The global light-sport aircraft market size reached US$ 1.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 1.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.24% during 2023-2032.
A light-sport aircraft (LSA) is a small aircraft with two seats and a maximum take-off weight of 600 kgs. It also has an engine, fixed-pitch or ground adjustable propeller, unpressurized cabin, fixed landing gear, gyroplanes, gliders, powered parachutes, airships, and air balloons. As it is lightweight, non-complex, easy to fly, and less expensive compared to other aircraft, LSA finds extensive applications in sports, recreational activities, and flying training. At present, there is a rise in its utilization in recreational activities due to the expanding travel and tourism industry around the world.
In line with this, the growing utilization of LSA in agriculture for dusting or spraying large acreages with pesticides is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, the escalating demand for certification courses of hobby flying activities among individuals is bolstering the market growth. Other factors strengthening the growth of the market include rising research and development (R&D) activities and collaboration of various aircraft manufacturers to develop enhanced technologies for urban air mobility solutions.
