Asia-Pacific Airport Runway FOD Detection Systems Market Forecast to 2031 - Regional Analysis - by Component and End Use

The Asia Pacific airport runway FOD detection systems market was valued at US$ 49.43 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 91.05 million by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.9% from 2023 to 2031.

Rising Popularity of Smart Airports Boosts Asia Pacific Airport Runway FOD Detection Systems Market

The increasing inclination of government authorities toward smart airports boosts the demand for the implementation of smart systems on airport premises. Governments of developed countries such as the US, the UK, and China are capitalizing on smart airport technologies, including communication and network systems, smart sensors, cameras, RFID tags, and wearables, owing to increasing preference for real-time information and mounting demand for advanced connectivity technologies in airport operations. For instance, in 2017, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and NATS Limited implemented the smart digital tower in Changi Airport, which continues to enhance surveillance and communication capabilities.

The development of new airports and expansion of existing airports in countries such as the UK, the UAE, India, and Hong Kong is also growing. In August 2020, Gammon Construction Limited, a construction and engineering contractor based in Hong Kong, was awarded a four-year contract amounting to US$ 1.7 billion by the Hong Kong Airport to expand Terminal 2 at Chek Lap Kok Airport.

Similarly, KL International Airport (KLIA) constantly focused on advancing its runway safety with the second phase of the trial for the high-precision Foreign Object Debris Detection System (FODDS) in 2021. The first phase was initiated in 2019 with two towers, followed by the complete installation of the remaining nine towers with the same high-precision radars. The installation of the new system is a multilateral collaboration between Hitachi Kokusai Electric Co., Ltd. (HiKE); Malaysia Airports; and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).

The Singapore Changi Airport has integrated advanced technologies such as data analytics, sensors, and artificial intelligence to improve the customer experience while enhancing operational efficiency. Thus, the growing focus on smart airports is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the airport runway FOD detection systems market during the forecast period.
