Market Growth Factors
Investment in Airport Modernization and Sustainability Goals is one of the factors driving growth in the Australia ground support equipment market. Heavy investments in airports such as Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne to improve airside capacity and improve aircraft servicing infrastructure are anticipated to drive growth. Electric baggage tractors, passenger stairs with a self-propelling mechanism and multi-deck catering trucks are examples of high-tech GSE in the airside. National sustainability goals including reduction of emissions and aviation noise have led to the retirement of internal combustion engines from GSE fleets. Manufacturers are working with airport authorities to develop emission-free equipment that can be monitored in real time.
Increasing international capacity and freighter operations are expected to drive demand for GSE. The growth of international operations, and the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, are expected to drive demand for GSE that can service wide-bodied jets. This is complemented by the major upgrades at airports in baggage, catering, aircraft fuel, and frequency changes that are expected to spur demand for high-reach de-icing rigs, modularized fuelers, and others. Airport facilities with cargo handling capabilities for pharmaceuticals, perishables and high-value goods integrated with automated systems and cold chain management are fuelling air cargo growth. Investments, such as Textron Aviation’s 35,000-square-foot aircraft service center at Essendon Fields Airport, are improving maintenance and operational efficiency.
In ground support equipment, hybrid-electric solutions with longer service intervals are being used due to increasing sustainability pressures and limited peak operating windows. In logistics, there is demand for integrated, data-improved solutions that enable efficient, reliable and safe operations as well as predictable performance. With hybrid and electric GSE in conjunction with telematics systems and AI-enabled predictive maintenance applications, the company has been able to both improve cargo and passenger handling, and provide a competitive advantage throughout the regional market, in line with the recent trend towards introducing green and high-efficiency technologies in the GSE procurement process.
