For instance, in December 2022, the International Air Transport Association introduced a new transition to enhanced ground support equipment. Enhanced GSE integrated with anti-collision and inching technology helps to improve vehicle control, boost docking accuracy, and further reduce the risk of getting damaged and personnel injuries.
Moreover, the global aviation sector is rapidly focusing on the adoption of greener products, and various regulatory authorities around the world are constantly working on the implementation of guidelines regarding eco-friendly processes and technologies that are likely to create high market demand and growth opportunities for greener aircraft ground support equipment in the aviation industry over the coming years.
However, the rapid shift towards electric ground support equipment from conventional diesel ground support equipment results in an extensive rise in the demand for charging infrastructure and facilities at airports. Thus, the need for charging facilities and inadequate infrastructure for electric GSE, as it requires high initial capital investments, are key factors expected to restrict the growth of the global market over the anticipated period.

Non-electric segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The non-electric segment accounted for a considerable market share in 2022, which is mainly driven by the wide presence of a variety of equipment at airports including tractors, water service vehicles, high lift loader vehicles, belt loaders, and lavatory vehicles. In addition, with the increasing penetration of cargo movement across several nations, the demand for efficient GSEs has gained high traction and growing significantly.
Furthermore, the electric segment is expected to grow fastest at a CAGR during the projected period owing to a rapid increase in the focus of the government’s green initiatives and a high adoption rate of greener and low carbon emission products. Moreover, increasing preferences for the replacement of old equipment with new electric ground support equipment in most of the world’s developed airports is further likely to boost the segment market growth.
New sales segment dominated the market with a significant revenue share
The new sales segment dominated the global market in 2022 with a significant market share in revenue. Segment's growth is attributed to the increased number of air travelers globally, increasing spending on modernization and enhancement of airports, and extensive aviation industry expansion. In addition, introducing much new and developed equipment by key market companies with lower emissions, higher efficiency, no carbon emissions, and other compliance with stringent regulatory norms is fueling the adoption of new equipment and driving the product's sales.
For instance, in June 2022, Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, India, announced its plan to reduce the emissions associated with airside operations with the help of inducting 62 new electric vehicles over the course of 4 months. The new vehicles will be induced to serve multiple purposes, from cleaning the airport to transporting passengers and goods between aircraft and terminals.
Commercial sector is expected to hold the significant revenue share
The commercial sector is projected to hold a significant market share in 2022 with a healthy growth rate. The commercial segment is further categorized into passenger, cargo, and aircraft services. The cargo services segment of a commercial segment will likely witness the fastest market growth over the coming years due to the extensive usage of these services in transporting luggage, mail, and cargo within the airports to the terminals. Belt loaders also carry out cargo services, mainly used for loading and unloading baggage and cargo.
The mobile segment is expected to witness the highest growth rate
The mobile segment is expected to grow fastest at a CAGR during the anticipated period. The mobile ground support equipment is those types of equipment that are not restricted to one installed location and can be used from anywhere without any need to be connected to airport terminals. Mobile GSEs usually comprise ramp service equipment and cargo loading. Moreover, rapidly growing advancements and innovations in technology results in new features and facilities that encourage airport vendors to opt for these kinds of devices in their systems.
The demand in Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth
The Asia Pacific region is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region over the forecast period at a CAGR. The growth of the regional market is mainly driven by rising investment in the aviation sector, especially among emerging economies such as India, China, and Indonesia, and rapid urbanization in the region. For instance, according to COMAC, a Chinese manufacturer of planes, China will become the world's largest aviation market by 2040 and account for around 22% of the total global passenger aircraft fleet.
However, the North America region accounted for the largest market share in 2022 and is likely to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. Higher spending on research & development activities and increased focus on developing eco-friendly and greener ground support equipment through converting GSE fleets to electrical are key factors driving the market growth in the region. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration initiatives like VALE and ARB, which give higher importance to producing quality products and using scientific technology, boost the market's growth.
