The global ground support equipment market is segmented, based on its types, into following categories:
As of 2020, electric ground support equipment dominated extensively in terms of revenue of the overall ground support equipment market worldwide. Electric equipment contributes a majority of ground support equipment. This equipment includes all the towing tractors, lifts and loaders, power units and other aircraft utilities and services. Electric equipment helps a faster and efficient management of aircraft passengers and cargo services. The power supplying equipment including generators and lighting equipment are also used extensively for aircraft service and management. With consistent rise in air traffic and cargo transportation, electric ground support equipment is also expected to maintain its dominance in the future.
The overall demand for non-electric equipment is estimated to remain average in this particular segment. Very few applications are managed and carried out with the help of non-electric equipment. Limited application and less cost of equipment compared to electric equipment results in less contribution in overall ground support equipment market.
The global ground support equipment market is segmented, based on its service, into following categories:
As of 2020, aircraft servicesis the largest segment, in terms of revenue, of the overall ground support equipment market worldwide. Aircraft services include multiple services such as aircraft engine tuning and overhaul, maintenance of different control systems in aircraft such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and other electronics and electrical systems. All the control system are essential for smooth and safe working of aircraft. Consequently, aircraft services have become vital services for theaviation industry. Aircraft services are required by both passenger and cargo aircraft. Therefore, the demand for the aircraft services is expected to grow significantly in the following years.
Cargo services trail the aircraft services in overall ground support equipment market by services, as of 2020. Rising trades across different countries has boosted the cargo transit through aircraft. Aircraft provides a faster and convenient cargo transportation. With theconsistently increasing demand for air cargo, the demand for cargo services in ground support equipment is also expected to rise proportionally. Passenger services ground support equipment is also expected to show steady growth throughout the forecast period.
As of 2020, ground support equipment market worldwide is dominated by the North American region. A consistent rise in the aviation industry has been observed in the past few years in North America especially in the U.S. Rising trade activities and passenger transportation has encouraged the growth of aviation industry in North America. Consequently, the demand for ground support equipment has also shown significant growth along with the aviation industry. The U.S. contributes the majority of market share in overall ground support equipment market in terms of revenue.
Asia Pacific succeed North American region, in terms of revenue, of the global ground support equipmentmarket, as of 2020. The heavy concentration of industrial manufacturing and emerging market has boosted the trade significantly in Asia Pacific. Use of aircraft for cargo transportation has uplifted the aviation industry in this region. In addition, flourishing tourism in this region has also escalated the passenger transport through aircraft. With the growth in theaviation industry, the market for ground support equipment is also expected to show a significant growth in coming years.
