The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reports that passenger traffic is expected to increase by an estimated 5% annually and reach 3.6 billion by 2016. Furthermore, airports around the globe are expanding or being built, which creates opportunities for installation of the latest self-service kiosks. This insight takes a global snapshot...

Global space spending will be relatively flat through 2025, but at the same time, both the number of launches and number of satellites placed in orbit will increase. This is due to the fact that increased competition and innovations will drive overall costs down. These innovations include tools such as 3-Dimensional (3-D) printing, all-electric sat...

The increasing global appetite for energy is driving investment in the utilities infrastructure security market. Critical infrastructure is expensive and involves high-value construction projects. However, costs differ widely between regions and depend significantly upon risk. Also, the cost of securing these sites varies depending on threat percep...

This report analyses the commercial flight training and simulation market, which is in a significant state of flux. The demand for air-transport aircraft is increasing on a global scale; however, the number of pilots in the pipeline is actually decreasing. Regionally, the capability to train new pilots exists in areas that do not have a strong dema...

As civil operators progressively renew legacy helicopters, the new generation of platforms will increasingly face challengesespecially from a financial perspective because of stretched government budgets and irregular turnovers. Moreover, new operational requirements, such as overnight missions to distant locations, are dictating specific requirem...

The global market for operational IT systems in airports is growing at just under 5% CAGR, driven by rising passenger numbers, competition between airports and regulatory requirements to modernise outdated and fragmented systems. Airports are IT-intensive environments that rely on specialised systems to manage mission-critical and business-critica...

In-flight connectivity is a growing trend in the aviation industry; an increasing number of airlines fully or partially integrate cabin connectivity in their fleets, providing in-flight services to improve passenger experience. Passengers are now looking for cheaper and, eventually, free, fast and reliable connectivity services to remain continuous...

The commercial avionics market is highly relying on the larger commercial aviation market and particularly on the number of aircraft being delivered and flying. The more the number of aircraft, the more avionics will be procured by the aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Research shows that one avionics supplier per aircraft could lea...

The airport IT market will grow throughout the forecast period and see all major regions making significant investments. The impact of market drivers differ by region but generally increased passenger numbers, competition between airports, the need for improved efficiency and modernisation plans all contribute to increased investment in analytics a...
