The global ultralight and light aircraft market reached USD 8.33 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2024 and 2032, reaching almost USD 12.37 billion by 2032.
The Experimental Aircraft Association defines an ultralight as an aircraft meeting the following specifications: it accommodates one person, with a maximum empty weight of 254 lbs for powered aircraft and 155 lbs for unpowered ones. It can carry up to 5 gallons of fuel, attains a maximum speed of 55 knots at full power, and has a maximum stall speed of 24 knots when power is off.
A light aircraft, defined as a fixed-wing plane with a maximum take-off weight of 5,670 kg, is notably smaller than most multi-engine planes. Usually single engine, they typically seat up to four people. These planes are favoured by novice pilots for their simple controls and standard design. They're commonly used for training, sightseeing, and experience flights.
As per the International Trade Administration, the UK aerospace sector ranks second globally and operates as an export-oriented industry. In 2022, the UK civil aerospace sector generated around $34.5 billion in revenue, contributing significantly to the global demand for ultralight and light aircraft.
