Air Traffic Control (ATC) Market Report

The global air traffic control market is expected to witness a high level of competition in future. Some of the leading players operating in the global air traffic control market are Lockheed Martin, Indra, Frequentis AG, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Telephonics Corporation, Thales, Sierra Nevada Corp, Raytheon, Honeywell International, and Harris.

Digital Towers – The Future of Air Traffic Control and Air Traffic Management

The growing trend of digital air traffic control is predicted to make an important contribution to the rise of the global market. In February 2020, skeyes announced its decision to set up digital air traffic control towers at six airports in Belgium. The rising popularity of remote air traffic control tower could be another factor adding to the demand in the global market. Remote tower system can help with better surveillance, operational benefits, and safety margins. It also has lower construction cost compared to conventional air traffic control buildings. Naviair’s future remote tower systems control center at Denmark’s Billund Airport is expected to start controlling operations in 2022.

● Commercial

The demand for communication system is expected to increase in the global air traffic control market. This could be due to the growing requirement for advanced communication equipment for air traffic control applications, especially for maintaining effective communication between air traffic control ground stations and pilots. The commercial application of air traffic control could show decent growth in future with increasing government focus on strengthening air traffic management and improving air navigation services. In February 2020, the Transport Committee from the Members of the European Parliament visited the air traffic control center at Belgium’s Brussels Airport to understand the practical working of air traffic management.

By Region       

North America is predicted to collect a handsome share of the global air traffic control market as the demand for advanced air traffic management and modern air traffic control equipment continues to increase in the US and Canada. On the other hand, Asia Pacific could show quick growth in the global air traffic control market because of the rise in the number of free and fair trade agreements, the frequency of air travel, and reduced air fares. The demand for more sophisticated air traffic control may increase in the defense and security sector of some Asia Pacific countries such as India due to high threat of terrorism and cross-border military tensions.

Air Traffic Control Players Likely to Explore New Opportunities in Defense Sector

Air traffic control companies are anticipated to enter into merger and acquisition and strategic partnership deals to secure a strong position in the global market. NAVBLUE, a Canadian subsidiary of Airbus offering flight operations and air traffic management solutions, announced the acquisition of Aviolinx in February 2020. Players could also look to target the defense sector to win exclusive government deals. In 2019, the Hellenic Navy received the first modernized P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft from Lockheed Martin. According to Lockheed Martin, the P-3 Orion is used to assist in air traffic control support, besides for antisubmarine warfare, search and rescue, homeland security, and other applications.
