How Many Fighter Jets Will Be Produced Globally In 2024?

Two countries (the US and China) account for most of the world’s annual advanced fighter jet production. This article will only consider multirole fighter jets like the Su-35 and F-35. It will not count light attack aircraft like the Chinese Hongdu JL-8 and the Italian Alenia Aermacchi M-346 or light multirole fighter jets like the Korean KAI T-50 Golden Eagle and the Pakistan JF-21 Thunder. The world seems set to produce over 500 and possibly 600 advanced fighter jets in 2024.
