Asia Macroeconomic Overview
Asia’s airport sector contributes substantially to regional economies, with aviation generating approximately US$890 billion in GDP across Asia Pacific—equivalent to one in every 45 jobs—highlighting its role in economic activity and employment. Annual passenger traffic in Asia‑Pacific is forecast to grow at about 4.8 % through 2025–2028, supported by strong domestic markets and infrastructure investment.
Greenfield and brownfield airport development in the region is ramping up, with Asia‑Pacific projected to account for over half of the US$2.4 trillion of global airport capital expenditure through 2040; several airports will expand to over 100 million passengers per year, including Changi (140 mppa) and Delhi (150 mppa). This investment underscores infrastructure expansion as a key macroeconomic factor for the airports sector.
Passenger growth in southern Asia, led by India, is expected to reach about 6.3 % annually, while eastern Asia will grow around 4.3 %, with international traffic particularly strong—China’s outbound travel may grow at about 10.3 % CAGR. Airbus forecasts Asia‑Pacific aviation services demand to increase at a 5.2 % CAGR through 2044, reaching an estimated US$138.7 billion as fleet size and traffic expand.
