The global ground support equipment market size was estimated at USD 5.78 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2024 to 2030. The rise in air travel worldwide has led to increased demand for ground handling services, including baggage handling, catering, and aircraft cleaning. New airport construction and expansion projects are creating demand for new ground support equipment (GSE) equipment. As airports expand, modernize, and increase their capacity, there is a corresponding need for additional and upgraded GSE to support the increased operations, creating significant growth opportunities for the market.
The market growth is being further proliferated by technological developments, including the integration of automation and robotics into GSE to improve efficiency. Moreover, the introduction of electric and hybrid GSE vehicles driven by environmental concerns and operational cost savings is also favoring the market expansion. For instance, in May 2024, Swissport introduced a new set of electric vehicles at Geneva and Basel airports. These new vehicles, electric vans, and a mix of electric ground power units are aimed at helping Swissport in its target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Furthermore, advancements in technology and the focus on improving efficiency and safety have driven the development of innovative ground support solutions. Investments in security systems and screening equipment require specialized GSE for handling and transporting baggage and cargo. Besides, the growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility has also influenced the market, with a focus on developing eco-friendly GSE equipment. These factors collectively contribute to the robust growth of the market.
The market is witnessing high demand in the defense sector. The efficient movement and maintenance of military aircraft requires a wide range of GSE, including cargo handling equipment, refueling systems, and maintenance platforms. Moreover, GSE plays a crucial role in security operations, such as baggage screening, cargo inspection, and counterterrorism measures. In addition, these solutions are essential for deploying military aircraft to remote locations and for providing support during operations, which is positively influencing the market outlook.
