Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its latest report titled “Aviation Gasoline (Avgas) Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By End-user (Private, Commercial, and Military), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

Aviation gas, also known as Avgas, is a type of aviation fuel that is used to power piston-engine aircraft. This fuel is highly inflammable at normal operating temperatures and is determined by its octane rating. Avgas comes in different grades; however, due to the decrease in demand, this fuel has been updated to just one grade – 100/130. The increasing demand for piston-engine airplanes for training, aerial, and sports applications will accelerate the aviation gasoline (Avgas) market growth.

Rapid Decline in Air Travel During COVID-19 Pandemic Decelerated Market Growth

The COVID-19 outbreak slowed market growth as the volume of air travel decreased considerably during this period. Air travel decreased considerably as governments across the world had imposed restrictions on domestic and international travel. This factor caused a major decline in the sales of aviation gasoline (Avgas). However, the post-pandemic era might witness a rise in air traffic volume as more countries are opening up their borders to increase international travel and give a boost to their tourism sector. This scenario is expected to bring the demand for aviation gasoline (Avgas) back to its pre-pandemic levels.

Expansion of Business Aviation Sector to Augment Market Growth

The use of small aircraft for various business purposes is known as business aviation. Business aviation is a part of commercial aviation, wherein customers use airplanes for various commercial purposes.

However, the increasing preference for electric and hybrid aircraft may restrain market growth.
