Dublin, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Airside Services Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The airside services market has experienced notable momentum, expanding from $5.31 billion in 2025 to an anticipated $5.81 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. This surge is underscored by the rising emphasis on operational safety and efficiency in aircraft movements and turnaround operations. Investments in runway and taxiway inspection are pivotal in upholding airfield integrity, while the escalating aircraft traffic necessitates efficient parking and escort services. Enhanced lighting and sensor systems have further augmented visibility, bolstering operational safety.
Looking ahead, the market is poised to reach $8.26 billion by 2030, sustaining a CAGR of 9.2%. This trend is catalyzed by smart airfield management technologies, significant wildlife management investments, and a focus on airside efficiency to support burgeoning passenger and cargo flows. Predictive maintenance of airside infrastructure and airport modernization initiatives are pivotal in driving equipment upgrades and service enhancements. Key trends forecasted include the evolution of airside ground support equipment services, adoption of advanced towing systems, and integration of runway safety technologies.
The expansion in commercial aviation is anticipated to propel the airside services market forward. The industry is experiencing vibrant growth, as evidenced by a 91% surge in aircraft orders in 2023, driven by substantial increases in both single-aisle and widebody aircraft categories. For instance, in 2023 alone, new aircraft deliveries hit 1,265 units, an 11% rise year-over-year. This upswing in commercial aviation directly fuels the demand for robust airside services, ensuring safety and efficiency in aircraft operations at ground levels.
Leading industry players are channeling their efforts toward innovative solutions like Software as a Service (SaaS) to streamline operations. A notable example is Transoft Solutions’ launch of the ‘AeroCENTRAL’ SaaS platform in October 2023, which facilitates seamless sharing of critical information across airside operations. Additionally, strategic acquisitions, such as Unifi Aviation Inc.’s acquisition of Prospect Airport Services in April 2024, underscore a strategic expansion to reinforce market dominance across the United States airport services sector.
