air traffic control equipment market

Switch to Satellite-based Air Traffic Control Systems to Bring in High-value
Opportunities
The competition among players in the global air traffic control equipment market has
increased considerably in the last few years. The top three players – Harris Corp.,
Thales Group, and BAE Systems Plc – accounted for nearly 46% of the market in
2012. Companies are introducing new products and offering customized air traffic
management solutions at reasonable cost, states a new report by Transparency Market
Research (TMR).
In order to manage the growing air traffic, traffic authorities are changing the way
they operate and manufacturers are shifting their production base to emerging
economies. Leading players are acquiring small scale companies. Case in point: Indra
Sistemas along with Northrop Grumman, acquired Park Air Systems Norway. This
acquisition helped Indra build up its portfolio in air traffic management systems.
R&D remains the core focus of key companies in the global air traffic control
equipment market. Thales Group, for instance, invested over US$3 bn into R&D in
2013. The development of sophisticated technology for analysis, decision making, and
detection fields is another area gripping the focus of players. With innovation in their
products, key players hope to serve space and aeronautics, defense and security, and
ground transportation.

Environmental Benefits Associated With Use of Air Traffic Control Equipment Boosts
Demand
The utilization of air traffic control systems benefits the environment to a great
extent. According to a 2012 research conducted by Airbus, around 9 mn tons of fuel
would be saved per year, if air traffic control and management systems were used
optimally. This would help prevent 28 mn tons of CO2 emissions per year. The
environmental benefits of using air traffic control equipment will thus, drive their
demand.
Another factor contributing to the growth of the global air traffic control equipment
market is the growing trade relations between countries. Numerous student exchange
programs conducted by universities are leading to a rise in the number of air
travelers. The number of international students registering in Canada, according to
the Canadian Bureau for International Education was 265,000 in 2012. Since
passenger comfort and safety are key concerns for airport authorities, there is a
growing demand for air traffic control equipment.

The growing disposable income has led to an increasing number of people using air
transport. As per the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), 2.9 bn people
used air transport in 2012. Manufacturers of aircrafts delivered 1,500 new aircrafts in
2013. Such factors contribute to the demand for air traffic control equipment. The
number of passengers is expected to increase in Latin America, the Middle East, and
Asia Pacific, which will further drive the demand for air traffic control equipment.
On the other hand, the high cost of air traffic control systems is the factor limiting
the growth of the market, states a TMR analyst.
Satellite-based Air Traffic Control Systems to Offer Efficient Air Traffic Management
For the efficient management of air traffic, the Federal Aviation Administration FAA
is striving to replace the current radar-based navigation system to satellite-based
navigation air traffic control system, as it will help provide precise location of
airplanes every second. Moreover, the satellite-based navigation is expected to cut
down on emissions and also the fuel cost owing to continuous tracking.
According to the report, the global market opportunity in air traffic control
equipment will rise from US$4.1 bn by 2019. By type, the communication equipment
segment is expected to lead and account for 37.4% of the market by 2019. On the
basis of end user, the commercial aircrafts segment is expected to lead, and account
for 39.3% of the global air traffic control equipment market by 2019. Asia Pacific is
expected to be the key geographical area leading in the market, followed by Europe.
