Some 13,030 business aircraft worth $325.6 billion (2014 dollars) will be delivered over the next 10 years, according to the Teal Group’s latest business aircraft forecast. This includes 9,361 traditional business jets worth $262.4 billion; 537 bizliners and regional jet conversions worth a combined $44.1 billion; and 3,132 business turboprops worth $19.1 billion.
Nearly two thirds of these aircraft by value are projected to be large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets, up from 50 percent before the 2009 market drop. Bombardier and Gulfstream will be the market leaders, with 32.4 percent and 31.5 percent, respectively, by value of deliveries, followed by Dassault (16.3 percent), Cessna (12.4 percent) and Embraer (6.4 percent).
