C-Parts Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rise in Orders and Deliveries of Aircraft Worldwide
The aviation industry has evolved rapidly over the years, recording a significant number of aircraft production and deliveries. As per the data published by Airbus in January 2024, Airbus delivered 735 commercial aircraft globally in 2023, up by 11% from 2022. Further, Airbus forecasts that more than 18,900 commercial aircraft are expected to be delivered in Asia Pacific countries between 2023 and 2042. Moreover, there is a rise in traveling activities across the globe. As per the data published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 2024, the total passenger air traffic globally increased by 10% in 2024 from 2023. This increased demand for air traveling directly affects the need for MRO activities and spare parts requirements. In addition, primary, secondary, and tertiary airports continue to expand. For instance, since 2022, the governments of China and India announced their plans to construct 216 and 72 new airports, respectively, by the end of 2035. Moreover, many airlines are strategically prioritizing network expansion by inaugurating routes to underserved and geographically remote regional airports. With the increasing number of aircraft, airports, and MRO facilities, the demand for C-parts is increasing in tandem across different aircraft manufacturing sites in the region.
