KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

The aviation gasoline (Avgas) market size was USD 2.26 billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow from USD 2.42 billion in 2023 to USD 3.46 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.19% during the forecast period.


Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) is generally used to power piston-engine aircraft. At typical operating temperatures, it is highly flammable and primarily determined by its octane rating. Avgas was used in many grades, including 80/87, 91/96, 100/130, 108/135, and 115/145. Due to the declining demand, it has been updated to a single grade, Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) 100/130. The growing demand for piston-engine aircraft for training, sports, and aerial applications will fuel the long-term growth of the market.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Declining Demand for Aviation Gasoline Due to COVID-19 Impeded Market Growth


The COVID-19 outbreak caused a major crisis in 2020 as flights were canceled and travel restrictions were imposed to restrict the virus' spread. This factor caused a major decline in the demand for aviation gas and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). During the peak of the pandemic, several flights witnessed a reduction in operations. Due to private and corporate aircraft restrictions, the consumption of aviation gasoline was still relatively low. The pandemic also forced the closure of training schools. However, several countries around the globe are opening up their borders to increase air traffic. This scenario is likely to normalize the demand for jet fuel in the coming years.


The price of avgas is linked to crude oil prices. There was a low need for crude oil due to COVID-19. The price of crude oil was also low. This negatively influenced the costs of aviation gasoline and jet fuel. As there is a renewed demand for these products post the pandemic period, the prices of these fuels are expected to fluctuate.


Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) Market Trends


Growth in Business Aviation Sector to Boost Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) Market Progress


The utilization of small aircraft for business purposes is known as business aviation. Business aviation is a subset of commercial aviation that relies on airplanes for commercial purposes. Around 3% of private jets registered in the U.S. are flown by Fortune 500 corporations, according to the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). The remaining 97% are run by diverse groups, including governments, nonprofit organizations, and large, medium, and small businesses. According to a report by Airports Council International Asia Pacific and Middle East, the Middle East saw 26% growth in air connectivity with direct connectivity to destination choice, saving frequency, onward connectivity and price, contributing to the business expansion. As a result, gasoline-based fuel industry participants are also foreseen for large-scale opportunities. Furthermore, in May 2023, India’s first subscription-based business aviation company, IndiaJets, started its operations with the IndiaJets Aircraft Membership program. According to the company, the model mimics timeshare in the sky and is customized for senior management and business owners who can enjoy the advantages of a private aircraft without the responsibilities of ownership, such as overseeing and managing airworthiness, crew, and maintenance.

Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) Market Growth Factors


Growing Adoption of Small Aircraft for Different Sporting Events to Accelerate Market Growth


This market is expected to grow significantly due to the rising need for small airplanes for photography, tourism, sightseeing, and other purposes. Air rallies, aerobatics, air racing, ballooning, aeromodelling, sailplanes, gliders, and many other sports activities have increased the sales of piston-based aircraft significantly. According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, the sales of piston-based aircraft climbed from 1,409 in 2021 to 1,524 in 2022. The aforementioned factors are likely to boost the aviation gasoline market growth in the coming years.


Increased Private Aviation to Propel Market Growth


Increased private aviation is expected to have a positive impact on the aviation gas market. Private aviation typically relies on general aviation fuels, such as Avgas for piston-engine aircraft and jet fuel for turbine-engine aircraft. As the demand for private aviation services, including business jets and recreational flying, rises, it can lead to increased consumption of aviation fuels. The demand for fixed base operators also increases due to the rise in private aviation, thereby propelling the product demand.


For instance, in May 2023, Chartright Air Group, Canada's largest provider of private jet charter activity, held the grand opening of its latest Fixed Base Operator (FBO), Hangar 64, at the Waterloo International Airport in Canada. This advanced facility is a major accomplishment for Chartright as it expands its operations to cater to the industry's rising demands effectively. The FBO boasts an astonishing 100,000 sq. ft. of area and 150,000 sq. ft. of ramp area, increasing Chartright's footprint at the Waterloo International Airport.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Rising Inclination Toward Electric and Hybrid Aircraft to Slump Market Progress


The creation of hybrid-electric propulsion systems, which can cut the use of fuel in the aviation sector, has been prompted by increased energy demand and rising fuel prices. In June 2023, Daher partnered with a French technology start-up to develop power systems required for a hybrid-electric aircraft that the airframer intends to have available in 2027. Daher’s Chief Executive Didier Kayat stated on 20th June that Toulouse-based Ascendance Flight Technologies had joined the project, which he described as a shift by Daher toward reducing its aircraft’s carbon output.

Private Segment’s Dominance is Led by Increased Private Aviation


Based on end-user, the market is segmented into private, commercial, and military.


The private segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast timeframe. The segment held the largest aviation gasoline (Avgas) market share in 2022. The demand for private aircraft is being driven by a growing percentage of some of the largest providers of private jet charter in emerging economies and a rising need among people to fly private planes to shorten their trip time. For instance, in July 2023, UAE-based Emirates launched a new private jet arm using Embraer Phenom 100EV business planes. It will carry elite customers from Dubai to cities in the Gulf region using a fleet of Embraer Phenom 100EV twin-engine private jets.


The commercial segment held the market's second-largest share in 2022. The segment is growing due to increased demand for airplanes from philanthropic organizations and large, medium, and small businesses. According to Airbus, Asia Pacific will have 17,620 aircraft, with 13,660 of them in the Small category, such as the A220 and A320 families by the end of 2040.


In the coming years, the military segment is likely to contribute to the market’s growth considerably. Several variables, including rise in fleet replacement programs, internal & external security concerns, and territorial disputes worldwide, are expected to drive military aircraft spending.
