GPS And GNSS Receivers In Aviation Market Size And Forecast

GPS And GNSS Receivers In Aviation Market size was valued at USD 224.5 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 542.56 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.25% from 2024 to 2031.

The aviation sector is growing rapidly due to increased overseas trade and travel, as well as the economic growth of emerging nations. Air traffic is growing due to the various benefits of air journeys. In the US, the number of flights increased by 5.0% in 2023. The US Military is also strengthening its powers with the addition of new air crafts and other types of fighting machines. However, the high cost of investment, lack of network infrastructure, inaccurate clocks, and satellite orbit shifts prevent market growth.

Global GPS And GNSS Receivers In Aviation Market Definition

GNSS is a satellite-based network responsible for satellite positioning. GNSS stands for the Global Navigation Satellite System. GPS allows for shorter flying periods and lower fuel usage. GPS-guided landings remove many of the existing time- and fuel-consuming maneuvers. The GPS receiver measures the time it takes a signal from three sending satellites to arrive. The distance to each satellite may be computed since radio waves move at 186,000 miles per second. The intersection of these ranges yields the aircraft’s two-dimensional location.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is an application of GNSS used to track the positioning of a continuously moving entity and it was first developed for military personnel. GNSS and GPS receivers are now widely used in both military and civil. Its role in the Aviation Market is to continuously track and study the positioning of aircraft with low power consumption and more efficient and precise information. GNSS and GPS receivers are primarily used in air navigation, sea vessels, and industrial machinery. Thus, these factors contribute to the growth of GPS And GNSS Receivers In Aviation Market.

Global GPS And GNSS Receivers In Aviation Market Overview

The aviation sector is one of the fastest expanding, ushering in a new age of development and demand for GNSS and GPS technologies. The benefit of having access to numerous satellites is constant accuracy, redundancy, and availability. Increased overseas trade and travel, as well as the economic growth of emerging nations, are pushing the airline business to grow. Air traffic is growing year on year due to the various benefits of air journeys as compared to other modes of transport. According to the Environment and Energy Study Institute, a total of 4.56 billion passengers flew by plane in 2019.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there was an increase resulted from an 18.1% rise in the number of Enplaned Passengers accounting total of 770 Million passengers in 2023 as the number was 652 Million in 2022; as after the pandemic outbreak, July 2020 showed a 2% increase in the numbers. In the United States, the number of flights increased by 5.0% in 2023; in 2022, US Flight Departures accounted for 7,628 and 8,006 in 2023. Such a potential rise in numbers might fuel the demand for GPS & GNSS Receivers in civil aircraft in the US. Likewise, US Military is working harder to strengthen its powers with the addition of new air crafts and other types of fighting machines.

US Air Force introduced many air crafts; two in 2016 and one each in 2017 and 2019. Other departments such as US Army added one jet in 2020, US Navy added one Jet in 2018. The European governments are also allocating some part of the military investment for aircraft development projects. For instance, Germany, France, and Spain are developing their military aircraft to strengthen their powers in the coming future. Germany and France sealed the deal on Europe’s biggest defense project, according to DW Akademie, Germany. The billion-euro Franco-German new combat jet project has been signed to integrate its disparate defense forces and increase its military sovereignty.

With France and Germany, Spain is also taking part in the project. On top of this, the UK has invoked the Futuristic Tempest 6th Generation Fighter project to integrate UK’s Military aircraft defense force, according to Forbes, October 2020. However, the high cost of investment in developing technologically developed aircraft remains a challenge for the global market. The absence of network infrastructure in underdeveloped areas, as well as the precision of location, are set to prevent market growth over the forecasted period. Inaccurate clocks and satellite orbit shifts are anticipated to pose technological obstacles to GPS deployment across the aviation industry.
