Air Traffic Control Equipment Market Analysis

The air traffic control equipment market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of over 7% during the forecast period.

During COVID-19, air passenger volume dipped drastically across the globe due to the imposition of travel restrictions in several countries. Hence the number of passengers on international routes also depleted. For instance, South Korea's air passenger volume decreased by 7.7% in 2021 compared to the previous year. Japan's aviation sector also witnessed a significant impact; Narita International Airport in Tokyo saw 5.2 million passengers in 2021, 50% fewer than in 2020. Nevertheless, when international flight restrictions were lifted across most countries, air traffic gradually improved and is still growing, necessitating the demand for new automated air traffic management systems as airports look to accommodate and operate a subsequent increase in aircraft traffic on a daily basis.

The rapidly growing air passenger traffic has necessitated the development of new airports to serve new routes, and the modernization of existing ones to facilitate the seamless movement of aircraft operating in the airspace. Thus, an increase in the number of airports in emerging economies and the need for efficient airspace management have forced airports and airlines to invest in air traffic control technologies. For instance, Airbus, an aircraft manufacturer forecasted that the number of commercial aircraft in operation will more than double in the next 20 years to 48,000 planes worldwide. Such developments are anticipated to trigger demand for air traffic control equipment during the forecast period.

Air Traffic Control Equipment Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Air Traffic Control Equipment Market according to our research experts:

Communication Equipment Segment will Showcase Significant Growth During the Forecast Period

The communication equipment segment accounted for the largest share of the market. A large percentage of the segment has been primarily attributed to the fact that the communication between pilots and ground control operators is essential for an orderly flow of information regarding aircraft information for air traffic management. Earlier, voice communication systems, which involved the transmission of information between air traffic controllers and pilots, were primarily used to manage air traffic. However, these conventional voice communication systems cannot function effectively in congested airspace, which has propelled the need to develop advanced communication equipment for air traffic control, attracting huge investments.

Furthermore, increasing expenditure on airport construction and modernization, rising spending on the aviation sector, and adoption of advanced communication equipment for air traffic control propels market growth. Thus, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Market to Grow with the Highest CAGR During the Forecast Period

The Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period. Factors, such as increasing air travel in the area due to a reduction in airfares are also increasing the affordability of air travel in the region. A keen focus on free and fair trade agreements, implementation of stringent aviation safety regulations, and airport infrastructure developments, have been driving the growth of the market in the region.

Moreover, an increasing number of airport construction projects will likely help the air traffic management market over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2022, China witnessed a new round of airport construction and expansion projects. The fourth phase of expansion of the Shanghai Pudong International Airport has begun and is expected to facilitate 130 million annual passengers by 2030. In East China’s Fujian Province, Xiamen has started new airport construction in Xiang’an. As of now, eight construction projects are going on in Xiang’an with a total investment of USD 9.76 billion.

With an investment of more than USD 1.3 billion, Delhi airport is set to undergo a major upgrade by the end of 2022. Expansions include an upgrade of the existing Terminal 1, building a fourth runway, and other development work, aiming to double the airport’s capacity to 40 million passengers a year from the 20 million currently.​ With the completion of this project, Delhi airport will become the first in the country to have four runways. Such airport expansion and new construction projects will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
