Flight Navigation System Market Size Anticipated to Reach at a USD 13,622.93 Million By 2032 And Is Projected To Grow At 7.0% CAGR 2022 to 2032
Flight navigation systems assist in determining the position of an aircraft by accurately maintaining a direction and with respect to the surface of the earth. The major purposes of flight navigation systems are offering enhanced accuracy and location services to pilots. These systems also assist pilots securely land in unpredictable or dangerous climatic conditions.
Factors such as increasing air passenger traffic and growing demand for passenger and aircraft safety is bolstering the growth of flight navigation systems market. For instance, in 2015, India adopted a new navigation system named Gagan that offers enhanced safety and accuracy to pilots. Furthermore, increasing aircraft manufacturing and modernization are boosting the global flight navigation system market. Hence, the increase in passenger traffic and subsequent demand for passenger safety will positively affect the growth of the global flight navigation system market.
Governments of developing countries, such as China and India, are investing in developing airports with advanced technologies to offer enhanced services to growing passenger traffic. For instance, in 2018, China built is own navigation system named Beidou, a GPS navigation system that can be implemented in smartphones, ships, aircraft, and autonomous vehicles. Therefore, technological advancements are also bolstering the market growth. However, stringent government regulations about flight navigation systems might hamper the growth of the market.
