Commercial Air Traffic Management Market Analysis
The buyers of the commercial air traffic management market include commercial airports and their authorities who are increasingly investing in the procurement of advanced air traffic management (ATM) solutions for efficient and safe airline operations. Presently the airport construction projects are in progress making the purchasing power of buyer moderate. However, reaching closer to the end of airport construction, the demand for ATM solutions will increase thereby increasing the bargaining power of the buyers. Additionally, the lifespan of commercial ATM systems is high thereby leading to low bargaining power of buyers presently. However, during the time of updation of new ATM systems across airports specially the existing ones are expected to increase the bargaining power of buyers in the coming years.

The global aviation industry is transforming in terms of new and innovative products. The stakeholders across industry verticals are continuously investing in R&D to innovate and develop robust solutions to simplify the industrial operations. The growing demand for air traffic management systems compelled the market players to invest in the development of new and innovative products in recent years. A few of the major product developments are mentioned below:
- In July 2022, EUROCONTROL released an updated air traffic management surveillance tracker and server (ARTAS). The new version (V 9.0.2) has several new community-sourced features, and the issues are reported to be addressed therein.
- In June 2022, Indra Sistemas SA and Eurocontrol Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) announced the deployment of an Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance Contract system (ADS-C) enabling air traffic control systems to manage air traffic0 accurately.
- In June 2022, Thales SA announced the launch of HELIXVIEW, a C3-compliant scanner that combines X-ray nanotechnology-based electronic scanning and 3D imaging reconstruction, to provide higher security to airports and seamless travel facilities to passengers.
Such developments have been pushing the growth of commercial air traffic management market globally.
Rising Adoption of Remote and Virtual Towers
The remote and virtual towers help regulate and maintain air traffic operations remotely. Various airports worldwide have adopted these towers for faster and more secured airport operations. In June 2022, Brindisi Airport inaugurated its first ever remotely managed control tower in Italy. The new remote digital tower will help air traffic controllers to manage take-off, landing, and ground operations from a remote tower module. The module will also assist in air traffic management and enhance the safety and operational efficiency of the airport. In May 2022, it was announced that the airports at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg and Emden in Northern Germany commissioned DFS Aviation Services GmbH (DAS) and Frequentis for the construction of a remote tower center in the region, which is scheduled to commence operations by mid-2024. Thus, the rising adoption of and investment in remote and virtual towers for efficient air traffic management are expected to boost the growth of the commercial air traffic management market.
