Commercial Air Traffic Management Market Analysis

The buyers of the commercial air traffic management market include commercial airports and their authorities who are increasingly investing in the procurement of advanced air traffic management (ATM) solutions for efficient and safe airline operations. Presently the airport construction projects are in progress making the purchasing power of buyer moderate. However, reaching closer to the end of airport construction, the demand for ATM solutions will increase thereby increasing the bargaining power of the buyers. Additionally, the lifespan of commercial ATM systems is high thereby leading to low bargaining power of buyers presently. However, during the time of updation of new ATM systems across airports specially the existing ones are expected to increase the bargaining power of buyers in the coming years.

Commercial Air Traffic Management Market Drivers and Opportunities

Continuous Product Innovations and Launches

The global aviation industry is transforming in terms of new and innovative products. The stakeholders across industry verticals are continuously investing in R&D to innovate and develop robust solutions to simplify the industrial operations. The growing demand for air traffic management systems compelled the market players to invest in the development of new and innovative products in recent years. A few of the major product developments are mentioned below:

• In July 2022, EUROCONTROL released an updated air traffic management surveillance tracker and server (ARTAS). The new version (V 9.0.2) has several new community-sourced features, and the issues are reported to be addressed therein.
• In June 2022, Indra Sistemas SA and Eurocontrol Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) announced the deployment of an Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance Contract system (ADS-C) enabling air traffic control systems to manage air traffic0 accurately.
• In June 2022, Thales SA announced the launch of HELIXVIEW, a C3-compliant scanner that combines X-ray nanotechnology-based electronic scanning and 3D imaging reconstruction, to provide higher security to airports and seamless travel facilities to passengers.

Such developments have been pushing the growth of commercial air traffic management market globally.

Rising Adoption of Remote and Virtual Towers

The remote and virtual towers help regulate and maintain air traffic operations remotely. Various airports worldwide have adopted these towers for faster and more secured airport operations. In June 2022, Brindisi Airport inaugurated its first ever remotely managed control tower in Italy. The new remote digital tower will help air traffic controllers to manage take-off, landing, and ground operations from a remote tower module. The module will also assist in air traffic management and enhance the safety and operational efficiency of the airport. In May 2022, it was announced that the airports at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg and Emden in Northern Germany commissioned DFS Aviation Services GmbH (DAS) and Frequentis for the construction of a remote tower center in the region, which is scheduled to commence operations by mid-2024. Thus, the rising adoption of and investment in remote and virtual towers for efficient air traffic management are expected to boost the growth of the commercial air traffic management market.

Commercial Air Traffic Management Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the commercial air traffic management market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.

North America has dominated the market in 2023 followed by Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Further, Asia Pacific is likely to surpass the North America market along with the highest CAGR in the coming years. The US dominated the North American commercial air traffic management market in 2023. This is mainly due to The US aviation industry is one of the major countries in the global aviation sector. The country has largest number of aircraft fleet that caters to millions of passengers per year. For instance, the US airline companies more than 862 million passengers in 2023. The rise in passenger traffic is leading to procurement of a larger number of aircraft fleet across the US carriers and generating more requirement for the ATM operations. Moreover, the upgrading of existing ATC towers across different US airports and commissioning of new ATC towers across different airports in the US is catalyzing the commercial air traffic management market growth across the country. Several airports across the country have gone through different expansion processes that also include the construction of new terminals, ATC towers, and upgrades of other sectors across the airports. For instance, in August 2022, the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport commercialized a ATC tower for handling the growing air traffic across the airport in Arizona. Similarly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is implementing several airport plans to upgrade its air traffic management systems for the transformation of the US airspace thereby enhancing its safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibilities. Such factors have been pushing the growth of the US commercial air traffic management market in the North America region.
