A turboprop engine is a specific type of aircraft engine designed to power a propeller. These engines are optimized for driving propellers and are particularly efficient at low flying speeds, typically less than Mach 0.6. Turboprop-equipped aircraft are valued for their efficiency at lower speeds, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability during landings and takeoffs. These characteristics make turboprop engines suitable for a diverse range of aircraft and operational requirements.
The primary types of turboprop engines are axial-flow type turboprop engines and centrifugal type turboprop engines. Axial-flow turboprop engines are gas turbine engines where air flows parallel to the engine's axis. These engines are commonly used in airplanes to compress air before it enters the combustion chamber. Axial-flow turboprop engines encompass various technologies, including conventional engines and electric or hybrid engines. These engines find applications on platforms such as fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft, catering to diverse needs in commercial aviation, military aviation, and general aviation

The turboprop engine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.35 billion in 2024 to $3.58 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to introduction of turboprop technology, military applications, development of regional aircraft, efficiency in short-haul operations, global economic growth.
The turboprop engine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing regional connectivity, environmental sustainability, fuel efficiency and cost savings, demand for versatile aircraft, rising business aviation. Major trends in the forecast period include sustainable aviation, electrification, regional air mobility, adoption of advanced materials, autonomous and unmanned aircraft.
The turboprop engine market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing demand for newer aircraft models. Newer aircraft models represent the latest generations of aircraft recently designed, developed, and manufactured by aerospace companies. Turboprop engines are particularly used in aircraft that prioritize fuel efficiency, short takeoff and landing capabilities, and the ability to operate from airports with shorter runways. According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) in October 2023, fixed-wing business aviation aircraft deliveries globally saw an 18.5% increase in Q2 2023, rising from 681 units to 772 units compared to Q2 2022. Notably, the turboprop segment played a pivotal role in this growth, demonstrating a significant 26.3% increase, with 173 units delivered in Q2 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This underscores how the escalating demand for newer aircraft models is driving the growth of the turboprop engine market.
Leading companies in the turboprop engine market are prioritizing the development of advanced solutions, including next-generation turboprop aircraft to meet key industry needs. These aircraft serve a range of applications, including regional flights, cargo transport, military missions, charters, medical evacuations, pilot training, and scenic tourism, known for their efficiency and adaptability. For instance, in January 2023, Embraer, a Brazil-based aerospace company, unveiled its next-generation turboprop aircraft, initially slated for mid-2023. Designed to compete in the 70- to 90-seat market, this turboprop aims to improve fuel efficiency and operational performance over current models like those by ATR and De Havilland Canada. Embraer is also exploring advanced engine technologies, such as hybrid-electric options, to further enhance the aircraft's capabilities.
In March 2023, Precision Aviation Group, Inc., a US-based company specializing in avionics, helicopters, jet aircraft, and turboprop engines, acquired PTB Group for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enhances Precision Aviation Group's Engine Services Division by incorporating PT6 and TPE331 engine services, along with significantly expanding the company's supply chain solutions. PTB Group, based in Australia, is known for its commitment to excellent customer service and surpassing client expectations, particularly in providing turboprop aircraft engines.
