概要

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の空中給油機市場は2023年に132億米ドルを占め、予測期間中にCAGR 4.0%で成長し、2030年には173億7,000万米ドルに達すると予想されています。

一般にタンカー機と呼ばれる空中給油機の能力は、より遠くへ、より長く運航するために、軍事航空と商業航空の両方にとって不可欠です。これらの特殊な航空機は、空中で他の航空機に燃料を移す能力を持ち、通常の航続距離外の目的地に到達したり、より長い時間空中に留まったりすることを可能にします。さらに、長距離飛行、軍事作戦、人道的任務は、この空中給油能力によって容易になり、任務の柔軟性、運用効率、戦略的到達範囲も向上します。

国際航空運送協会(IATA)によると、世界の航空産業は、人々、企業、経済を結びつけ、世界中の成長と繁栄を促進する上で重要な役割を果たしています。

世界の軍事活動の拡大

世界の地政学的緊張や紛争により、空中給油などの軍事能力の向上が求められています。長距離作戦、迅速な展開、継続的な航空作戦といった能力が軍事力には必要です。さらに、戦闘空中哨戒、攻撃任務、長距離偵察、人道援助活動など、さまざまな軍事任務を支援するためにも空中給油機が必要であるため、その需要は高まっています。

法外な購入費と運用費

こうした特殊なプラットフォームの高い取得コストは、空中給油機市場が直面する主な障害の1つです。給油に使用される技術的に高度で洗練された航空機は、通信、飛行制御、燃料移送のための複雑なシステムを備えています。さらに、燃料消費、乗組員の訓練、メンテナンスに関連する多額の運用コストが発生することもあります。こうした法外な出費が軍用機・民間機双方の運航会社に与える財政的負担は、空中給油機の大規模なフリートを取得・維持する能力を制限します。

貿易の成長と多様化

従来の軍事用途にとどまらず、空中給油機産業には市場の拡大と多様化の機会があります。空中給油機の適応性と航続距離延長能力を活用した商業的機会には、空中消火、災害救援、海上監視、および長期間の空中偵察が含まれます。さらに、国際的な拡大は、技術移転、共同生産契約、共同開発プロジェクトを促進し、現地のニーズを満たし、市場競争力を向上させるパートナーシップや販売合弁事業を通じても達成できます。

地域紛争と地政学的不安定性

空中給油機のメーカーや運航会社は、地政学的不安定や地域紛争による運航リスクや市場の不確実性に直面しています。戦略的地域における敵対行為や軍事衝突の増加は、サプライチェーンの混乱を引き起こし、世界な協力を妨げ、市場参入に地政学的障害をもたらす可能性があります。さらに、安全保障リスクの増大、制限空域、規制上の障害により、政治的に敏感な地域や紛争地域での給油資産の配備や使用が困難になる可能性があり、業界各社の市場参入や収益機会が制限されることになります。

COVID-19の影響:

空中給油機市場は、COVID-19の大流行によって大きな影響を受けており、直接的な影響と長期的な影響の両方が見られます。渡航制限、国境閉鎖、旅客信頼度の低下により、世界の航空業界では航空需要がかつてないほど減少し、その結果、航空機の欠航、路線のキャンセル、航空会社の財務上の損失が発生しました。航空便の減少は空中給油サービスやタンカー購入の必要性の減少を意味するため、民間航空の減少は空中給油機の需要にドミノ効果をもたらしました。さらに、政府が景気刺激策やパンデミック対策に資金を振り向けたため、国防予算が圧迫され、近代化計画や軍事調達計画が延期または見直されることになった。

軍用機セグメントは予測期間中最大となる見込み

空中給油機市場では通常、軍用機セグメントが最大のシェアを占めています。タンカー航空機(軍用空中給油機)は、軍用航空の耐久性と運用範囲を拡大するために不可欠です。これらの特殊な航空機は、飛行中に他の軍用機に燃料を移すことができるシステムを装備しているため、長距離任務、空中哨戒、戦闘作戦を実施することができます。さらに、タンカー航空機は、戦闘機、爆撃機、輸送機、偵察機など、さまざまな軍用機に任務の柔軟性、作戦上の有効性、戦略的到達範囲を提供します。

プローブ&ドローグ分野は予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれます。

空中給油機市場では、通常、プローブ&ドローグ(Probe &Drogue)分野が最も高いCAGRを示します。空中給油では、特に軍事用途でプローブ&ドローグシステムが頻繁に採用されています。このシステムでは、給油タンカー機がプローブを装備したレシーバー機を追跡し、ホースとドローグを介して接続します。プローブとドローグのシステムの利点は、適応性の高さ、さまざまな航空機プラットフォームとの互換性、悪天候下での使いやすさなどです。さらに、これらのシステムは、海上や戦闘地帯のような困難な環境での運用や、複数の航空機への同時給油を可能にする適応性の高さからも選ばれています。

最大のシェアを占める地域

北米地域が空中給油機の最大市場シェアを占めています。この優位性は主に、大規模な軍事作戦、防衛近代化プログラムへの大規模な投資、およびこの地域に重要な空中給油機サプライヤーとメーカーが存在することに起因します。米国は世界最大の国防支出国であり、KC-135ストラトタンカーやKC-10エクステンダーといった大規模な空中給油機を保有しているため、特に大きなシェアを占めています。

CAGRが最も高い地域:

空中給油機市場では通常、アジア太平洋地域のCAGRが最も高いです。国防支出の増加、地政学的緊張の高まり、地域の軍事近代化構想がこの拡大の主な促進要因です。オーストラリア、中国、日本、韓国、インドなどの国々は、軍隊を強化するために多額の投資を行っています。とりわけ、これらの国々は、作戦上の有効性と戦略的到達範囲を拡大するために空中給油資産を獲得しています。さらに、アジア太平洋地域における空中給油機の需要は、領土紛争の激化、海洋安全保障への懸念、地域安全保障上の課題の出現によっても牽引されています。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Refueling Aircraft Market is accounted for $13.20 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $17.37 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period. The ability of refueling aircraft commonly referred to as tanker aircraft, to operate farther and longer is essential for both military and commercial aviation. These specialized aircraft have the capability to transfer fuel to other aircraft in midair, allowing them to reach destinations that are outside of their normal range or stay in the air for longer periods of time. Moreover, long-distance flights, military operations, and humanitarian missions are made easier by this aerial refueling capability, which also improves mission flexibility, operational efficiency, and strategic reach.

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global aviation industry plays a vital role in connecting people, businesses, and economies, driving growth and prosperity around the world.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing military operations worldwide

Increased military capabilities, such as aerial refueling, are required due to global geopolitical tensions and conflicts. Capabilities such as long-range operations, swift deployments, and continuous air campaigns are necessary for military forces. Additionally, since refueling aircraft is necessary to support a variety of military missions, including combat air patrols, strike missions, long-range reconnaissance, and humanitarian aid operations, the demand for it is rising.
