Airbus Forecast and Market Growth
Airbus has raised its forecast for the demand for commercial aircraft through 2044 by 2%. In total, approximately 43,420 new aircraft will be needed. This positive development is based on an expected annual growth rate of global air traffic of an average of 3.6%. The main drivers are the global passenger growth and the increasing demand for air travel, particularly from the growing middle class in Asia.
Effects on the Stock Market and Investors
The optimistic forecast could boost the stock market and excite investors in the German-speaking region. As a leading aircraft manufacturer, Airbus presents significant growth potential.
Regional Growth Areas
Airbus sees dynamic growth opportunities particularly in domestic Indian air traffic as well as on routes between China and other Asian countries. These regions offer considerable potential for the aviation industry.
Demand for Aircraft Types
Especially narrow-body aircraft, such as the Airbus models A320neo and A220, as well as the Boeing 737 Max, dominate the expected demand with 80%. Wide-body jets like the Airbus A350 and A330neo or the Boeing 787 ‘Dreamliner’ and 777X are also in demand.
Paris Air Show as a Stage for Innovations
The Paris Air Show, starting on June 16, will be an opportunity for Airbus to present new technologies and strategies. This event is an important meeting point for the aviation industry.
