Asia-Pacific
In Asia-Pacific, the growth of the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market is driven by the adoption of next-generation aircraft communication technologies in the aviation industry in China, Japan, South Korea, and India. Additionally, ADS-B technology is used at commercial and military airports for navigation and flight tracking. Therefore, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Asia-Pacific is expected to register a CAGR of 20.55% during the forecast period.
China
China accounted for the majority share of the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in 2018, due to investments in ATC by airport authorities in the country. Furthermore, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is collaborating with prominent industry players to test the use of ADS-B technology in its airspace to offer enhanced safety to passengers and flight crew. For example, in 2017, the CAAC, in collaboration with Juneyao Airlines and Airbus SAS, completed the first commercial airliner flight demonstration using ADS-B technology at the Hongqiao International Airport, Shanghai. The automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in China is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 21.30% during the forecast period.
India
India is a key market in Asia-Pacific owing to the growth in air passenger traffic over the last ten years. Moreover, the AAI has implemented ADS-B technology in the Indian airspace to offer enhanced situational awareness to pilots. In July 2019, Aireon signed a contract with the AAI to provide space-based ADS-B surveillance service in the oceanic airspace in Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. The automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in India is expected to register a CAGR of 25.52% during the forecast period.
Japan
Japan is an emerging market for automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) with regional airlines increasingly deploying such technologies. For instance, in 2017, Japan Airlines Limited deployed Rockwell Collins’ ADS-B technology to offer enhanced communication between airports and flight crew. Hence, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Japan is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 23.36% during the forecast period.
Australia
In Australia, stringent aviation regulations mandating the use of ADS-B technology are expected to drive the growth of the market. According to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia, all aircraft operating in Australia are required to be equipped with 1090 MHz extended squitter ADS-B transponders. The automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Australia is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 24.90% during the forecast period.
Hong Kong
The adoption of ADS-B technology by aviation authorities in Hong Kong is expected to drive market growth. In 2014, the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) of Hong Kong, responsible for providing air traffic control services and monitoring airlines, installed eight ADS-B ground stations for the surveillance of aircraft and helicopters. The automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Hong Kong is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 20.66% during the forecast period.
Vietnam
In Vietnam, stringent regulations regarding aircraft safety are expected to drive market growth. For example, all aircraft operating at or above flight level (FL) 290 with MTOW 15,000 kgs or heavier are required to be equipped with ADS-B technology. Therefore, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Vietnam is expected to register a CAGR of 23.35% during the forecast period.
Indonesia
According to the Directorate General for Civil Aviation, all airlines flying in Indonesian airspace at or above FL 290 are required to be equipped with ADS-B Mode S transponders as of 2018. Hence, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Vietnam is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 23.81% during the forecast period.
Sri Lanka
The growing adoption of ADS-B technology by airports in Sri Lanka is expected to drive market growth in the country. For example, in 2017, the Transport and Civil Aviation Ministry inaugurated the ADS-B operations center at the Ratmalana Airport. With the implementation of new technology, airline operators will be able to experience smooth communication and tracking.
Singapore
The rising adoption of space-based ADS-B technology by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) is expected to drive market growth in the country. In 2016, the CAAS signed an agreement with Aireon to procure space-based ADS-B data for the Singapore Flight Information Region (FIR). Furthermore, the growing adoption of ADS-B technology by aviation companies based in Singapore is fueling market growth. For example, in 2018, AIRMARK Aviation, an air cargo transportation service provider, signed a contract with Rockwell Collins to procure an ADS-B solution. Hence, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in Singapore is expected to register a CAGR of 23.12% during the forecast period.
South Korea
In South Korea, the rising adoption of flight navigation solutions equipped with ADS-B and radar technologies by low-cost carriers is expected to drive market growth. For example, in 2017, Jeju Air procured AIRCOM FlightTracker, a flight navigation solution equipped with ADS-B technology, from SITAONAIR. The solution enabled the airline to offer enhanced tracking capabilities to the pilots. Therefore, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) market in South Korea is projected to register a CAGR of 22.39% during the forecast period.
Rest of Asia-Pacific
The market in the rest of Asia-Pacific includes Thailand, New Zealand, and Malaysia. Increasing investments by the governments in these countries in ADS-B technology are expected to drive market growth. In October 2019, the Government of New Zealand announced plans to invest USD 12.5 million in an ADS-B transponder grant scheme with an aim to modernize the country’s aviation system and integrate unmanned drones and aircraft.
