Europe Defense Aircraft Aviation Fuel Market Trends and Insights

Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) to Dominate the Market

The government of Europe maintains separate specifications for jet fuel for military use. The reasons for separate specifications include the operational and logistical differences between the military and civilian systems.
JP fuels are military designations of jet fuels or air turbine fuel based largely on commercial kerosene-based fuels. JP-8 is also known as JET F-34.
JP-8 is the military equivalent of Jet A-1 with the addition of corrosion inhibitor and anti-icing additives. It is the dominant military jet fuel grade for NATO airforces. The United Kingdom also has a specification for this grade namely DEF STAN 91-87 AVTUR/FSII (formerly DERD 2453).
In Europe, members of NATO are also increasing defense budgets to reach a defense spending target of 2% of GDP. Hence, the demand for military-grade jet fuels is expected to increase in the market.
Germany has a total of 712 military aircraft as of 2019 and had the highest military spending in Europe that rose by 10% in 2019, to USD 49.3 billion. Therefore, new aircraft are expected to be instated, which would further promulgate aviation turbine fuel demand.

The United Kingdom to Dominate the Market

The jet fuel consumption in the country increased exponentially, reaching 267.46 thousand barrels per day in 2019. Part of it is supported by the United Kingdom defense sector.
The total number of aircraft in the United Kingdom's air force was 601 as of April 2019. Further, 17 new F-35B aircraft are to be delivered between 2020 and 2022, with the country committed to procuring more than 138 aircraft in the coming year.
Furthermore, the United Kingdom's government plans to invest in GBP2 billion on Tempest, a new fighter aircraft project (under development) by 2025.
Hence, the dominancy of the defense sector in the country is expected to drive the European defense aircraft aviation fuel market during the forecast period.
