In its 2022 Global Market Forecast, Airbus forecasts the demand for 39,490 new passenger and freighter aircraft over the next 20 years. The 2022 forecast is 470 aircraft over last year’s, which Airbus attributes to boosted demand for the new technology and fuel-efficient aircraft to replace older planes. The forecast is also positively impacted by 2021, an especially weak year for aviation, falling out of the 20-year forecast time.
