Global Airport Stands Equipment Market Customer Landscape
Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
An increase in global freight and passenger traffic is driving market growth. Increasing global trade is resulting in a greater volume of shipments of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and personal protective equipment via air freight being observed. Moreover, reduced transportation costs are boosting global freight, which also increases demand for aircraft stand equipment.
Additionally, the increased number of international tourists due to increased disposable income has resulted in new airports being constructed and existing ones being expanded. As per the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), passenger and cargo volumes will double by 2035. All these factors contribute to the growing demand for newer, modern aircraft, which further boosts the growth of the airport stand equipment market during the forecast period.
The rise in construction and upgradation of airports is a key trend in the market. Modern airports and airport infrastructure are becoming increasingly important due to the frequent and high number of international tourists. Hence, governments are investing in expanding their aviation networks to match international travel demands. For instance, the transportation secretary of Canada Omar Al-Ghabra announced funding of approximately USD 16 million to support Regina International Airport in its expansion efforts.
Additionally, India and China, among other developing countries, are also massively investing in expanding their aviation infrastructure. For example, in 2019 the Indian government announced a target of 100 more airports to be launched to further economic growth. For this effort, the government has allocated to invest USD 13 billion in airport construction. Hence, such factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The long service life of airport stands is challenging market growth. The prevalence of aluminum alloys and other durable materials in the manufacture of aircraft stands equipment are highly responsible for the long service life and minimal repair and maintenance of airport permanent equipment. For example, the DF071554-06 Aircraft Maintenance and Engine Access Stand is made from high-quality aluminum and steel.
Additionally, the usage of composite materials for aircraft stands by some manufacturers results in even greater efficiency and resource usage compared to traditional non-renewable materials. It can possess properties such as corrosion resistance, impact resistance, non-magnetism, and high durability. Hence the increased operational efficiency, long service life, and low life cycle costs are accountable for slowing market growth during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.

The market share growth by the air bridge segment will be significant during the forecast period. They are a type of airport stand facility which includes elevated enclosed walkways that allow passengers to safely board the plane. They can either be fixed or movable and are also known as jet bridges, sky bridges, or jetways. A key technological advance is the adoption of proximity sensors to prevent accidental damage to aircraft.

The air bridge segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 1,051.46 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Modern advances include split bridges which involve a common entrance to the airport being split into two aisles. The Airbus A330 and the Boeing 777 have such air bridges. Hence, such factors are predicted to result in the growth of this segment of the global airport stand equipment market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 33% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.
Another region offering significant growth opportunities to vendors is North America. This region is greatly supported by a noteworthy aviation base, especially in the US. The rising air traffic is resulting in a need to upgrade existing American airports, met by the presence of several players across the entire aircraft manufacturing supply chain, including airport stands equipment manufacturers. This will lead to the opening of new terminals which will increase demand for airport stands equipment in various US airports. The demand for airport stands equipment is also predicted to further be boosted by factors such as the increasing US defense expenditure and launching of new generation aircraft. However, slow growth in cargo shipment is one of the factors which could negatively impact the market during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns massively impacted the aviation industry, reducing the number of passengers at airports since the beginning of 2020. This had a direct impact on the demand for airport stands equipment and caused little to no activity in the market. However, after easing of restrictions due to large-scale vaccination drives, several domestic, national, and international flights returned to their pre-pandemic levels. Hence the increased air traffic is likely to result in increasing demand for airport stands equipment and propel the market growth during the forecast period.
