Middle East and Africa Flight Inspection Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Solution (System [Fixed System, Mobile System, and Ground-based System] and Services [Routine Services, Commissioning Services, and Special Services]) and End User (Defense Airport and Commercial Airport)         

The MEA flight inspection market is expected to grow from US$ 407.09 million in 2020 to US$ 581.03 million by 2027. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2020 to 2027. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have showcased tremendous benefits across industries for various applications across the region. Witnessing the importance of flight inspection over the years, several UAV manufacturers are facilitating airport authorities and flight inspection service providers to benefit by using UAVs. Canard Drones Ltd., a drone manufacturer, is among the forerunners in developing and commercializing drones for flight inspection and inspection activities. The company anticipates that drones would revolutionize flight inspection activities by shortening the time required to conduct routine inspections at a lower cost. As drones are much smaller in size and have the lesser capability to carry payload than aircraft, flight inspection equipment manufacturers are expected to introduce compact, lightweight, and robust systems installed on the UAVs to conduct flight inspection. Thus, innovation in small, lightweight flight inspection equipment for drones is also foreseen to catalyze the flight inspection market in the forthcoming years. Moreover, the flight inspection governing authorities are emphasizing on modifying the requisites of the flight inspection procedures to conduct UAV-based flight inspection (UFIS). The modifications would benefit the airport authorities and flight inspection service providers, which is, in turn, anticipated to propel the growth of the MEA flight inspection market.

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the MEA severely, especially South Africa, followed by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The MEA majorly focused on the oil & gas industry, as the industry had declined, it also affected the international operation and communication business. To support the economy, the government has taken the initiative to promote other businesses, which is helping the market grow. Due to such a situation, investing for military aircraft is lowered, affecting the flight inspection market in the MEA. The government is taking the initiative to restart and recover the aviation industry operations post-pandemic to recover the leases. For instance, the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of UAE and ICAO’s MID has formed joint operations in Middle Eastern countries. The MID recovery plan task force (RPTF) platform has been formed to improve commercial international passenger operations through streams, such as air navigation services/air traffic management, operational safety measures, and others.

Based on solution, the services segment led the MEA flight inspection market in 2019. The airports facilities, airlines, and military aircraft are conducting periodic, commissioned, and special inspection activities for flight and ground-based systems to validate their performance. To ensure that flight is ready to fly, these facilities are adopting flight inspection services to examine all the flight systems. Flight inspection service providers offer services to the customers based on their requirements, such as a routine checkup, commissioning, and special inspection of a system. An increasing number of aircraft in both military and commercial sectors are spurring the service adoption to manage the inspection activity effectively, which will drive the MEA flight inspection market.
