Global piston engine aircraft market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.23%, during the forecast period, 2018 - 2022.

Market Dynamics

The increasing air passenger traffic, driven by the economic development in various countries, has boosted the piston engine market. The trend of piston engine aircraft in the global market is accelerating the demand for fuel-efficient aircraft. These demands are expected to boost the introduction of more budget air carriers among companies, thus accelerating the market growth in the future. Moreover, the sales of piston aircraft are expected to witness a significant boost from the emerging markets, where improving infrastructure will enable people to buy piston engine aircraft.

Geographical Analysis

North America and Europe have the largest number of individual users, due to the presence of infrastructure required for such airplanes. Such small aircraft use small airfields; such airfields are present outside the North America and Europe. Hence, this factor greatly decelerates the demand for piston engine aircraft. India and China are expected to be the greatest contributors to the market in future. In India, particularly, there are extremely few flying general aviation aircraft, due to the extremely strict regulatory environment. However, the demand for aircraft, with the developing infrastructure, is accelerating in the country. Asia-Pacific currently holds just 12% of the piston engine aircraft market, however, is expected to contribute significantly to the market by 2023. The Middle East & Africa is also expected to witness impressive growth rates and reach double-digit market share in the future.
