Ground Support Equipment Market
Ground Support Equipment Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Point of Sale (Equipment and Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO)), Power Source, Type, Mode of Operation, Application, Equipment Type, Ownership and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ground Support Equipment Market is accounted for $4.00 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $15.66 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 18.6% during the forecast period. Some of the factors such as expansion and development of airport infrastructure and increase in warehouse operations at airports are propelling the market growth. However, the high handling costs of ground support equipment are hampering the market growth.
Ground support equipment (GSE) is designed to support the operations of an aircraft whilst it is at the airport. GSE comprises airplane push-back & hook-up, forklifts & lifts, carts, vehicles, air-conditioning tugs, belt & container loaders, light-duty trucks, and other equipment that serve the purpose of powering, towing, and servicing. Further, such equipment enables passenger handling, baggage handling, aircraft mobility, and maintenance functions.
Based on the type, the mobile ground support equipment segment is estimated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. Mobile GSE plays an essential role in airport operations as they enable airlines in achieving on-time performance. Rise in aircraft movements and increase in the number of airport expansion projects are expected to drive the growth of the mobile GSE segment of the market.
By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have a lucrative growth due to the rising investment in the aviation sector from emerging economies such as China and India, and rapid urbanization leads to the expansion of the aviation industry. According to the International Air Transports Association (IATA), China will be the largest aviation market in terms of air travellers.
Some of the key players profiled in the Ground Support Equipment Market include Tronair, Cavotec SA, ITW GSE, SINFONIA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., Rheinmetall AG, Mallaghan, Kalmar Motor AB, JBT Automation, JALUX Inc., ThyssenKrupp AG, GUANGTAI, Curtis Instruments, Inc., Textron GSE, AERO Specialties, and Sojitz Aerospace Corporation.
