Increasing Demand for Emergency Beacon Transmitters to Augment the Market Growth

The increase in the demand for emergency beacon transmitters can be attributed to the implementation of strict government regulations for improved safety in the aviation sector. The market growth can also be attributed to the growing need to ensure the security of the consumers. The increasing maritime and aviation accidents are also leading to a heightened demand for emergency beacon transmitters. Their ability to provide faster location and rescue during an accident in a remote area has further propelled their adoption, thus, aiding the market growth.

North America and Europe to Provide Significant Growth Opportunities to the Emergency Beacon Transmitter Industry

North America and Europe are significant regional markets for emergency beacon transmitter due to the heavy involvement of the product in maritime and military expeditions from the region. The demand for emergency beacon transmitters within the North American and European regions significantly emanates from the military, aviation, merchant navy, civil aviation, and navy (marine defences) sectors, owing to the existence of stringent government regulations and security concerns. The United States government mandated the installation of emergency locator transmitters post the 1972 Alaska plane crash in all civil aircraft, which has supported the market growth over the historical period and is expected to continue to do so over the forecast period.

Emergency Beacon Transmitter: Market Segmentation

Emergency beacon transmitter refers to device that is used for tracking the location of boats, planes, and persons in trouble. When the transmitter is turned on, the beacon sends out a distress signal, which is detected by non-geostationary satellites. The device can be relied on for timely location and rescue, and, thus, finds deployment on a large scale.
