Jun 12, 2013 (newstodate): Boeing has published its latest revision of the Current Market Outlook, projecting a demand for more than 35,000 new aircraft over the next 20 years.
In the air cargo segment, Boeing expects air cargo traffic, as measured in revenue tonne-kilometers to average five percent growth per year over the next 20 years, as global GDP and world trade return toward historic growth rates.
Replacement of aging aircraft, plus the industry's growth requirements, will create a demand for 2,300 freighter deliveries over the same period.
About 1,450 of these will be passenger aircraft conversions. The remaining 850 aircraft will be new deliveries.
The freighter fleet will increase by more than half, from 1,730 airplanes in 2012 to 2,810 in 2032, according to Boeing.
About one-third of the 590 medium widebody freighters delivered during the forecast period will be new purpose-built freighters.
As for the 770 large freighter deliveries expected by Boeing, more than 80 percent will be new air deliveries.
