Ground Support Equipment Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Ground Support Equipment Market
The Ground Support Equipment Market size was valued at USD 518.46 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 542.21 billion in 2024 to USD 886.80 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
Demand for Ground Support Equipment declined throughout the world during COVID-19. International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that the number of people travelling via air is expected to reach by 8.2 million by 2037, this situation is stating the need for efficient growing and cargo handling. The lockdown has hampered the Ground Support Equipment Market Growth, as the physical gathering with social distance work was nearly impossible to complete, with these conditions IATA reported that airlines might face huge losses of around USD 7 billion in 2022, considered to be a relief from USD 9.7 billion loss in 2021 and the USD 42 billion and USD 13.7 billion losses in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The total was reached to 150 billion in industry, however, the rising air traffic and cargo transportation will play the key driving factors for a global boost.
With the rising preference for air travel, to save time consumers’ choices are driving the aviation market and contributing to Ground Support Equipment Market Share. With increasing Air travel, Air Traffic, and Cargo Transportation, airports are widely adopting next-generation GSE. According to the report of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global air freight demand has increased by 18.7% in 2021, which is more than the previous year. The market data for total air traffic reported after measuring revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) reached a 41.3% high, reported in November 2022, considered to be higher than in 2021, turn-out to be over 75% of pre-pandemic levels, with this market also highlighted the correlation between air travel expansion, increased air traffic, and overall market growth.
With the go-green moment, every industry is focusing on making their products more greener, such as the aviation sector. With an eco-friendly approach, aviation authorities all around the globe are implementing guidelines for greener processes and eco-friendly technologies, as a result, it is driving the demand for integration of these technologies into aircraft ground support equipment (AGSE). In February 2021, the agreement between Action Construction Equipment (ACE) Ltd. with Ware ESS settled to design, develop, and supply a 23kWh lithium Battery for 3-tonne forklift applications. These key market players deployed these forklifts at Chennai Airport, directly contributing to the market growth.
