North America currently holds a considerable portion of the market and is anticipated to grow at a significant pace in the coming years. The presence of developed aviation infrastructure in the United States is driving the market expansion in the region. Furthermore, the rising demand for fixed-wing aircraft is adding to general aviation market expansion.
Due to helicopter services (such as air taxis, air ambulances, and so on), the demand for civil helicopters is increasing in this region, which is anticipated to assist in expanding the market in the following years. Moreover, growing investments by aerospace businesses in the adoption of urban air mobility in North American airspace are likely to propel the growth of the market in North America over the forecast period.
On the other hand, in the Europe general aviation market, a growing number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are turning to private jets for their travel within the region. This trend is largely driven by the cancellation of many intra-region commercial flights, a situation exacerbated by staff shortages in the airline sector.
