Overview of the global aerotropolis market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global aerotropolis market will grow steadily during the next four years at a CAGR of over 9% by 2021. One of the major factors driving the growth of the aerotropolis market is the rapid expansion of airport-linked smart cities that have enhanced connectivity with efficient, large, and well-networked airports. Airport operators are developing smart cities around airports due to the changing dynamics of airport infrastructure in line with globalization, digitalization, and liberalization. Furthermore, business hubs are also being integrated with various non-aeronautical and aeronautical activities with smart cities clustering around the airports.

With the constantly increasing passenger traffic, airport authorities are developing a unique approach that can enhance customer travel experience with safe and reliable operations and the installation of sleeping pods at airport terminals to provide a comfortable stay at airports. This in turn, will lead to the adoption of agile infrastructure that will help in ensuring advanced operational efficiency of the aviation ecosystem.
