Australia Aviation Market Outlook

The Australia aviation market size is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% between 2024 and 2032. The market is being aided by the robust growth of the air transport sector and growing attempts to surge the sustainability of the aircraft sector.

Key Trends in the Market

Aviation refers to activities encompassing the aircraft sectors and different aspects of air travel. It also encompasses activities, including military aviation, aircraft manufacturing, airlines, and research companies, among others. While military aviation refers to aircraft use within military settings and facilitates aerial warfare, civil aviation represents non-governmental and non-military applications.

• The air transport sector is one of the largest contributors to the Australian economy, along with one of the largest employers in the country. This, coupled with growing domestic and international travel, is supporting the Australia aviation market growth. In addition, the expansion of airport infrastructure and increasing aviation capacity are positively impacting the market growth.

• Some key Australia aviation market trends include the growing attempts to enhance the sustainability of aircraft and the increasing investments in the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) by the Australian government and key players. For instance, in June 2022 Airbus and Qantas Airways announced an investment of USD 200 million for the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to lower carbon emissions of the airline in Australia.

• The Australia aviation market expansion is being fuelled by the development of advanced aviation technologies by key players. Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are expected to optimise aircraft maintenance, improve flight safety, enhance customer experience, stimulate system failures and flight conditions, and improve pilot training.

• The development of autonomous aircraft that can increase safety, lower the risk of human errors, and reduce operating costs is anticipated to favour the market demand in the forecast period.
