According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aircraft Arresting System Market is accounted for $1.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. When an aircraft lands or aborts takeoff, the aircraft arresting system (AAS) is a safety feature that is meant to stop it quickly. In environments with limited space, these systems are particularly important for preventing runway overruns. EMAS (engineered materials arresting systems) are a common type, as are cable systems and net barrier systems. To improve operational safety and guarantee the safe recovery of aircraft in emergency situations, AAS is widely used at military airbases, commercial airports, and aircraft carriers.  

According to the U.S. Navy, the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system installed on USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) has successfully completed over 8,000 aircraft arrests as of 2023.

Market Dynamics:

Driver: 

Increased air traffic and aircraft operations

The growing volume of air traffic and aircraft operations is a significant driver for the aircraft arresting system market. As global air travel continues to expand, airports and military bases face increased pressure to enhance safety measures. Aircraft arresting systems play a crucial role in preventing runway overruns and ensuring safe landings during emergencies. The rise in commercial flights, military exercises, and carrier-based operations necessitates more robust and efficient arresting systems. This trend is particularly evident in emerging economies where rapid aviation sector growth is driving demand for advanced safety infrastructure, thereby fueling market expansion.

Restraint:

Limited availability of space

Many existing facilities, especially in urban areas, face challenges in accommodating large-scale arresting systems due to space constraints. This limitation can hinder the installation of more advanced and effective systems, particularly for longer runways or specialized military applications. The need for extensive modifications to existing infrastructure to incorporate new arresting systems can lead to increased costs and operational disruptions. Consequently, some facilities may opt for less comprehensive solutions or delay upgrades, potentially impacting market growth.

Opportunity:

Expansion of military operations

As nations modernize their armed forces and enhance their defense capabilities, there is an increasing demand for advanced arresting systems, particularly for carrier-based operations and expeditionary airfields. The development of next-generation fighter aircraft and the growing emphasis on rapid deployment capabilities are driving the need for more sophisticated and versatile arresting systems. This trend opens up opportunities for market players to innovate and develop tailored solutions that meet the specific requirements of modern military aviation, potentially leading to lucrative contracts and long-term partnerships with defense organizations worldwide.

Threat:

Competition from alternative safety solutions

Advancements in aircraft technology, such as improved braking systems and automated landing assistance, could potentially reduce the reliance on traditional arresting systems. Additionally, the development of engineered materials for runway surfaces that enhance friction and reduce stopping distances may offer alternative safety measures. These innovations could lead to a shift in safety priorities and budget allocations, potentially impacting the demand for conventional arresting systems.

Covid-19 Impact: 

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Aircraft Arresting System market. Initial disruptions in supply chains and manufacturing led to project delays and reduced demand. However, the crisis also highlighted the importance of robust safety infrastructure in aviation. As the industry recovers, there's renewed focus on upgrading safety systems, potentially accelerating market growth in the long term. The pandemic has also spurred innovation in contactless and low-maintenance arresting systems.

The cable system segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Over the forecasted timeframe, the cable system segment is anticipated to dominate the market share. Cable systems are widely preferred due to their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility across various aircraft types and operational environments. These systems are essential for both military and commercial applications, offering a proven method for rapidly decelerating aircraft during emergencies or routine carrier landings. The segment's dominance is further reinforced by ongoing technological advancements that enhance the durability and performance of cable systems, making them increasingly attractive for new installations and upgrades.

The ship-based segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The ship-based segment is expected to register lucrative growth during the estimation period. This rapid growth is driven by the increasing global focus on naval aviation capabilities and the modernization of aircraft carriers. Ship-based arresting systems are critical for ensuring safe landings on the limited deck space of carriers, making them indispensable for naval operations. The development of more advanced and compact arresting systems specifically designed for maritime environments is fueling this segment's expansion.

Region with largest share:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to hold the largest market share. This dominance is attributed to the region's substantial military spending, particularly in the United States, which maintains a large fleet of aircraft carriers and military bases. The presence of major aerospace manufacturers and ongoing modernization efforts in both military and commercial aviation sectors further solidify North America's leading position.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecasted timeframe, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR. This rapid growth is fueled by increasing defense budgets, expanding commercial aviation sectors, and significant investments in airport infrastructure across countries like China, India, and Japan. The region's growing focus on enhancing military capabilities, including the development of aircraft carriers and modernization of air bases, is driving demand for advanced arresting systems. Moreover, the burgeoning air travel market and the construction of new airports in emerging economies are creating substantial opportunities for market expansion in the region.
