Key Drivers

The major factors accelerating the growth of global air traffic control (ATC) market includes rising demand for better airspace management, large investments in setting up new airports in Asia-Pacific and Middle East and improving the air traffic control systems, and progressive advancements in technologies used in ATC systems. For example, in 2019, Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) made an investment of more than USD 1.2 billion for the development of O’Hare international airport terminal 5. Automation has been used since past few years in aviation industry. Currently automation is integrated with ATC operation and systems to enhance efficiency and safety of air. Among multiple advanced technologies, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) uses satellites for tracking aircraft over remote locations, oceans, or where no ground-based infrastructure is available. Increasing production of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and the growing need to reduce the burden on existing airspace management solutions are expected to drive the market growth. For example, according to the report published by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the total number of departures in 2018 were 37.8 million in 2018, exhibiting an increase of 3.5% as compares to 2017, which will accelerate the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Market size in the approaching years.

Additionally, remote and digital control towers also enhance air safety, through advanced imaging such as, infrared that provides improved observation in low visibility conditions. Moreover, they reduce the workload of air traffic controllers and display all relevant information on a single screen. Advancements in air traffic control systems enables conformance monitoring i.e., ensuring the aircraft is doing what it has been empowered to do. Presently, it is very easy to perform predictive and real-time decision making by ATC. Therefore, continuous advancements in technologies used in ATC systems is catalyzing the growth of the market. However, high costs associated with air traffic control might hinder the growth of global air traffic control market.
