COVID-19 Analysis
According to MRFR, the current projections of global flight tracking system market growth till 2027 are expected to be lower than pre-COVID-19 estimates. The pandemic has had a devastating negative impact on the aviation industry across the world. With the COVID-19 cases still on the rise and slow vaccine roll-out (with a few exceptions like China) in developing countries, the governments are focused on "flattening the curve" in their countries. Hence, the government is focusing more on healthcare equipment, vaccine development & manufacturing, and roll-out programs. The growth of the flight tracking system market in these countries is expected to have a negative impact.
Despite the COVID-19 crisis, the outlook remains positive and constrained by several factors, such as the COVID-19 curve, vaccination rate, and economic recovery. With these constraints being short-term in nature and the long-term growth drivers still being relevant, the aviation industry is expected to bounce back to pre-pandemic growth levels in a couple of years.With rapid vaccine roll-out in large economies and business travel reaching pre-pandemic levels, the flight tracking system market is anticipated to grow once the global economy plunges back. Thus, the global flight tracking system market is projected to grow at a slower rate in 2021. However, the growth is expected to reach pre-pandemic levels in a couple of years.
The increasing demand for new aircraft can be primarily attributed to two major factors, namely, rapidly growing ranks of middle-class air passengers and robust growth of the aviation industry. In April 2021, the Boeing Company, one of the world's largest aerospace and defense companies, in its annual commercial market outlook (CMO), forecasted the demand for over 2,200 new jet planes in India alone over the next two decades. The company ascribed this demand to strong aviation growth and the expanding middle class in the country. The company added that despite the near-term challenges posed by the pandemic, the passenger traffic growth is expected to be higher than the global average and get almost double compared to pre-pandemic levels by 2030. With the rise in disposable incomes, passenger traffic related to leisure and business activities is expected to grow in the future. By 2039, the company anticipates a four-fold growth in India's commercial fleet due to increasing demand for domestic, regional, and long-haul travel. Thus, increasing demand for new aircraftis likely to drive the growth of the global flight tracking system market during the forecast period.
Over the past two decades, several emerging economies such as India, China, Mexico, and Brazil have witnessed an increase in their disposable incomes, which in turn is changing the standard of living in these economies. The ties of these developing economies with the global markets have got stronger over the past decades. Better living standards mean more engagement with the economies of the developed nations, therefore, more leisure and business activities. The expanding middle class in these developing economies has been responsible for the growth of their aviation industry. The growing aviation sector continues to generate demand for more passenger aircraft. After several passenger flight crashes in the past, the stress on safety has been more than ever, thereby generating demand for passenger aircraft equipped with flight tracking systems. Over the recent years, the regulatory bodies have also come up with high-level safety standards. Although the flight tracking systems have high installation costs, most airlines have these tracking systems installed on the planes of their fleets to assure safe travel for their passengers, a major part of which is the rapidly growing ranks of middle-class air passengers. The emerging middle class in the developing economies continues to rise and, therefore, poses lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global flight tracking system market.
Flight tracking systems are complex systems utilizing several technologies, including wireless sensor networks, high-speed communications, artificial intelligence, and fault diagnostics systems. They need to transmit data to the ground station during aircraft malfunction or failure in real-time. However, some of the newly manufactured aircraft used for surveying remote areas already come equipped with such tracking systems. The levels of safety and sophistication that the flight tracking systems offer reflect their high installation cost. Based on the platform, some of the airlines in the US have invested approximately USD 120,000 per plane in their fleets. However, some of the newly manufactured aircraft used for surveying remote areas already come equipped with tracking system hardware. The high installation cost of the flight tracking systems can be attributed to the complexity of their design to a certain degree.
