Global Aircraft Fuel System Market Report 2032

Global aircraft fuel system market is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.01% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 9.62 billion in 2024 to USD 15.34 billion in 2032. The market for aircraft fuel system is projected to rise owing to a significant rise in global air traffic, an increase in investment in next-generation aircraft, and an expansion in commercial, military, and general aviation segments. The aircraft fuel system market is a key segment of the aviation industry, responsible for storing, managing, and delivering fuel to aircraft engines. The role of the fuel system is to get fuel to the intended point (i.e., engine) to achieve optimal performance and flight safety, regardless of conditions. Moreover, increasingly refined systems are moving towards efficient materials and designs as industry marks a significant movement toward reducing environmental impacts on fuel systems. Also, unmanned aerial vehicles and military aircraft drive the evolution and research into aircraft fuel systems, leading to increasing critical observation of the reliability and adaptability of these systems. While manufacturers and airlines are continuously improving fuel efficiencies to advanced fuel management systems is an essential trend. Advanced fuel management systems lead to fuel optimization and reduce operational costs while ensuring regulatory compliance with regulations to protect the environment. This trend is also impacting the manufacture of fuel systems – the emerging development of sustainable aircraft fuel (SAF) and the incorporation of SAF into fuel systems, while not compromising safety and performance levels for whatever fuel type systems are designed for.

For instance, in February 2024, Airbus SE and TotalEnergies Company signed a strategic partnership to cover two main areas: the supply by TotalEnergies of sustainable aviation fuels for more than half of Airbus’ needs in Europe and the second is a research and innovation program aimed at developing 100% sustainable fuels tailored to the design of present and future aircraft. Also, the study of the impact of the composition of sustainable aviation fuels on the reduction of CO₂ emissions and non-CO₂ effects, such as contrails.
