Airport Ground Handling Systems Market

Airport Ground Handling Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Aircraft Handling, Passenger Handling, Cargo and Baggage Handling, Ramp Handling, and Others), by Airport Type (Domestic and International), and by Power Source (Non-electric, and Electric) Forecast Period (2023-2029)
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2027194 | Category : Aerospace and Defense | Delivery Format: /

Airport ground handling systems market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. The rise in adoption of various strategies such as acquisition by several key market players such as ADELTE Group SL, Air T Inc, Havas, and others to stay competitive in the market, is the major factor driving the growth of the market. For instance, in February 2022, Havas, a Turkey-based ground handling company acquired MZLZ ground handling services, which operates at Zagreb Airport in Croatia. The acquisition allows Havas control of passenger, ramp, representation and supervision services, flight operation, load control, and communication services as well as cargo and mail services at Zagreb Airport. In addition, the Havas provides service in Zagreb with around 500 employees and a machine park consisting of 176 motorized and 346 wheeled equipment.

Segmental Outlook 

The global airport ground handling systems market is segmented based on the type, airport type, and power source. Based on the type, the market is segmented into aircraft handling, passenger handling, cargo and baggage handling, ramp handling, and others. Based on the airport type, the market is sub-segmented into domestic and international. Further, based on the power source, the market is bifurcated into non-electric, and electric. Among these, the electric sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market due to the continuously changing requirements of airport ground handling across the globe. Additionally, the government is also pushing airports to use energy-efficient handling systems, which will further boost market growth. For instance, in November 2022, the civil aviation ministry mandated airlines and ground handling companies to switch to electric or fuel-efficient variants by May 2022. It also advised phasing out systems and equipment older than 12 or more years.

Among the type, the aircraft handling sub-segment is expected to hold a prominent share in the airport ground handling systems market over the forecast period. The segment includes refuelers, tugs and tractors, lavatory service vehicles, deicers, ground power units, pre-conditioned air units, fuel trucks, and other ground handling systems in airports. Various airports across the globe are robustly investing in the enhancement of their existing ground handling systems with the introduction of new equipment for their efficient operation. The current trend of using low emissions equipment and vehicles to create green airports has been gaining popularity over the years. Therefore, the key players are inclined to develop new electric aircraft handling solutions that work efficiently with low emissions. For instance, in October 2021, Toyota Material Handling, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corp, introduced a new all-electric towing tractor (3TE25) for airport operations that will replace the current heavy-duty range. The new towing EV has similar towing capabilities as the conventionally powered towing tractors, with a loading capacity of about 27,000 kg.

Regional Outlooks

The global airport ground handling systems market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among these, the European region is expected to hold a considerable share in the airport ground handling systems market during the forecast period, owing to the growth in air travel in countries such as the UK, Germany, France, and others in the region.

Global Airport Ground Handling Systems Market Growth, by Region

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Global Airport Ground Handling Systems Market

Among all regions, North America is expected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period owing to the presence of most airports, the rapidly expanding aviation industry, and increased spending on airport ground handling systems in the region. For instance, in May 2021, Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) secured ground-handling contracts for three years from around 12 carriers in North America. WFS has been appointed by VivaAerobús for complete handling services. Moreover, WFS offers ramp handling services to Emirates Airlines’ 250 flights annually from DFW to Dubai. At the same airport, Qatar Airways selected WFS to provide ground handling services for its 520 flights a year to Doha. Additionally, In Las Vegas, WFS secured a cabin cleaning services contract from JetBlue. Meanwhile, Avelo Airlines selected WFS for complete above-and below-wing handling, cabin cleaning, and security services at Bozeman Yellowstone Airport, Eugene Airport (EUG), and Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM). Thus, driving the airport ground handling systems market in the region. 

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global airport ground handling systems market include ADELTE Group SL, Air T Inc, Air+MAK Industries Inc, ALVEST, Cavotec SA, Celebi Airport Services India Pvt. Ltd., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in August 2022, Alliance Ground International (AGI), a cargo ground handling company acquired Airport Terminal Services (ATS), an aviation service provider. The acquisition aims to expand the business in North America. Through acquisition Alliance Ground International aims to expand its ground handling services in the commercial passenger ground handling market.
