Ground support equipment (GSE) refers to the various tools and vehicles utilized to support aircraft operations on the ground. It is primarily used at airports to service airplanes between flights, and its functions include handling baggage, towing aircraft, servicing with water and electricity, providing air conditioning, and facilitating passenger boarding. The range of equipment encompasses baggage carts, tow bars, ground power units, conveyor belts, and jet air starters, among others. These devices are critical in ensuring airport operations' efficiency, safety, and swiftness, contributing to aircraft's overall functionality and turnaround on the ground. The global expansion of airport infrastructure and increased air traffic significantly propel the demand for ground support equipment. In addition, the implementation of strict safety and environmental regulations by governments worldwide further propels market growth. These regulations mandate adopting safer, more efficient operational practices and technologies, ensuring that equipment adheres to current environmental standards and overall airport efficiency and safety. However, the expansion of the ground support equipment market is significantly hindered by the high initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs required. Purchasing and keeping this equipment operational entails significant expenditure owing to the advanced technology and robust materials needed for their functions. The ongoing technological advances in battery technology and electric motors offer lucrative opportunities for market growth. These technological improvements increase efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and lower operational costs.
