VHF Air Ground Communication Stations Market Trends

• Growing air traffic for various applications is the main driver of market growth

Over the last decade, the extensive usage of aircraft carriers for many purposes has resulted in an exponential increase in air traffic. Civil aviation and courier/package delivery services are two major applications for them. Passenger aircrafts are the primary cause of increased air traffic because a large portion of the population is flying more frequently. Various schemes, such as frequent flyer loyalty programs and other cost-effective ticketing tactics, have enticed a large portion of the population to choose air travel. Air travel takes substantially less time and provides a better overall experience, all at a lower cost. According to a study issued by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) on April 30, 2020, US airlines carried over 925.5 million passengers in 2019. A growing number of people who are pressed for time or seeking better prospects now travel only by air. Additionally, for quick product delivery, major postal and delivery service providers like FedEx, DHL, and numerous others have heavily embraced the use of air carriers. The use of air delivery is the most popular option for e-commerce purchases made from overseas markets, which require speedy transit methods. The market CAGR for VHF air ground communication station has grown positively due to the significant rise in air traffic caused by all of these causes.

Furthermore, technology advancements in aircraft carriers in the air and ground towers that give support from the ground have been crucial since they have improved communication channel. With fewer chances of any technical errors occurring, communication is now more accurate and effective thanks to improved software systems. Furthermore, the communication process is much better, simpler, and more effective due to the increased acceptance of wireless communication technology. Wireless technologies perform better when it comes to greater network connections and fewer chances of connection loss. Additionally, due to the widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles, ground towers must now directly interact with other aerial vehicles operated manually to avoid collisions. These elements have produced abundant growth prospects for the VHF station for air ground communication market. Thus, driving the VHF air ground communication stations market revenue.
