Aircraft Towing Equipment Market Share

Aircraft Towing Equipment Market Scenario

Aircraft towing equipment is ground support equipment used to move aircraft. It is used to decrease fuel consumption when an aircraft is on ground. The major drivers for the growth of the aircraft towing equipment market are the rising demand for hybrid and electric aircraft towing equipment, technological developments, increase in air passenger and cargo traffic, and the growing number of airlines and airports. The aircraft towing equipment market has been segmented by equipment type, mode of propulsion, end user, and region. 

Based on equipment type, the market has been divided into towbar tractors and towbarless tractors. In 2017, the towbar tractors segment accounted for the larger market share. However, the towbarless tractors segment is estimated to be the faster-growing market during the forecast period as these tractors offer increased efficiency and are cost-effective as compared to towbar tractors. By mode of propulsion, the market has been classified as non-electric, electric, and hybrid. In 2017, the electric segment accounted for the largest market share. The hybrid segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the review period. 

his can be attributed to the increased demand for hybrid tractors as they run on twin-powered engines (gasoline engine and electric motor), thereby, reducing fuel consumption and conserving energy. Based on end-user, the market has been categorized as commercial and military. In 2017, the commercial segment accounted for the larger market share and is estimated to be the faster-growing during the forecast period. An increase in the number of commercial aircraft across the globe is propelling the growth of the segment. The aircraft towing equipment market has also been studied for four regions—North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. 

North America is projected to account for the largest market share during the review period owing to the presence of major aircraft towing equipment manufacturers such as JBT Corporation and Tug Technologies Corporation in the region. Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing regional market during the forecast period due to a rise in the number of airports in the region. The aircraft towing equipment market is estimated to register a CAGR of more than 7% during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023.
