WORLDWIDE FORECAST<br />
FORECAST BY AIRCRAFT SIZE CATEGORY<br />
The following section presents the forecast of the business jet market broken down into the Light, Medium<br />
and Large size categories, which are defined through a combination of price, range and cabin volume.<br />
In recent years, demand has improved for Medium and Large aircraft. As business jet purchases have soared<br />
outside of North America, the need for larger and more capable aircraft has increased. In North America,<br />
business jet adoption was historically driven by Light aircraft sales. However, the demand for business jets<br />
is shifting towards emerging markets, where it is not uncommon to encounter buyers purchasing a Large jet<br />
as their first aircraft, especially in markets such as China, Russia and the Middle East. Moreover, as aircraft<br />
productivity increases, customers can get more performance and cabin size at similar prices. For these<br />
reasons, we expect the fleet of Large and Medium aircraft to grow at a faster pace compared to Light aircraft.<br />
