Flight Tracking System Market Size

The global flight tracking system market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 5.4% from 2022 to 2027.

Technology has been designed with keeping in mind the safety of users and efficiency of the technology infused product. Flight tracking system provides this safety and efficiency by providing the customers and the airline staff, accurate details on whether a flight has arrived or is scheduled to arrive, location of an on-going flight, environmental and weather conditions around the on-going flights and the precise time of the aircraft reaching its destination. Over the decade, the amount of air travellers handled by airlines has considerably increased, leading to uncontrollable air-traffic. Flight-tracking with its feature of detecting the location and position of flights have contributed to the decrease in the air-traffic. The aviation industry and frequent flyers have experienced reduced costs and saving of time by integrating flight tracking system during flights.

The global flight tracking system market is highly driven by rising production of technology induced aircrafts, growing need for airline upgradation for the safety of the passengers, increasing usage of real-time data by airline staff in tasks such as scheduling flights on time, gate-allocation etc. and increasing government interest and investments in the aviation industry.

Furthermore, increasing demand for software and solutions to manage air-traffic and increasing penetration of smartphone usage which help get the data from flight tracking apps are also factors that will boost flight tracking systems market.

The disappearance of the Malaysian Airline flight MH370 in 2014, compelled the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to start the ‘Global Tracking Initiative’. The concept of flight tracking has become much more relevant owing to the incident and several companies have decided to explore the potential of the flight tracking market. Incorporation of additional features such as weather display, air-traffic statistics, provision of airport heat maps and services such as VHF Air band radio for customers have increased the viability of flight tracking system in the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the aviation industry drastically with unavailability of flights, travel restrictions and rising cancellation of flights by both customers and the airlines. Flight tracking systems help airlines to allocate available flights to consumers, Customers can make use of a variety of flight tracking systems in order to book or cancel flights by making use of the real-time data available through the flight tracking system. The pandemic has made it necessary for the aviation industry to upgrade the standards of the services, and flight tracking is an important feature in bringing back customers to travel via airplanes. Governments and customers alike have made use of flight tracking systems for repatriation and rescue purposes. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an environment where flight tracking systems can be used in a unique manner.

Flight Tracking System Market: By System

Based on the system, the flight tracking system market is divided into automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), future air navigation system (FANS), aircraft communications addressing and reporting system (ACARS), portable flight tracking system (PFTS). The automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2022 to 2027.

Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) make use of sensors and satellite navigation in order to determine the location and position of aircrafts. Due to its automatic feature, the surveillance technology is not dependent external inputs. ADB-S has been integrated in the aviation industry by many countries such as the United States of America, Australia, Canada and India.

Flight Tracking System Market: By End-User

Based on the end-user, the flight tracking system market is divided into military and commercial. The commercial segment is expected to be the largest segment in the market from 2022 to 2027.

Internal Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has given out new guidelines and rules for several airlines and international airports to incorporate tracking systems in their commercial aircrafts. This has led to the growth of flight tracking systems in commercial flights, as most aircraft manufacturers have decided to adhere to the protocols set by ICAO. For instance, SITAOnAir has introduced the feature of Aircom Flight Tracker, which provides data on air-traffic through consistent monitoring.
