The data gathered from interviews has been consolidated and checked for consistency and accuracy to be collated into the MarketsandMarkets data model to arrive at the market numbers, following the top-down approach. The below figure illustrates the market research methodology applied in the report.
The market size of ATC equipment market has been estimated using both top-down and bottom-up approach for each region. The key players in the ATC equipment market have been identified by secondary sources and their market size had been determined by the study of annual reports, FACTIVA, and interviews with key opinion leaders of the top market players.
Various secondary research sources have been used, including company websites, research papers, articles, journals, white papers, and press releases to identify and collect information for an extensive technical and commercial study of the global ATC equipment market.
The global air traffic is expected to double over the next 15 years and is estimated to grow six times over by 2050. Aircraft movements have seen steady growth, despite economic downturns; which resulted in growth for the ATC equipment market. The global ATC equipment market is estimated to be at $XX million in 2014 and expected to reach $ XX million by 2020, at a CAGR of XX %. The global air traffic control (ATC) equipment namely communication, navigation, and surveillance systems are switching to digital communication, navigation, and surveillance (DCNS) equipment. This new DCNS equipment is environment friendly and expected to improve operational safety and efficiency. The global air passenger traffic has been growing at an average of XX % for the last two decades, and is expected grow at the same pace over the forecast period.
Rapid growth in air passenger traffic by itself presents several challenges, including runway and terminal congestions. As a result of these challenges, airports are investing heavily on the infrastructure to handle future passengers smoothly. Hence, innovative technologies in ATC equipment is required for efficient and effective aircraft movements. The innovation of Air Traffic Management (ATM) is crucial for the development of a sustainable global aviation industry. The effective aircraft turnaround time or aircraft movements results in better utilization of runway capacity. The ATC is an integral part of airports, as its main purpose is to ensure consistency, effectiveness, safety, and security of aircraft.
There are different types of equipment require to ensure aircraft safety in the air and when on the ground. There needs to be sufficient equipment to control air traffic and all the ATC equipment should undergo maintenance regularly. Most importantly, ATC has to ensure that there are no aircraft collisions. The ATC also assists aircraft in bad weather conditions thereby ensuring minimum delay; which results in improved aircraft movements.
There are three types of ATC equipment being used by the air traffic controllers, namely communication, navigation, and surveillance equipment.
