Forecast Summary

Market share by business model

Source: Boeing Current Market Outlook 2012-2031

Boeing forecasts that the fleet will grow from about 19,400 planes in 2010 to more than 39,500 by 2030. The need to replace older, less efficient airplanes will account for 40 percent of the projected market for new airplanes. The 2011 forecast anticipates 13,360 airplanes will be replaced over the next 20 years. This reflects rising fuel prices and the increasing economic burden of using older, less capable, and less efficient airplanes.
