Business jet manufacturers are poised to deliver about 870 aircraft in 2026, marking a 2.8% increase over the 846 counted in 2025, according to data specialist Cirium. Releasing its 2026 Business Jet Delivery Forecast, Cirium noted that growth follows an 11% increase in deliveries from 2024.
Meanwhile, Cirium revised its forecast upward through 2045 by 3%, or nearly 600 business jets, to 18,000 deliveries worth $584 billion. Long-range and light jet segments are each anticipated to account for 28% of the deliveries over the 20-year span. While rivals on a unit delivery basis, the long-range segment will have an outsized share of value, accounting for 62% of the total, Cirium forecasts.
Gulfstream Aerospace and Bombardier will drive the dollar volume, while Textron Aviation’s Cessna Citation line is anticipated to lead in unit deliveries, followed by Gulfstream and Embraer.
As for the bump in the long-term forecast, Cirium cited an upward adjustment of 13% to the light segment compared with the 2025 forecast. It also factored in new aircraft types on the horizon, such as the Honda Aircraft HondaJet Echelon, Dassault Falcon 10X, and Gulfstream G300.
Despite the higher forecast, Cirium anticipates that the industry will stay below 1,000 annual deliveries over the next 10 years.
