China is on track to become the leading market for aviation services. According to Airbus’ latest Global Services Forecast, China’s aviation market value is expected to nearly triple to US $61 billion by 2043. This significant growth will place China ahead of North America and Europe, fundamentally reshaping China’s civil aviation market  and the global aviation sector.

Remarkable fleet expansion fuels growth

Despite numerous challenges, China’s civil aviation market has demonstrated remarkable resilience throughout 2024. Consequently, the year is expected to conclude with an outstanding 700 million travellers, signifying the highest annual passenger volume ever recorded. Furthermore, enhancements in China’s international hub airports have streamlined connections with domestic flights, driving a rise in passenger and service demand.

A key factor in China’s rise in the aviation market is its fleet expansion. Airbus‘ global market forecast predicts that by 2043, China will have 11,160 aircraft. This encompasses 20% of global demand, with 9,520 new deliveries planned within the next two decades. Moreover, more than 26% of these aircraft will replace older models. This move underscores China’s commitment to modernizing its air transport capabilities.

China’s aviation and technological advancements

The expansion covers not just numbers but also service areas, including maintenance, training, and operation. Specifically, maintenance services represent almost 83% of the total services market in China. These services are anticipated to grow from 19$ billion in 2024 to 51$ billion in 2043. Additionally, digitization will enhance services such as connectivity solutions. These solutions are predicted to see the fastest growth, reflecting the increasing integration of digital technologies in aviation. Consequently, the projected need for skilled workers such as technicians, pilots, and cabin crew is expected to rise significantly. This necessitates expanded professional training and flight operations solutions to meet this demand.
