JUL 31, 2003 (newstodate): In its Current Market Outlook 2003, Boeing sees 2,976 freighters to enter the fleets until 2022, while 1,227 cargo airplanes will be retired, aggregating a net gain of 1,749 freighter airplanes.
Freighters as a percentage of the total world airplane fleet will decrease from 11 percent to 10 percent, due to an increase in size of the average freighter.
The share of widebody freighters is expected to increase to 56 percent of the fleet, compared to 41 percent currently. More than half of the freighters that will be added to the fleet will be widebody airplanes.
Currently, Boeing provides more than 90 percent of the world's freighter capacity. This percentage is expected to remain stable, as the vast majority of conversions will be larger Boeing airplanes.
