Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global all-weather landing systems market to grow at a moderate CAGR of more than 5% between 2016 and 2020. Owing to the constant growth in commercial aircraft movements as well as in passenger traffic, there has been an increase in the demand for autopilot landing systems. The application of computers in a landing system helps in effective monitoring and measuring of the heading, altitude, airspeed, and distance of aircrafts through autopilot systems to ensure their safe landing during adverse climatic conditions and low visibility. These systems are also used at airports that face critical weather conditions such as dense snow, rain, or fog. Also, several aircrafts are integrating next-generation en-route automation modernization (ERAM) with their avionics system to manage the growing population of air travellers. These systems have a satellite-based ATM approach that aids in efficient landing, take-off, and flight operations of aircraft.
To overcome the challenges of flight operations, passenger safety, and airport throughput, several aircrafts are shifting towards a modern GPS system from a radio-based navigation. The new system enables accurate and better-organized airplane approaches that result in quicker travel times with fewer delays. Moreover, the aircraft equipped with the advanced GPS system requires lesser fuel and make limited noise during take-off and landing. This technology-developed navigation system provides precise location of nearby air traffic, which increases safety and minimises mid-air collisions.
The global all-weather landing system market is highly competitive and vendors compete in terms of product quality, reliability, cost, and aftermarket service. To sustain themselves in the intensely competitive environment, it is crucial for vendors to offer high-quality and cost-effective landing systems with latest technology and materials. Honeywell International and Rockwell Collins are the two leading vendors dominating the market through the implementation of more electric technologies and robust systems. Backed by several government organizations, the market players are making huge investments in creating new, cost-efficient, and effective precision approach landing systems for use by the airports, across the globe.
Leading vendors in the market are -
Other prominent vendors in the all-weather landing systems market include Boeing, Saab Sensis, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Indira Navi.
The ILS segment accounted for more than 89% of the total market share in 2015 and is likely to dominate the all-weather landing systems market during the forecast period. Much of the segment’s high growth comes from the high investments made by airport authorities on advanced runway lighting systems. Owing to their operational reliability and lower demand for aircraft instrumentation, ILS is extensively used by other navigation systems at the airport. Moreover, these systems will gain higher installations within aircrafts in the coming years as they are highly durable against atmospheric disturbances. Factors such as the growing aircraft orders, deliveries, and backlogs, along with the benefits offered by ILS, will drive the segment’s growth over the predicted period.
APAC is the largest region in the all-weather landing systems market and is anticipated to account for around 37% of the overall market share by 2020. The surging passenger traffic and the subsequent demand for air travel has led to a massive increase in the number of aircrafts. There are huge investments made on the development and modernization of technologies and safety systems at the airports, resulting in higher funds toward all-weather landing systems in the region. There have been several initiatives taken by governments in the region to enable high-speed broadband traffic throughout the airport with efficient landing approaches. Such developments towards safe landing options for customers will result in the overall growth of the market in APAC over the next four years.
