Segmental Analysis :

Based on equipment, the market is segmented into radar systems, flight data displays, communication networks, automated surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) systems, meteorological sensors, and others.

  • The radar systems segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024, attributed to its critical role in monitoring and managing aircraft movement by tracking speed, location, and altitude. The integration of secondary surveillance radar (SSR) technology enhances detection accuracy and air traffic control efficiency.
  • The automated surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) systems segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR, driven by its ability to enhance real-time aircraft tracking, reduce reliance on traditional radar systems, and improve situational awareness for air traffic controllers.

Based on application, the market is segmented into navigation, surveillance, and others.

  • The navigation segment held the largest revenue share of 42.11% in 2024, as air traffic control systems play a crucial role in managing aircraft take-offs, landings, and flight routes. These systems enhance airspace efficiency, collision avoidance, and communication between pilots and controllers.
  • The surveillance segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR, fueled by increasing investments in airspace safety, improved aircraft tracking technologies, and the integration of ADS-B systems and surveillance radars.

Based on end-user, the market is segmented into military and commercial.

  • The commercial segment dominated the market in 2024, driven by expanding airport infrastructure, rising passenger air traffic, and growing investments in modernizing air traffic control systems for commercial aviation.
  • The military segment is projected to experience significant growth, owing to the adoption of advanced air traffic control solutions in military bases, defense airports, and air force operations to ensure secure and efficient airspace management.

Based on regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.

  • Asia-Pacific led the market in 2024, valued at USD 2,397.94 million, with China accounting for 33.4% of regional revenue. The region is experiencing strong growth due to increasing commercial airport construction, rising air travel demand, and government investments in aviation infrastructure.
  • North America is expected to reach USD 4,667.67 million by 2032, supported by significant military aviation investments, rising air defense budgets, and modernization of air traffic control systems in the U.S. and Canada.
