The all-weather landing system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of next-generation landing systems integrating advanced monitoring and alerting capabilities, increasing deployment of LED-based runway and approach lighting to improve energy efficiency and performance, rising airport modernization projects requiring upgraded all-weather landing solutions, expanding need for integrated landing systems supporting digital air traffic management environments, expected growth in comprehensive lifecycle service offerings including maintenance, system upgrades, and remote diagnostics. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for precision landing systems in low-visibility airports, growing installation of advanced runway lighting technologies, increasing upgrades from legacy ils systems to modern gbas, expansion of all-weather landing capabilities in emerging regional airports, increasing focus on maintenance-free and long-life airfield lighting solutions.

The rising number of air passengers is expected to drive the growth of the all-weather landing system market going forward. Air passengers are individuals who travel on commercial or private aircraft as travelers. The increase in air passengers is driven by economic growth, expanding travel opportunities, and improved access to air transportation services. Air passengers rely on all-weather landing systems to ensure safer and more dependable landings under adverse weather conditions, improving overall flight accessibility and operational efficiency. For example, in December 2024, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, a total of 973 million passengers traveled by air within the EU in 2023, representing a 19.3% increase compared to 2022 (816 million). The data indicates that every EU country experienced an increase in air passenger numbers compared with the previous year. Therefore, the rising number of air passengers is expected to fuel the all-weather landing system market.

The increasing investments in airport infrastructure development are expected to support the growth of the all-weather landing system market going forward. Infrastructure development refers to the planned and systematic process of building, upgrading, or expanding physical structures, facilities, and systems that support and enhance the functioning of a region, community, or industry. The growth in infrastructure investments boosts the demand for precise and dependable landing systems, making ILS and virtual landing aids essential for ensuring safe and efficient aircraft landings in upgraded and newly developed aviation infrastructures. For instance, in June 2023, according to AviationSource LTD., a UK-based aviation news provider, the government of Vietnam aims to significantly expand its airport network, targeting the establishment of more than 30 airports by 2030. The plan includes developing 14 international airports and 16 domestic airports, with an allocated budget of approximately VND 420 trillion (US$18 billion) for this expansion initiative by 2030. Therefore, increasing investments in airport infrastructure development are driving the growth of the all-weather landing system market.

In February 2023, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, the maritime warfare branch of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, acquired the Joint Precision Approach and Landing System from Raytheon for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance operational capabilities in maritime warfare. The advanced system will improve precision during landing operations, boosting efficiency and safety in joint missions. Raytheon, a US-based defense contractor, developed the system.

North America was the largest region in the all-weather landing system market in 2025. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the all-weather landing system market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on electronic components, lighting systems, and navigation hardware have increased production costs and slowed deployment of all-weather landing systems across major aviation regions. Hardware-heavy segments such as radar systems, antennas, sensors, and ILS/GBAS installations are most affected, with Asia-Pacific and North America experiencing higher import duties on avionics and semiconductor components. Some regions benefit positively as tariffs encourage local manufacturing, promote domestic sourcing of airfield equipment, and drive innovation in cost-efficient landing technologies.
