Global Air Traffic Control Market Opportunities and Forecast 2023-2030

Air Traffic Control Market Overview

Air traffic control (ATC) may be a sort of service that's provided by the ground-based traffic controller for providing vital information to aircraft. the most purpose of traffic control systems is to avoid and stop collisions while maintaining and organizing the flow of traffic by providing useful and supportive information to the pilots.
 
The rapid increase in tourism is resulting in the expansion in traffic across the world. The passengers are preferring airplanes to travel and reduce time, creating a positive outlook for the market. consistent with the International Civil Aviation Organization, globally, over 400 departures of economic aircraft happen per hour. This number is projected to extend over time with the growing market trend of aviation. to scale back the collisions of planes and accidents, the demand for traffic control systems is increasing, driving the market.
 
The rising demand for connected airports, airlines, and other connected systems of traffic control and exchange of knowledge are more susceptible to potential cyberattacks, which may be a major factor hindering the market price. However, to beat the challenges, the businesses are introducing new and advanced systems to scale back the cyberattacks to a minimal range.
 
Covid-19 Impact on Air Traffic Control Market:

As the COVID-19 pandemic continuing its effect around the world, many defense and aerospace companies are facing its impact during this time around the world. For instance, commercial aviation companies in the U.S., France, Germany, and Canada are facing disruption in the production process and reduced demand as workforces staying at home, passengers stop traveling, and delay in delivery of new aircraft. Analysts expecting a drop from 3,000 to 4,000 aircraft during the pandemic period. On the defense side, contractors operating in the sector are in a better position, hence the impact of the pandemic is likely low in the short to mid-term. However, low demand due to budget constraints affecting the production as in aircraft manufacturing.
 
Air Traffic Control Market Segment Overview

Based on airspace, the traffic control market has been segmented into ARTCC, ATCT, TRACON, and Remote tower (RT). The ATCT segment is estimated to account for the most important share of the traffic control market in 2019. an outsized number of ATCT towers present all together in countries compared to other airspace segments has attributed to a larger share of this segment. Additionally, ATCT houses major equipment, leading to a larger market share of this equipment. Regions like North America and Europe are focusing largely on modernization of equipment to enhance the efficiency of air traffic, increase in market size through brownfield projects.

Airports are experiencing high passenger traffic, which keeps on growing year-on-year. Thus, airports’ revenue is directly proportional to the passengers they handle. Large and medium-sized airports handle over 70% of the world’s air passenger traffic. Thus, with increasing traffic, airports need to upgrade ATC systems to facilitate effective airspace operations. Medium airports are leading the market as there are large numbers of medium-sized airports across the world. The immediate need for these airports is to effectively manage their airspace. Small airports experience seasonal traffic. Thus, they have a traffic control option, which is scalable, the remote tower can greatly benefit these airports.

Air Traffic Control Market Regional Overview

Region-wise, in terms of regions, this growth is especially attributed to the modernization of airport infrastructure, which, in turn, has resulted in the increased procurement of air traffic control equipment to streamline flight operations. Increasing passenger traffic through the Middle East region has added to the expansion of demand for air traffic services.

UAE is that the major contributor to the expansion of the center East market. Given the number of airports and increasing passenger footfall, the country is leading the general market. Also, the development of a replacement airport within the countries considered for the study plays an important role as new airports would require an impact tower. These control towers are going to be equipped with all the newest systems.
