Dublin, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Ground Support Equipment Market Outlook 2025-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Ground Support Equipment Market is valued at USD 8.4 billion in 2025. Further the market is expected to grow by a CAGR of 10.1% to reach global sales of USD 20.1 billion in 2034
The Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Market plays a crucial role in the aviation industry by providing the necessary equipment and services required to support aircraft operations while on the ground. This includes a wide array of systems such as aircraft tugs, ground power units, cargo loaders, fuel trucks, and passenger boarding bridges.
As global air traffic increases and airports continue to modernize, the demand for advanced, efficient, and environmentally sustainable GSE is surging. Airlines and airport operators are investing in electric and hybrid GSE systems to reduce emissions, lower operational costs, and comply with stringent regulatory standards.
The market is further driven by the rising need for turnaround time reduction and ground operation efficiency, positioning GSE as an indispensable segment of airport infrastructure development. With a focus on automation, digital monitoring, and equipment interoperability, the market is undergoing a gradual but significant transformation aligned with the broader goals of smart airport ecosystems.
In 2024, the Ground Support Equipment market witnessed considerable growth supported by the rebound in commercial aviation post-pandemic and continued investments in airport expansion projects worldwide. Notably, the demand for electric GSE gained traction as governments and airport authorities pushed for greener ground operations in line with net-zero emission targets. Several major airport operators in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific adopted electric baggage tugs and zero-emission belt loaders, marking a shift from traditional diesel-powered systems. Meanwhile, technology integration accelerated with the deployment of telematics and remote diagnostics for predictive maintenance.
Companies in the GSE sector also focused on modular designs and scalable platforms to accommodate varying airport requirements. These developments contributed to a competitive landscape where innovation, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness became central to procurement decisions. The refurbishment and retrofitting of existing equipment also emerged as a growing trend, offering cost advantages and sustainability benefits.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, the Ground Support Equipment market is expected to evolve with greater emphasis on automation, digitalization, and eco-friendly technologies. The integration of AI and IoT for real-time equipment monitoring, fleet management, and autonomous operations is anticipated to become widespread, especially at larger international airports. Governments are likely to implement stricter emission norms and offer incentives for electric GSE adoption, further fueling the demand for low-emission alternatives. The expansion of urban air mobility and regional air traffic is also set to open new opportunities for compact and agile GSE systems.
Furthermore, OEMs and aftermarket service providers will likely collaborate more closely with airport authorities to offer end-to-end solutions, including maintenance-as-a-service and equipment leasing models. As airports increasingly move toward digital transformation, GSE will not only support operational efficiency but also contribute to achieving broader environmental and technological objectives in global aviation infrastructure.
