Come Meet the Demand in China
The Chinese aviation market is set for tremendous growth in the coming decades.
China’s domestic air passenger traffic surpassed 2019 levels in 2023, and more than doubled from 2022 to 2023, reaching 590 million. Over the next 20 years, China’s air traffic is forecast to grow at 5.3% annually, significantly faster than the world average of 3.6%.
Explosive growth also means booming demand for civil aviation suppliers and services providers. In response, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has strongly prioritized the industry in its current development plans. By the end of 2025, China will have over 270 civil transport airports which will handle 17 million takeoffs and landings annually.
At the same time, plans call for the establishment of green aviation manufacturing systems, mainstream deployment of new energy aircraft, and the commercialization of new aviation technology such as unmanned and electric aircraft.
Through 2042…
40% of global demand will be in Asia-Pacific Market
50% of that total will come from China alone
Asia-Pacific will see above average growth over the next 20 years
