Electric Green Taxiing System (EGTS) Market Report 2025

The electric green taxiing system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2024 to $1.48 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising requirements for operational efficiency, expansion of airline fleets, growing adoption of advanced ground handling practices, increasing demand for noise reduction at airports, and greater airline focus on minimizing taxiing delays.

The electric green taxiing system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing integration of digital and smart airport infrastructure, the development of next-generation electric taxiing technologies, rising collaborations between OEMs and airlines, growing investments in sustainable airport facilities, and the adoption of AI and IoT in aircraft taxiing solutions. Major trends expected during this period include advancements in lightweight materials for EGTS components, greater integration with digital twin technology, the development of modular and scalable taxiing systems, innovations in wireless charging solutions, and enhanced collaboration models between airports and technology providers.

The rising air traffic is expected to drive the growth of the electric green taxiing system market going forward. Air traffic refers to the regulated flow of aircraft in the sky and on the ground to ensure safe and efficient aviation operations. The surge in air traffic is largely fueled by expanding tourism, supported by affordable travel options, streamlined visa processes, and increased promotion of global destinations. Electric green taxiing systems address this growth by enabling smoother and faster ground movements, reducing runway congestion, cutting fuel consumption, and enhancing airport efficiency. For instance, in January 2025, the Airports Council International (ACI), a Canada-based organization of airport authorities, reported that global passenger traffic is expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels, reaching 9.5 billion in 2024, over 12 billion by 2030, and doubling to 19.5 billion by 2042 compared to 2024. Therefore, the increasing air traffic is fueling the growth of the electric green taxiing system market.

The growing demand for reducing carbon emissions is expected to propel the growth of the electric green taxiing system market going forward. Carbon emissions refer to the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels, which release stored carbon in the form of CO2 during combustion. Electric green taxiing systems help address this issue by enabling aircraft to taxi using electric motors rather than main jet engines, thereby reducing unnecessary fuel burn and cutting ground-level emissions. For instance, in May 2023, Microsoft’s 2022 Environmental Sustainability Report highlighted that the company procured 1.44 million metric tons of carbon credits and retired 514,156 metric tons as part of its annual carbon neutrality commitment. Therefore, the growing demand for reducing carbon emissions is fueling the growth of the electric green taxiing system market.

Major companies operating in the electric green taxiing system (EGTS) market are focusing on strategic partnerships to accelerate technology development, secure regulatory certifications, expand adoption, and enhance operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. For instance, in June 2025, StandardAero, a US-based aerospace component manufacturing company, partnered with Green Taxi Solutions (GTS), a US-based aviation company, to obtain Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for an aircraft-installed electric taxiing system designed to cut emissions, fuel burn, and noise during ground operations. Supported by a $5.6 million FAA CLEEN grant, the system was successfully demonstrated on an Airbus A320 with Airbus’ no technical objection and targets certification by 2027, with further approvals planned from EASA and Brazil’s ANAC. The retrofit-friendly system integrates electric motors into the main landing gear powered by the aircraft’s APU, reducing fuel use by around 85% compared to main engines, saving up to 80,000 gallons annually, lowering costs, brake wear, and turnaround times, while requiring minimal infrastructure modifications.

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.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the transport services sector by driving up costs for vehicles, spare parts, and fuel, key inputs often sourced from tariff-affected regions. Freight operators, logistics providers, and public transportation systems are facing squeezed profit margins as higher equipment and maintenance costs coincide with limited ability to pass on these expenses to customers due to competitive pressures. The uncertainty has also delayed fleet modernization and the adoption of greener, more efficient vehicles, slowing progress toward sustainability goals. To adapt, transport firms are optimizing route planning, investing in fuel efficiency technologies, renegotiating supplier contracts, and exploring collaborative logistics models to share costs and mitigate the impact of higher tariffs.

The electric green taxiing system (EGTS) is an aircraft technology that employs electric motors, typically powered by the aircraft’s Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), enabling aircraft to taxi on runways and taxiways without using their main engines. This reduces fuel consumption, emissions, and overall operating costs.

The main components of an electric green taxiing system include electric motors, power electronics, batteries, and other supporting elements. In aviation, electric motors drive propulsion systems, offering a quieter and more efficient alternative to conventional combustion engines. EGTS can be applied to various aircraft types, such as commercial airliners, private jets, cargo aircraft, and military planes, and may utilize technologies including battery-electric systems, hybrid-electric systems, fuel cells, and integrated automation. These systems support applications such as airport operations, airline ground support, environmental compliance, and cost-efficiency initiatives, serving end users such as airlines, airport authorities, ground handling service providers, and government or military organizations.
