Global SAF market to experience exponential growth until 2050, research finds

March 15, 2026 |

In Delaware, Transparency Market Research reported that the global SAF market is projected to witness exponential growth over the coming decades. 

According to market estimates, the industry is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.2% from 2022 to 2050, ultimately reaching an estimated $402.0 billion by 2050.

“The aviation sector is currently responsible for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is categorized as a hard-to-abate industry due to the limited availability of low-carbon alternatives. With air passenger demand projected to exceed 10 billion journeys annually by 2050, sustainable aviation fuel is expected to play a crucial role in mitigating emissions,” the firm said.

“Industry experts estimate that 450-500 million tons of renewable jet fuel will be required annually by 2050 to achieve net-zero aviation targets,” it added.
