turbofans, and the development of geared turbofan engines.
The aircraft engine market is predicted to flourish due to increasing air passenger traffic over the projection period. For example, in February 2023, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations’ Canada-based specialized agency regulating international civil aviation, reported a 47% global increase in air passenger volume in 2022 compared to 2021. Additionally, there was a 70% rise in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs) in comparison to 2021. Several airlines are looking to update their fleet by investing in new planes to cater to the growing air traffic, leading to increased demand for new engines. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has revealed projections that, by 2037, the passenger count could potentially reach 8.2 billion, twice the current figure. As such, the expanding air passenger traffic is a major driving factor for the growth of the aircraft engine market.

Leading corporations in the aircraft engines market are concentrating on the design and execution of technologically sophisticated schemes like hybrid electric engines to address numerous pivotal demands in the industry. Hybrid electric engines are power arrangements that blend classical internal combustion engines (ICE) with electric propulsion systems with the goal of enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing emission levels, and boosting overall performance. For instance, GE Aerospace, a US-based aerospace firm, began the development of a hybrid electric model engine by altering its pre-existing Passport engines in partnership with NASA in June 2024. This endeavor is a constituent of NASA's Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) initiative, aiming to incorporate electric motor/generators into the engine for improved performance and reduced fuel usage. Preliminary tests of these electric elements have been carried out successfully.
