Soaring High: Global Commercial Aviation Turbofan Engines Market Predictions for 2024

DUBLIN, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new comprehensive analysis titled "Global Commercial Aviation Turbofan Engines Market - 2024" which provides a detailed predictive market outlook for 2024 including key trends, strategic insights, and growth opportunities, has been introduced to the offerings of ResearchAndMarkets.com.

An In-Depth Look at the Aviation Market's Rebound

It appears that the Global Commercial Aviation Market is finally ascending from the depths of the crisis experienced over the past few years. With passenger traffic and fleet utilization not only recovering but exceeding the pre-pandemic benchmarks of 2019, the industry is witnessing airlines gradually entering the profitability zone for 2023. This marks a significant turnaround from the previous period of market devastation and instability. According to data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), airlines’ offered passenger flights are anticipated to surpass pre-pandemic levels for the first time in 2024. This surge in passenger traffic is expected to further leverage fleet utilization, optimize load factors, thereby propelling passenger revenues and revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs).

Despite this optimistic uptick, airlines' profitability remains troublingly low. For the year 2023, the net profit margin was a mere 2+% with a profit of $23+ billion, which translates to just $5+ per passenger in revenues. This figure lies well below the cost of capital, indicating an ongoing financial tightrope. Yet, projections for 2024 suggest a slight improvement, albeit with a continuation of a lower cost base.

The resurgence in demand coupled with supply-side constraints has given rise to improved aircraft yield and profitability. These constraints, caused by ongoing supply chain challenges, are also predicted to drive a surge in Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) demand and activity levels. Such an increase is poised to contribute positively to the industry’s MRO revenues in the near to medium term.

In this environment of burgeoning demand, high crude oil prices loom as a significant concern, gnawing at the margins of airlines. Additionally, the aviation sector is pouring investments into sustainability initiatives, aiming to reduce carbon emissions even amidst a tight capital market with persistently high-interest rates.

Navigating Current and Emerging Challenges

The industry has witnessed a steady recovery in the sphere of commercial aircraft turbofan engines. The year 2023 showcased a gradual ramp-up in the production of commercial engines. Manufacturers are navigating through supply chain issues with a view to escalating production rates, which did witness a significant increase in 2023 despite supplier challenges. However, concerns have been raised over durability issues with Pratt & Whitney's PW1000 engine family, which have impacted the capacity of the global narrowbody fleet. Concurrent with these capacity issues, additional pressure has been applied by the discovery of ongoing quality issues within Boeing's 737 MAX program.

Global Economic Headwinds and Geopolitical Instability

The global economy is bracing itself for a potential slowdown in 2024, coming in the wake of central banks' continuous tightening of monetary policies over recent years to curb inflationary pressures. Geopolitical turmoil, including the prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict now entering its third year, and the Israeli military actions in Gaza have further strained the situation, keeping the entire Middle East region on tenterhooks. The global economic growth rate is forecasted to remain low, averaging less than 3% annually, with the risk that another significant shock could plunge the economy into a recessionary phase.
