The global aviation beacons technology market expands due to rapid advancements in technology and integration with smart systems. Aviation beacon technology entails a set of important visual and radio-frequency markers that maximize safety and efficiency of air transport.

The main driver of the aviation beacon market is the constant increase in the volume of air trafficking, especially in the emerging economies. The increased number of flights, as well as the ability to construct or modernize existing airports so that they can cope with this flood, necessitates the need for reliable navigation and safety aids.

Aviation Beacons Technology Market Driver

On-the-Rise Air Traffic and Safety Regulations to the Defense Ministry to Expand the Market

The exploding number of global flights is the most essential driver of the aviation beacon market. With an increasing population opting to travel by air and with the number of commercial as well as cargo flights increasing, there is an automatic necessity to have more solid and dependable infrastructure to make the operations safe and highly effective.

Technological Advancements to Advance the Market

Availability of technological advancements is of great significance in the formulation and growth of the aviation beacon market. The replacement of the imperial incandescent lighting with new energy-saving, durable and brighter beacons based on LED is a big trend. LEDs have advantages of longer lifetime, less power consumption, and decreased maintenance cost, as well as better visibility; hence, they are more suitable in modern aviation facilities.

Aviation Beacons Technology Market Restraint

Expensive implementation to Pose Potential Impediments on this Market

Even though the aviation beacon market has clear benefits and the rise in demand, the discouraging aspect of the market is the high costs of implementation. The initial capital costs of purchasing and installing the new and advanced aviation beacon systems can be very high. The integration of the new systems with the current airport facilities and air traffic management systems may increase the complexity of the tasks and the cost.

Aviation Beacons Technology Market Opportunity

Emerging Markets to Create Opportunity in this Market

Avenues in the aviation beacon technology market can be seen mostly in the emerging markets. Economies are booming rapidly in Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, which is seen in terms of the incomes of people, which are growing at a high rate, and the population of the middle class is increasing. With this, the demand for air travel has been rising extremely.

Key Insights

The report covers the following key insights:

• Market drivers, restraints and opportunities
• Influence of key industrial players and key developments
• Advancements in Technology,
• Stringent Safety Regulations

Analysis by Beacon Type

By Beacon Type, the Aviation Beacons Technology market is divided into Obstruction Beacons, Aircraft Navigation Beacons & Emergency Locator Beacons 

The obstruction beacons segment of the market is growing immensely with the high rate of globalisation and the building up of infrastructure.

Growing air traffic around the world and the constant necessity to improve air traffic management and safety are directly connected to the growth of the aircraft navigation beacons segment.

Analysis by Installation Placement

Based on Installation Placement, the market is divided into Airframe-Mounted, Ground-Based & Offshore Structure

The growth of the airframe-mounted beacons has a direct correlation with the expansion of the world aircraft fleet, including the commercial and the general aviation industries.

The growth of the ground-based beacon technology is largely due to the worldwide airport infrastructure constructions and modernisation works.

Analysis by Visibility Range

Based on Visibility Range, the market is divided into Short Range (Below 5 Nautical Miles), Medium Range (5-10 Nautical Miles) & Long Range (Above 10 Nautical Miles

The constantly growing air traffic directly leads to the expansion of short-range aviation beacons because current increases in air traffic demand the constant improvements and enlargement of the existing airport infrastructure worldwide.

The beacons used in medium range are also increasing on the market, and this is because there is also global ageing of structures, especially the growth of wind farms and construction of very tall buildings in developed cities.

Analysis by Technology

Based on Technology, the market is divided into LED, Xenon, Incandescent & Laser-Based

LED properties in critical aviation use (high vibration and extreme temperatures with reliable performance of LEDs) with the instant-on feature provide the foundation to be used in the aviation sector.

Growth in the xenon segment is quite constrained and, in many cases, driven by replacement demand or narrow legacy system needs rather than extensive new installations, as the cost-life cycle and environmental benefits of LEDs more and more offset the high peak intensity draw of xenon in new aviation applications.

Analysis by Application

Based on Application, the market is divided into Air Traffic Control (ATC), Airport Operations, Search & Rescue (SAR), Military Airbases & Helipads, Commercial & Private Helipads & Drone Zones

The Air Traffic Control (ATC) sector is growing as the total air traffic in the world is continuously growing tremendously, overwhelming the ATC systems to cope with the growing traffic to ease operation of air traffic safely and effectively.

Airport operations are quite a fast-growing segment, as the investments in airport expansion and modernisation around the globe are increasing.

Analysis by End User

Based on End User, the market is divided into Commercial Aviation, Private Operators/Entities, Military Aviation & Drone Operators

The commercial aviation industry is an epic trend of aviation beacons. The constant increase in the number of commercial air traffic worldwide, specifically in the sphere of upcoming economies, immediately translates into the skyrocketing demand of aviation beacons.

Although the volumes of single purchases of privates may be less than commercial airlines, the very existence of this broad assortment of disparate and specialised activities, which are subject to the same regulations individually, creates a very large and increasing demand requiring a broad assortment of aviation beacon technologies.

Regional Analysis

To gain extensive insights into the market, Download for Customization

Based on region, the Aviation Beacons Technology market has been studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

North America also holds the top position in the beacon market of aviation, mostly because its aviation infrastructure has been well developed and mature, especially in the United States. The region has one of the largest networks of airports, considerable air movements, and a great level of attention to the safety of flying. This works out in terms of uniform demand for ground as well as airframe-mounted beacons in new aircraft delivery and subsequent maintenance analysis and upgrading of existing cores and airports.

• According to U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, there are 17800 FAA-certified aviation obstruction beacons in U.S.
• According to U.S. Department of Transportation, 420 airports in North America are using LED beacon systems.

Europe having congested airway lanes and strongly controlled airspace has vital interest in the aviation beacon market. The developed airline sector and investments made in the air traffic management (ATM) modernisation programmes, like the Single European Sky ATM Research programme on the continent, stimulate the need for advanced ground navigation aids and combined airport lighting systems.

Asia Pacific Budding as a Powerhouse in the Aviation Beacon Market the Asia Pacific region is quickly rising to be a powerhouse in the aviation beacon market, which can be attributed to an unprecedented increase in air traffic and widespread infrastructural development. The growing classes of China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries are witnessing the growing middle classes and increasing disposable income, leading to the fifteen-fold compound growth in domestic air travel and a triple growth rate in international travel.
