Can Airbus and Boeing be seriously challenged in the 100-200-seat single-aisle market segment?

The Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation does a brief on AirInsight's latest report. Among the report's conclusions:

  • Airbus and Boeing currently have about an 88% market share in the 100- to 200-seat single-aisle market segment. This market share could be cut in half to about 40% if market forecasts offered by the emerging competitors bear any relationship to reality;
  • Technology transfers by the current Big 4—Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer—are enabling these new competitors;
  • Airbus and Boeing will likely choose to re-engine their stalwart A320 and 737 families as an interim solution to meeting the new competition, while continuing to develop advanced-technology replacements for introduction in the 2020 decade;
  • The sub-70 seat regional jet market is rapidly losing attractiveness. Bombardier is considering larger turboprops and Mitsubishi is considering a larger version of its MRJ;
  • Embraer faces a tough decision about what to do with its E-Jet series, which is still relatively new to market, to meet the competition from Bombardier’s CSeries.
