Air Traffic Control Equipment Market to Reach $11.7B by 2025 with 8.6% CAGR

Published: Jan 2026

Global air traffic control equipment market was valued at $11.7 billion in 2025 and is growing at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period (2026-2035). Modern aircraft, with lightweight airframes and electric motors, require precise air traffic monitoring and navigation, resulting in market growth fueled by the rising use of radar and surveillance systems. This shift toward advanced, electrically powered aircraft is illustrated by recent developments in production-ready eVTOL models. For instance, in December 2025, AIR introduced its production-ready eVTOL aircraft, moving to commercial manufacturing with an inaugural flight planned in Southern Israel. Future models will be used in the US for demonstrations and certifications. The aircraft boasts a 550 lbs payload capacity and features a new airframe by EDAG, electric motors, and upgraded avionics for GPS-denied navigation. Design improvements for operational efficiency include optimized battery integration, an expanded cargo bay, and foldable wings for compact storage, enhancing flight efficiency, range, and stability through an advanced flight control system.
