The commercial aircraft gas turbine engine is a type of engine with internal combustion that runs aircraft. The engine absorbs reactive energy from fuel and transforms it into mechanical force by using the working fluid's gaseous energy (air) to power the engine and propeller, which in turn moves the airplane.
The main types of commercial aircraft gas turbine engine are narrow-body, wide-body, and regional jet. Narrow-body aircraft are single-aisle planes used mostly for short and medium-distance flights, with seats set 2 to 6 abreast, a fuselage diameter of 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet), and seating less than 200 passengers. Airplanes are propelled and powered by gas turbine engines. The various types of propulsion include electric based commercial aircraft and special fuel based commercial aircraft that runs on technologies such as turbofan, turbojet, turboprop, and other technologies. It is suitable for light commercial aircraft, heavy commercial aircraft, passenger-based aircraft, and cargo based multi-model aircraft for commercial and military aircrafts.

The commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from$56.46 billion in 2024 to $66.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to air travel demand growth, fuel efficiency requirements, globalization and connectivity needs, regulatory emissions standards, airline fleet modernization
The commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $118.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued air travel expansion, stringent environmental regulations, rising demand for wide-body aircraft, technological innovations in engine design, increasing focus on sustainable aviation. Major trends in the forecast period include application of advanced cooling technologies, focus on noise reduction solutions, integration of artificial intelligence (ai) in engine control, expansion of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), global shift toward more efficient engine architectures.
The growing demand for a new generation of fuel-efficient airplanes is projected to boost the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market in the near future. Fuel-efficient airplanes are defined as those that use less fuel compared to similar models. This rising demand for more efficient aircraft is a significant driver for the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market, as enhanced fuel efficiency leads to reduced costs and lower emissions, which helps mitigate environmental damage. For example, in August 2024, the US Energy Information Administration reported that the total supply of kerosene-type jet fuel rose from 1,596 thousand barrels per day in March 2023 to 1,717 thousand barrels per day in May 2024. Thus, the increasing demand for a new generation of fuel-efficient airplanes is propelling market growth.
The rise in air travel is anticipated to drive the growth of the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market in the future. Air travelers are individuals who utilize air transportation services to move from one place to another. Commercial aircraft gas turbine engines are essential for air travel, providing the propulsion needed to lift and propel aircraft through the sky. For example, a report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US-based government agency, indicated that in 2022, US airlines transported 194 million more passengers compared to 2021, marking a 30% increase year-on-year. From January to December 2022, US airlines accommodated 853 million passengers (unadjusted), up from 658 million in 2021. Therefore, the increasing volume of air travel is a key factor driving the growth of the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market moving forward.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend driving innovation in the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market. Leading companies in the sector are strategically investing in the development of innovative technologies to reinforce their market positions. For example, in November 2022, Airbus SE, a Netherlands-based aircraft manufacturing corporation, unveiled a hydrogen-powered fuel cell engine that utilizes hydrogen combustion in a gas turbine. This propulsion system is being explored as a viable alternative for equipping zero-emission aircraft, with plans for deployment by 2035. The A380 MSN1 flight test aircraft is undergoing modifications to accommodate liquid hydrogen tanks and associated distribution systems for future hydrogen technologies.
Major players in the commercial aircraft gas turbine engine market are directing their focus and investments toward manufacturing capacities to scale up the production of aircraft gas turbine engines. Investments are instrumental in fostering the development, advancement, and sustainability of these engines. In March 2023, General Electric Company, a US-based energy leader, announced a significant investment of approximately $450 million in its existing U.S. manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the company is planning a $35 million investment in the South Carolina facility to expand the manufacturing capacity of gas turbine units and spare parts, with an additional $11 million investment in the New York region to augment capacity for manufacturing gas turbines and generators.
In September 2022, Veritas Capital, a US-based private equity firm, completed the acquisition of Sequa from Carlyle for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Chromalloy, allowing for the expansion of its differentiated capabilities and investment in proprietary LifeX solutions to deliver value to a global client base. Sequa Corporation, the acquired entity, is a US-based company specializing in the production of a diverse range of aerospace products, including services and manufacturing related to aircraft gas turbine engines.
