Airbus forecast around 2,440 freighters will be needed by 2040

 Airbus forecasts that the demand for cargo, boosted by e-commerce, is driven by expected growth in express freight of 4.7 percent per year and a general cargo (representing about 75 percent of the market) growth of 2.7 percent.  Overall, over the next 20 years, there will be a need for around 2,440 freighters, out of which 880 will be new-build.

This growth is on track at Airbus’ pre-pandemic forecast levels reaching a cumulative value of around $4.8 trillion in the next 20 years. 

The demand for air transport to shift from fleet growth to the accelerated retirement of older, less fuel-efficient aircraft, resulting in a need for some 39,000 new-build passengers and freighter aircraft, 15,250 of these for replacement.
