Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Offtake Agreement Market Global Report 2026

The sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreement market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.93 billion in 2025 to $6.35 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing environmental awareness and sustainability initiatives in the aviation sector, early experimentation with biofuel blending in commercial aircraft, volatility in crude oil prices encouraging alternative fuel adoption, introduction of the ICAO CORSIA regulatory framework, and initial voluntary net-zero commitments by airlines.

The sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreement market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.1%. The forecast period growth can be attributed to expansion of mandatory sustainable aviation fuel blending regulations, strengthening of carbon pricing and emissions trading systems, scaling of e-SAF and power-to-liquid technologies, rising long-term offtake agreements with airlines, and increased investment in SAF production infrastructure. Key trends include long-term airline decarbonization commitments, growth of SAF credit trading and book-and-claim mechanisms, development of indexed pricing and risk-sharing contract models, improved feedstock traceability and certification standards, and strategic airline-producer partnerships in SAF production.

The increasing crude oil prices are expected to drive the growth of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreement market going forward. Crude oil prices refer to the prevailing rates at which raw petroleum is bought and sold in global markets, typically quoted on a per-barrel basis. Crude oil prices are often influenced by supply disruptions, such as reduced production or geopolitical conflicts in major oil-producing regions, which constrain global supply and push market prices higher. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreements help reduce reliance on crude oil by securing long-term adoption of alternative aviation fuels, thereby lowering exposure to volatile crude oil price fluctuations in the aviation sector. For instance, in January 2026, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a U.S.-based semi-independent agency, crude oil first purchase prices increased from $58.44 per barrel in January to $62.44 per barrel in February. Therefore, the rising crude oil prices are driving the growth of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreement market.

Leading companies operating in the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offtake agreement market are focusing on establishing long-term fuel supply partnerships to accelerate aviation decarbonization, strengthen regional SAF infrastructure, and support corporate sustainability targets. Long-term fuel supply partnerships are strategic agreements between fuel suppliers and buyers that ensure stable fuel availability over extended periods while reducing supply risks and supporting long-term operational planning. For example, in May 2026, DHL Express, a Germany-based international logistics company, signed a 10-year SAF offtake agreement with SAF One, a UAE-based sustainable aviation fuel developer, to secure 25,000 metric tons of unblended SAF annually from SAF One’s Bahrain production facility beginning in 2028. The agreement integrates the Middle East’s first SAF production plant into DHL’s global SAF supply network and supports the company’s goal of increasing SAF usage to 30% by 2030 while enabling measurable lifecycle CO₂ emission reductions across its regional and international air transport operations.

In February 2025, Haffner Energy SA, a France-based engineering firm, joined forces with ATOBA Energ SAS to enhance and scale the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) value chain by facilitating bankable long-term offtake agreements and speeding up SAF project development.
