Aircraft Arresting System Market Trends


The growing number of commercial airports and increasing need for military aircraft drive market growth


Market CAGR for aircraft arresting system is being driven by the growing number of commercial airports and increasing need for military aircraft. As governments throughout the world continue to invest in their military capacities, the need for new aircraft is increasing. This, in turn, is increasing demand for airplanes Arresting Systems, which are used to safely stop airplanes during crises. Furthermore, the expanding number of commercial airports is pushing up demand for Aircraft Arresting Systems. As air travel grows more popular and accessible, more airports are being built to handle the expanding number of passengers. To protect the safety of passengers and crew, these airports must have sufficient safety measures in place, such as Aircraft Arresting Systems.


The increasing implementation of new technologies is another driver of the Aircraft Arresting System Market. With the incorporation of technology such as radar and GPS, aircraft arresting systems are getting more sophisticated and advanced. For example, the US military's BAK-14 Aircraft Arresting System has an advanced control system that employs radar and GPS to deliver real-time data on aircraft positions and speeds. This data is used to safely halt airplanes in an emergency, lowering the danger of accidents and injuries. Furthermore, manufacturers are exploring new technologies to aid in the performance of Aircraft Arresting Systems. Some systems, for example, now include hydraulic technology that enables for smoother and more controlled stops.


Moreover, airport safety is becoming increasingly important. As air travel becomes increasingly popular, airlines and airports have made passenger and crew safety a key concern. Aircraft Arresting Systems are an important safety precaution that can help prevent accidents and save lives. They are used to safely stop aircraft in emergency situations, such as when a plane cannot stop on its own. As a result, they are a crucial investment for both airports and airlines.


For instance, the increasing number of airports and the government's focus on developing aviation infrastructure are projected to drive growth in the Aircraft Arresting System Market in India. In recent years, the Indian government has made significant investments in the aviation sector, including plans to construct additional airports.


Aircraft Arresting System Market Segment Insights


Aircraft Arresting System By Type Insights


The Aircraft Arresting System Market segmentation, based on type includes Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS), Net Barrier, Cable, Aircraft Carrier Arresting System, and Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS). Engineered material arresting system (EMAS) has the biggest market share. Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) is a system fitted in aircraft arresting systems that use an electromagnetic field to halt or slow heavy items, such as airplanes, from passing through the system. This type of system is more successful than traditional systems such as nets or cables since it does not require physical contact between the object and the system.


Aircraft Arresting System By Platform Insights


The Aircraft Arresting System Market segmentation, based on Platform, includes Ship-based, Ground-based. During the forecast period, the ship-based segment is expected to increase faster. This segment is expanding due to an increase in the number of aircraft carriers worldwide and the replacement of traditional systems with ship-based aircraft arresting systems.
