Airports in China Industry Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

(March 17, 2013)

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 17, 2013

In the five years through 2013, revenue for the Airport industry in China has been growing at an annualized rate of 10.0%, driven by the rapid development of the Chinese economy and cultural exchange campaigns between China and other countries. However, growth is expected to slow in average in 2013, says IBISWorld, as the smog in large cities like Beijing is severely affecting the operations of airlines nationwide. Competition from high-speed rail is also suppressing demand for airlines, considering its lower price and convenience.

IBISWorld has identified significant growth potential for the industry, as flights per capita in China are much lower than in developed economies. In 2007, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) began long-term developmental plans to increase the total number of airports to 244 by 2020. Under this plan, about eight new airports are put into operation each year across China. As many small and medium-sized cities in China are still inaccessible by air transport, the number of regional airports, in particular, is forecast to grow over the next five years.

The Airports industry in China has a medium concentration level with the four major players accounting for a combined market share of 40.6%. These players operate the five busiest airports in China, namely Beijing Capital International Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, and Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. Industry concentration levels are expected to remain relatively stable in the near future, says IBISWorld.

The industry's non-aeronautical businesses, such as advertising and property development, are becoming increasingly important to airport operators. This is particularly the case for large airports with high passenger numbers. Growth in passenger volumes in major airports in China has slowed since 2005, while the potential for further expansion of non-aeronautical businesses has increased. Additionally, charges on aeronautical businesses are closely regulated by government agencies while the non-aeronautical segment is more market-oriented.
