Ground Support Equipment Market Summary
The global ground support equipment market size was estimated at USD 6,203.7 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 9,336.5 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2030. This market expansion is driven by increasing air passenger traffic, the expansion of airport infrastructure, and a rising demand for efficient aircraft turnaround operations.
Growing adoption of electric and hybrid ground support equipment (GSE) to reduce emissions and operational costs, coupled with technological advancements in automation and safety systems, is further fueling demand. The growth of the ground support equipment industry is driven by the convergence of digitalization, automation, and sustainable technologies that redefine operational efficiency across airport ecosystems. The adoption of electric and hybrid-powered GSE units is accelerating as airports and airlines align with global carbon-neutral targets, reducing fuel dependency and maintenance costs. Advanced telematics, IoT sensors, and edge computing enable real-time fleet monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making, minimizing downtime and enhancing turnaround efficiency.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning integration further enhance ground operations by enabling autonomous towing, baggage handling, and aircraft servicing systems. These intelligent platforms continually learn from operational data to optimize routing, enhance safety standards, and minimize human error. The integration of AI-based analytics also supports adaptive scheduling and resource allocation, ensuring faster aircraft turnaround times and improved asset utilization.
Additionally, the market is witnessing a significant shift toward digital twins and remote management technologies that are revolutionizing equipment lifecycle management. By simulating operational conditions and predicting wear patterns, digital twin models enable operators to make informed decisions regarding maintenance and procurement. This transition to connected, intelligent infrastructure supports airports' goals for higher throughput and reliability amid growing air traffic volumes.
Moreover, the increasing adoption of 5G connectivity and advanced communication systems enhances coordination between ground crews, aircraft systems, and airport operations centers. This ultra-low latency network infrastructure supports the synchronization of automated ground handling, smart parking, and cargo tracking systems, ensuring efficient workflows and real-time visibility across operations.
Furthermore, sustainability mandates and regulatory frameworks are key drivers of growth for the adoption of green technologies in the ground support equipment industry. Manufacturing and operations. Companies are increasingly investing in battery-electric, hydrogen-fueled, and solar-powered GSE fleets to comply with emissions standards and achieve environmental certifications. This evolution toward sustainable and connected ground support infrastructure is positioning airports as smart, efficient, and environmentally responsible hubs for the future of aviation.
