How Has the Very Light Jet Market Evolved Historically and What is its Current Size
The very light jet market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for very light jets has experienced a surge in growth recently. Projected figures suggest that it will increase from $5.5 billion in 2024 to $6.1 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%.
The historic period's escalation is credited to factors such as aviation regulation alterations, international economic patterns, variability in fuel costs, infrastructure progression, and the increased focus on environmentally friendly aviation.
What Is The Projected Growth And Market Size For The Very Light Jet
The very light jet market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for a rapid expansion in the very light jet market over the upcoming years. The projected value of the market is set to reach $9.03 billion by 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.3%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the forecast period include the growing preference for private aviation, global tourism patterns, increasing focus on health issues, rising number of air passengers, and expansion of aviation infrastructure projects. Key trends anticipated during this forecast period encompass the emergence of electric or hybrid-electric propulsion systems, the rise of subscription-based ownership models, the use of alternative and sustainable aviation fuels, development of human-machine interfaces (HMI), and the introduction of advanced materials.
What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Very Light Jet Market?
The increase in usage of private aviation alternatives is anticipated to spur a substantial expansion in the very light jet market. Private aviation encompasses non-civil aviation operations, utilized specifically by individuals for personal requirements with private aircraft not employed for commercial passenger or cargo transport. Very light jets are popular in private aviation, typically for business travel, short distance journeys requiring no more than three hours flying time, or for destinations often inaccessible to commercial airlines, due to being a cost-effective operation. For example, in July 2022, as reported by the U.K-based Jet Zero Strategic Initiative, significant progress has been achieved, with Phillips 66 manufacturing the first commercially viable sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the UK. We've set aside $ 233.47 (£180 million) to assist with the development of a UK-based SAF industry, with the objective of attracting further private investment to set up our own SAF plants. The aim is to have at least five of these facilities under construction by 2025. Thus, the increased adoption of private aviation alternatives is projected to drive the growth in the very light jet market.
