According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ultralight and Light Aircraft Market is accounted for $6.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $10.8 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period. Ultralight aircraft have progressed into specifically designed, light-weight, low-power aircraft that perform similarly to traditional light aircraft. Initially, ultralights were just hang gliders that had been powered by the addition of tiny engines resembling those seen in chainsaws. Different country’s aviation authorities have different rules and classifications for slow-flying, light aircraft, which are governed by different legislation. Growth of the ultralight aircraft market is driven by factors such as low cost of acquisition and maintenance.

According to the National Agricultural Aviation Association survey, the agricultural aviation business treats around 127 million acres of cropland aerially.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Higher adoption of ultralight UAVs

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are frequently utilised by security agencies to attack terrorists and terrorist organisations. Several countries have moved their focus to the adoption of powerful ultralight drones for specific military applications. The increased use of ultralight UAVs in defence forces is a major factor driving market expansion.

Restraint:

High and low-pressure shafts


The engine system needs a power generating system to meet the increased power demand, improve engine control stability. When the extraction power increases, the high pressure shafts frequently reflect a declining surge margin of the low pressure compressor, causing a problem to the overall propulsion is the factor restraining the expansion.

Opportunity:

Rise in commercial applications

The use of ultralight aircraft has been evolving continuously. Along with growing use in travel and leisure, ultralight aircraft are utilised for commercial, military, civil, and commuting purposes. Design innovation and the commercialization of aircraft types in response to shifting consumer demands are the main factors fostering industry expansion.

Threat:

Safety concerns

These aircrafts are small and consist of few parts, enabling aircraft to be lightweight. Its small size and light weight restrict the usage of safety features found in larger aircraft. Concerns regarding passenger safety, as well as restrictions on commercial drone flight, are limiting market expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19, imposition of global trade and travel restriction has posed a notable amount of challenges in business operations, majorly in cross border trade. Airport traffic and income have been significantly and immediately impacted by the pandemic. Global passenger travel decreased as a result of the pandemic, ultralight aircrafts are used for tourism and recreational purpose, suffering from major consumer loss.

The light aircraft segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The light aircraft segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to they are utilized for a variety of air taxi services and charter flights. However, an increase in demand for ultralight aircraft in urban air transportation and technological advancements in electrical system and innovations in electric propulsion are boosting the market growth.

The commercial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The commercial segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the ability of civil and commercial end users to adopt new technologies. It helps to generate long-term improvements in economic, social, and environmental efficiency are the factors fueling the growth of the segment.

Region with Largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rapidly expanding tourism industry. In order to expand and modernize its training fleet, a number of pilot training organizations are requesting advanced training aircraft, demonstrating significant growth potential.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing popularity of recreational aviation sports and the greater flexibility these aircraft provide compared to passenger aircraft. In addition, there have been large increases in pilot training activities and increased investments in modernizing current aircraft.
