India to be Third Largest Aviation Market by 2025

The new study by Deloitte Global also predicts 8% passenger traffic growth over the next 20 years in South Asia

India’s aviation market is going to be the third largest in just less than a decade from now, according to Deloitte Global’s 2018 Global aerospace and defence industry outlook report. The report, which analyses the commercial aircraft and defense sectors and identifies key trends ahead, also says that in the commercial aircraft sector,  South Asia is expected to witness eight percent passenger traffic growth over the next 20 years, which will be dominated by India.




“The country is forecasted to have a demand for a record 2,100 new aircrafts, worth USD290 billion, with the majority of these being single aisle planes. The demand will primarily support the growth of low-cost carriers, which account for more than 60 percent of the total flights in the country,” said Director Deloitte India, Alaric Diniz.

India has already achieved the feat of becoming third largest aviation market in domestic traffic. According to the Sydney-based aviation think-tank Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) 2017 report, India acquired the third spot globally by beating Japan, which flew 97 million domestic passengers in 2016

Furthermore, the Deloitte report also says that  Global aerospace and defense (A&D) industry revenues are expected to accelerate at 4.1 percent in 2018, almost doubling last year’s 2.1 percent growth.
