Aircraft, Engine & Parts Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

Revenue for the aircraft engine, engine and parts manufacturing has been declining over the past five years as a result of volatile economic conditions. In particular, the Canadian industry is a leader in manufacturing business aircraft, commercial planes with less than 150 seats, civil helicopters, regional and small engines and various aerospace components. The COVID-19 pandemic weighed heavily on the industry given its effect on air travel. Over the past five years, industry revenue is estimated to have fallen at a CAGR of 3.3% to $21.5 billion in 2023 . This includes a projected rise of 3.7% in 2023 alone as production activity increases alongside elevated travel levels. 

Trends and Insights

  • Rising air travel levels are expected to assist the recovery in aircraft production. Supply chain difficulties have posed challenges for operators, as rising raw material costs and shortages of key inputs such as semiconductors and plastics weighed on profit and delayed production.
  • Completed aircraft are expected to account for almost half of industry revenue. The industry is a world leader in the manufacture of commercial aircraft below the 149-seat category and distributes various completed aircraft to global markets.
  • Montreal is home to the world's third-largest aerospace cluster. Quebec provides many tax incentives, has more than 10 research centres, plus large industry associations and support agencies.
  • The industry exhibits a moderate level of market concentration. Aerospace manufacturing is composed of many large establishments, which are necessary for massive aircraft construction and manufacturing projects.
