항공 관제(ATC) 장비 시장 : 점유율 분석, 산업 동향, 통계, 성장 예측(2025-2030년)

The air traffic control equipment market size stood at USD 12.08 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 18.16 billion by 2030, reflecting an 8.49% CAGR over the forecast period.

The air traffic control equipment market is gaining momentum as countries upgrade their airspace systems to handle heavier traffic and strengthen safety. Public investment sits at the center of this shift. The Federal Aviation Administration allocated USD 15 billion in the United States to replace aging radars and radios, laying the groundwork for next-generation control networks. Across Asia, national programs are driving similar change. India's One Airspace plan seeks to unify civil and military operations, while China is increasing spending on advanced surveillance and automation to meet rising flight demand. These initiatives point to a broader move toward automated, digital, and integrated monitoring that improves situational awareness and smooths traffic flows. Demand from civil aviation and defense agencies supports steady growth and continued innovation in the market.

Global Air Traffic Control Equipment Market Trends and Insights

NextGen and SESAR-funded digitalization wave

The European ATM Master Plan estimated a EUR 17 return per unit investment by 2050, encouraging authorities to channel budgets toward cloud-native, interoperable architectures. Parallel US NextGen programs prioritized satellite-based navigation, time-based flow management, and digital voice switching, locking in multiyear orders for platform suppliers. Top-tier vendors responded with Kubernetes-enabled open systems that simplify software updates and facilitate remote maintenance.

Mandated ADS-B Out deadlines

Twelve countries enforced ADS-B for defined airspace bands, sustaining retrofit demand for transponders and associated ground receivers. The FAA leveraged ADS-B data in its Surface Awareness Initiative to cut runway incursions, awarding Indra authority to roll out AeroBOSS at more than 450 airports. Europe advanced ADS-C common services under the Digital Sky framework, widening the surveillance data ecosystem.

High CAPEX and lengthy certification cycles

The US Government Accountability Office found 37% of FAA systems unsustainable, yet replacement projects often faced multi-year certification hurdles that slowed spending draws. European EASA Regulation 2023/1769 imposed design-organization approvals on ATM equipment, extending development timelines for small suppliers.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Remote/digital tower adoption at secondary airports
2. AI-driven predictive airspace management platforms
3. Legacy-system interoperability bottlenecks

Segment Analysis

Communication platforms represented 42.50% of 2024 revenue in the ATC equipment market, underlining the centrality of resilient voice channels and data links. Indra's USD 244.3 million FAA award to supply 46,000 dual-mode digital radios illustrated replacement momentum for aging analog fleets. Vendors such as Frequentis controlled a 30% share of global controller positions, highlighting the scale economies enjoyed by established providers.

Although remote and digital tower modules account for only 5.3% of 2024 revenue, they are forecast to post the fastest 11.20% CAGR as airports consolidate surveillance under multi-airport centers. The transition reduced staffing costs by up to 30% at Nordic regional fields, bolstering return on invested capital and encouraging regulators to certify low-visibility operations using 4K sensors.

Commercial carriers generated 66.45% of 2024 revenue for the ATC equipment market thanks to the rebound in global passenger demand and mandatory ADS-B equipage. Boeing projected Africa's fleet to double by 2043, indicating persistent downstream demand for tower, radar, and data-link upgrades. At the same time, defense agencies accelerated procurements, lifting military revenue at a 9.85% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. A USD 472 million US Air Force order for 19 TPY-4 radars underscored the size of modernization contracts flowing into the segment.

Military applications are mirroring layered air defense priorities. Convergence between civil and defense requirements around cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and UTM hardware continues to blur supplier boundaries and open cross-selling opportunities for integrated platform vendors.

The Air Traffic Control Equipment Market Report is Segmented by Equipment Type (Communication Equipment, Navigation Equipment, and More), End-User (Commercial and Military), Airport Type (Brownfield and Greenfield), Investment (New Installations and Modernization and Upgradation), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and More). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).

Geography Analysis

North America retained 40.54% of 2024 revenue in the ATC equipment market, anchored by the FAA's USD 15 billion blueprint for digital voice switching, radar replacement, and tower construction. NAV CANADA invested in Digital Aerodrome Air Traffic Services to remotely manage isolated aerodromes, reinforcing the region's leadership in operational innovation.

Asia-Pacific registered the highest regional growth at 10.50% CAGR. India's "One Airspace" initiative unified 2.8 million nmi2 under a single national system, while China accelerated CNS/ATM roll-outs in tandem with new runways at major hubs. Australia's early adoption of off-site tower technology further boosted regional momentum.

Europe progressed on schedule with the SESAR 3 program, channeling EUR 30 billion into Digital Sky projects that promise 400 million tonnes of CO2 savings by 2050. The Middle East and Africa showed pockets of intense spending, led by USD 1 trillion of airport expansions across Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha. Latin America benefited from Indra's modernization of 70% of the region's control centers, though funding constraints moderated its growth trajectory.
