Aircraft Ground Support Equipment Market Global Report 2026

The aircraft ground support equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.18 billion in 2025 to $9.79 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing size of aircraft fleets, rising passenger air traffic, expanding airport infrastructure, growing demand for efficient aircraft turnaround operations, and increasing need for dependable aircraft servicing.

The aircraft ground support equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.48 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for electric ground support equipment, growing adoption of autonomous ground handling technologies, rising emphasis on reducing airport-related emissions, increasing need for automated aircraft servicing solutions, and expanding airport modernization initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of electric ground support equipment, rising demand for autonomous aircraft ground handling solutions, increasing deployment of remotely operated aircraft servicing equipment, growing need for low-emission ground support vehicles, and rising emphasis on accelerating aircraft turnaround times.

The rising air passenger traffic is expected to propel the growth of the aircraft ground support equipment market going forward. Air passenger traffic refers to the total number of passengers transported by airlines through domestic and international air services over a specific period. Air passenger traffic is increasing due to higher disposable incomes, enabling more people to afford air travel for business and leisure purposes. The rising air passenger traffic drives demand for aircraft ground support equipment by increasing flight frequencies and airport operations, thereby boosting the need for efficient ground handling, aircraft servicing, baggage handling, and turnaround equipment. For instance, in September 2024, according to Airports Council International, a Canada-based trade association, global passenger traffic reached 8.7 billion in 2023, representing a 30.6% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the rising air passenger traffic is driving the growth of the aircraft ground support equipment market.

Leading companies operating in the aircraft ground support equipment market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as digital maintenance management platforms to improve equipment reliability, streamline maintenance operations, and enhance asset utilization. Digital maintenance management platforms refer to integrated software systems that enable organizations to plan, monitor, and optimize maintenance activities, asset performance, and operational workflows through centralized digital tools. For example, in April 2026, Veryon, a US-based aviation software company, launched Veryon Work Center and ground support equipment (GSE) solutions designed to simplify and centralize maintenance management for aviation ground support equipment. It offers benefits such as real-time maintenance tracking, streamlined work order management, and improved asset visibility and operational efficiency. The launch aims to help customers reduce equipment downtime, optimize maintenance workflows, and improve fleet reliability while supporting the aviation industry's digital transformation and operational efficiency initiatives.
