The Global Market for Air Traffic Control (ATC) Equipment is Projected to Reach US$5.7 Billion by 2022

Stable Outlook for the Commercial Aviation Industry Drives Opportunities in the Global Air Traffic Control (ATC) Equipment Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Air Traffic Control (ATC) Equipment market. The global market for Air Traffic Control (ATC) Equipment is projected to reach US$5.7 billion by 2022, driven by the stable outlook for the commercial aviation industry as measured in terms of rising passenger traffic and a parallel increase in aviation infrastructure investments.

Air Traffic Control has over the years evolved into an integral part of air traffic control programs in the aviation industry. Air traffic control plays a major role in flight safety and security. Given that the management and safety of aircraft is crucial, Air Traffic Control (ATC) equipment has emerged as the best way to control flow of air traffic, air passengers, freight traffic, and for better coordination among flights. Defined as instruments used to ensure efficiency, safety, and reliability of aircraft and air travel, ATC equipment is used by air traffic controllers to streamline air traffic by coordinating aircraft landings and takeoff and avoid aircraft collisions in the sky and at ground. Supported by the numerous benefits offered by ATC equipment, there is strong demand for a range of ATC equipment, including ATC communications equipment, ATC Navigation Equipment and ATC surveillance equipment. The growing focus on passenger safety will continue to drive demand for ATC equipment in the commercial aviation sector.

The growing passenger and cargo traffic and the ensuing increase in the number of aircraft is leading to crowded skies, dictating growth for ATC equipment. Few of the factors positively influencing passenger traffic include lower fuel prices, reductions in air fares, and increase in business and recreational travel as a result of improving economic conditions. Modernization of airports and construction of new airports across the globe, and the growing focus of airport operators on achieving operational efficiencies represent other major factors encouraging investments in efficient air traffic control infrastructure solutions, including ATC equipment. The fall in aviation fuel prices and the resulting decline in operational costs are encouraging airliners’ to procure and add new aircraft and expand their fleet and scale of operations. The resulting increase in frequency of air trips and increased deployment of aircraft on all major air routes exerts pressure on the airline infrastructure management, thus boosting demand for efficient management solutions like ATC equipment. The market is also buoyed by the deployment of Communications, Navigation and Surveillance/ATM management (CNS/ATM) networks. Advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) is a combination of technologies such as GPS and digital communications that facilitate optimum utilization of entire airspace through automation of aircraft’s routine separation.  The emergence of Next Generation (NextGen) Air Traffic Control equipment as an upgrade to traditional ATC equipment is gaining popularity among airlines across the globe. NextGen ATC equipment, which complies with implementation policies, help in addressing the most challenging issues faced by the global airspace sector such as airport congestion, safety, and issues concerning fuel and environment.

As stated by the new market research report on Air Traffic Control (ATC) Equipment, Europe represents the largest market worldwide accounting for a major share of the global market. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 8.8% over the analysis period led by factors such as healthy economic growth, GDP gains, increase in air travel in parallel with the rising affluence of the middle class population, focus on free and fair trade agreements and the ensuing increase in air freight among emerging economies, government policy led increase in airport infrastructure development and implementation of stringent aviation safety regulations.
