Leap Engine Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2024-2032)

Report Description

Leap Engine Market Size & Forecast

The leap engine market was valued at approximately USD 112.50 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a considerable CAGR of around 6.50% during the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to the surge in air travel, demand for more reliable and fuel-efficient engines and growing environmental regulations.

Leap Engine Market Analysis

Leap engines offer greater fuel efficiency compared to previous-generation engines. The leap engine has maintained 15% to 20% improved fuel efficiency to date, which is a major factor that attracts the airlines. Major airline companies in the world are modernizing their fleets and adopting leap engines to reduce operational costs and increase their market presence. For instance, in July 2024, Macquarie AirFinance finalized an agreement for 20 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft powered by 40 LEAP-1B engines. The company manages a fleet of more than 160 CFM-powered aircraft in service today, including both CFM56-powered Boeing 737NG and Airbus A320ceo family aircraft and LEAP-powered 737 MAX 8 and A320neo aircraft. Additionally, the growing environmental regulations to reduce CO2 emissions have fueled the demand for leap engines. As per the report published by CFM International, there were more than 3300 leap engines in service which has saved the outflow of more than 35 million tons of CO2 emissions. The engine is one of the most advanced and powerful products in the history of 50 years of CFM International. Therefore, with greater adoption of this engine by airlines the market is set to experience substantial growth in the forecast period.

 Recent Developments in the Market:

In April 2024, CFM International developed and delivered LEAP-1A engines outfitted with its new reverse bleed system (RBS) to Airbus. The LEAP-1A engine with a new RBS system, which mitigates carbon build-up on fuel nozzles, was certified by the FAA and EASA in 2023. As a result, the requirement for on-wing fuel nozzle replacement and associated maintenance burden will be dramatically reduced.

In March 2024, American Airlines, one of the world’s largest airlines finalized various agreements with CFM International for LEAP-1B engines to power the airline’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 10 fleet. The agreement includes the purchase of spare engines, including a new 20-year service agreement covering America’s existing and new LEAP-1B engines.

Leap Engine Market Trends

AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance

One of the major trends arising in the leap engine market is the rising demand for AI-driven predictive maintenance. In today’s world, AI has become paramount for various industries including aerospace and defense, which improves engine performance, reduces downtime, and increases the life span of leap engines. For instance, in February 2024, Lufthansa Systems introduced its new cutting-edge AI-powered operations control assistant for the airline industry. NetLine/Ops ++ aiOCC is a web-based AI assistant that supports airline operations controllers in increasing the stability and efficiency of daily operations. The solution is already in use and jointly optimized with the first customers. Additionally, companies operating in the market are investing hefty amounts for the upgradation in predictive maintenance. For example, in 2024, GE is integrating AI into preventive maintenance for jet engines, aiming to cut unscheduled removals by one-third. Developed at GE’s Bengaluru center, the AI-based “Digital Twin” system uses image analytics to predict failures and prioritize maintenance. Therefore, AI-driven predictive maintenance is reshaping the leap engine market.

North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

North America held the majority share of the market in the year 2023. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market include the strong presence of major airlines that are continuously modernizing their fleet. Additionally, Boeing one of the major aerospace companies, being headquartered in the United States covered a significant market share in the region, which has boosted the market. Boeing has received commitments for approximately 600 additional aircraft, for a total of 1,400 engines. Furthermore, some of the common factors that boosted the demand for the market include the rising disposable income, the growth of low-cost carriers, and the growing environmental regulations. For instance, in July 2024, Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC), a global leader in aircraft leasing, today announced an order for ten LEAP-1A engines to power five Airbus A321neo family aircraft. The agreement also includes options for two additional LEAP-powered A321neo family aircraft. Thus, amongst areas, North America held a significant share of the market in the year 2023.
