Increase in International Flights to Propel the Growth of the Airport Services Industry

The rapid growth of air traffic has led to the expansion of the aviation industry. In this regard, the growing competition among the airport service providers is compelling the governing bodies across the globe to improve their services to attract more passengers and generate more revenue. This, in turn, is projected to contribute to the growth of the airport services industry. In addition, the rapid globalisation, reduced airfare, and improving living standards are leading to increased air passenger traffic, which is further expected to expand the international routes and flights, thereby supporting the industry growth in the forecast period.

North America to Account for a Significant Market Share in the Airport Services Industry

North America is estimated to account for a significant share of the airport services industry. This can be attributed to the rapid increase in the number of international and domestic flights, which is expected to drive further investments in the expansion of airport services in the region. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, in 2019, Air Traffic Organization (ATO) provided services to more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers.

Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is also expected to hold a substantial market share, owing to the rising airport construction, renovation of the existing airports, and the large orders for new aircraft particularly in India. For instance, the Indian government aims to develop 100 airports by 2024 under the UDAN scheme and expects to invest $1.83 billion in the development of airport infrastructure by 2026. These factors are anticipated to spearhead the airport services industry in the forecast period.
