This industry research report identifies Honeywell International, ACSS, Rockwell Collins, and Garmin as the key vendors in the global commercial aircraft airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by application (narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, and regional aircraft) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the commercial aircraft airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) market

According to Technavio’s research analysis, the increase in air traffic will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the global commercial aircraft airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) market till 2021. Over the years, air travel is the most preferred form of travel for many individuals. The popularity of air travel has mainly increased due to its quick and easy mode of transportation with slashed ticket prices. This has resulted in huge competition among aircraft operators and has increased the procurement of new aircraft and raising the air traffic. Also, economic development and low-cost business model have enabled passengers in developing countries, such as China, India, Indonesia, and Russia, to choose air travel. The growing passenger traffic, with the addition of technologically enhanced aircraft, will boost the growth of the global commercial aircraft ACAS market. Our market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2021.

The rising requirement for affordable TCAS is one of the key trends that will contribute to the market growth in the forthcoming years. The market is witnessing an increasing need for a reliable and low-cost autonomous air traffic management system which will alert pilots of the possible collisions and provide solutions without being reliant on ground stations for ATC. Enhanced cockpit display systems with improved sensing capabilities are used to provide situational awareness and collision avoidance capabilities. These onboard systems obtain and process the interrupting aircraft's position and velocity, evaluate the potential collision, and display the information through graphical user interfaces. The utilization of improved TCAS with ADS-B technology and presence of other improved functionality that can be easily incorporated without enhancing the current system will drive the market growth.
