Global Commercial Aviation Market in a Stable Trajectory for the Near to Medium Term

This Strategy Playbooks report analyses & traces the overall Strategy Focus and provides deep & invaluable insights into the Key Strategies & Plans being pursued by the World's Top 4 Commercial Aviation Turbofan Engines manufacturing companies for the near to medium term horizon. The Global Commercial Aviation market has been in a stable, high growth trajectory since the end of pandemic with the recovery led by the narrow body segment and the wide body market still recovering steadily.

The market has witnessed steady order intake, strong book-to-bill ratios & burgeoning order backlogs across most industry OEMs, driven by the growing demand for new aircrafts amid continued production capacity constraints across the industry OEMs as the value chains are still recovering from the pandemic blues, especially at the engine OEMs level, which has deferred the plans by the aircraft OEMs to ramp-up production rates for years.

It has created a demand side driven market scenario where demand outpaces supply which has brought even a number of used aircrafts, which were in storage, back to the market and has also deferred in-service fleet replacement decisions by the airlines while also boosting in-service fleet utilization levels which has exceeded even the pre-pandemic levels and also revitalized even the used aircraft market. The surge in passenger traffic and supply side constraints on available capacity, due to supply chain issues, are likely to lead to improved fleet and capacity utilization driving up yield & profitability while also boosting MRO demand & activity levels translating into substantial projected MRO revenues growth for the industry over near to medium term

Commercial Aviation Engine OEMs in Firefighting Mode to Address Demand Overload

The Commercial Aviation engine OEMs are, thus, are in a difficult spot where they have to sort out the supply chain issues to be able to ramp-up production rates over near term, as mandated by the aircraft OEMs, to meet aircraft delivery schedules and timelines. Alongside, they are also working hard to expand MRO capacity to address in-service engine durability issues on their latest engine programs, namely, CFM’s LEAP and Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engines family in the narrow body and the Trent 1000 engines in the wide body segment.

Additionally, they are also allocating resources to support old, in-service CFM56 and V2500 engines which reach their overhaul stage while also dedicating resources towards R&D to develop next generation engines and engine technologies to meet long-term sustainability goals and challenges. For instance, GE Aerospace with its 9X engine, which is the world’s largest engine which is going to power the Boeing’s 777X, and the RISE engine program for narrow bodies, under CFM International. Rolls Royce, too, is developing its UltraFan engine for the next generation narrow body aircrafts

Geopolitical Tensions & Conflicts, Trade Wars Biggest Near Term Threats to World Economic Growth

However, continued geopolitical tensions and the renewed trade wars under Trump Administration 2.0, amid a complex, difficult & challenging global macroeconomic environment, collectively threaten to derail the economic recovery made so far since the pandemic. The global macroeconomic challenges include a rapidly slowing world economic growth despite cooling inflation levels along with an imminent shift in monetary policy from tightening towards loosening to spur economic growth and the relative easing of supply chain woes globally amid continued geopolitical uncertainty marked by rising tensions & military conflicts in the Middle East and Europe, with Iran and Ukraine as the respective regional conflict epicenters. Overall, the world economic growth is projected to remain limited to 2.3% for 2025 which is almost 540 bps below the average GDP growth rate for the average pre-pandemic growth rate registered through the 2010s decade
