The global airside services market was valued at $2.5 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $4.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2031.
Airside services encompass range of processes, which ensure that an aircraft runs smoothly and performs on time arrival and departure. The airside operations include aircraft handling, passenger handling and cargo handling. Range of powered and non-powered equipment airplane push-back & hook-up, forklifts & lifts, carts, vehicles, air-conditioning tugs, belt & container loaders, light-duty trucks, and other equipment that serve the purpose of powering, towing, and servicing are included in airside services. Further, such equipment enables passenger handling, baggage handling, aircraft mobility, repair, service, and maintenance functions.

The growth of airside services market is driven by factors such as increase in investment to support brown filed and green field airside services, rise in passenger traffic across the globe, and adoption of new technologies supporting automation and self-services. The COVID-19 is having a notable impact on airside services industry and has shifted the business dynamics within the forecast timeframe. Currently majority of the airports are focused toward reducing operational cost, increasing operational efficiency and reducing their carbon footprint. For instance, in June 2022, the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) announced acquisition of 62 electric vehicles that is anticipated to optimize their airside operations. The electric vehicles are anticipated to be gradually induced within three to four months and reduce approximately 10,000 tons of greenhouse emissions per annum.
The airside services market is segmented on the basis of airport category, operation, service equipment, and end use. Depending upon airport category, the market is fragmented into Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D airports. Depending on operation, the market is classified by aircraft handling, passenger handling, and cargo handling. The platform category is categorized into hardware, software and service. The end use segment includes commercial and military. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Adoption of Total Airport Management (TAM)
The success of individual stakeholders is anticipated to determine the direction of airport management in the future. All agents, from landside to terminal & airside, are anticipated to be placed into a unified platform, enabling real-time analysis to assist decision-making. By connecting processes and systems across the airport, total airport management (TAM) promotes data-driven decision making, comprehensive KPI management, and the integration of operations. TAM includes performance-based airside services that permit the development, adoption, and upkeep of the Airport Operational Plan (AOP) on the basis of performance. This ensures fairness and the resolution of potential conflicts of interest between stakeholders and makes sure that everyone is putting forth their best effort in the direction of a common objective.
Rise in air-traffic, surpassing pre-COVID levels
The rise in aviation traffic is attributed to a variety of factors. The primary reason is population and economic expansion, which is being fueled by the burgeoning middle class. By 2035, the global economy is projected to increase by 3% annually, while aviation traffic is projected to grow by an average of 6% annually. The second development element is introducing low-cost airlines with competitive rates on well-travelled routes. They play a significant role in the intensification of air traffic in Europe; at present, they account for more than 40% of Europe's and 25% of traffic globally. By encouraging international airlines to lower ticket rates, these businesses significantly influence airline prices.

Threat of cybersecurity and data breach
The entire safe operation of the airport environment and passenger safety depend on airport security. Despite having multi-layered security systems for passport checks and luggage scans, many airports are becoming targets of cyber-attacks. Such assaults have occurred in the travel business, most especially in the airline industry. According to IATA, hacks cost the world economy $460 billion annually. In the next three years, cybersecurity is anticipated to account for over $33 billion in IT spending anticipated for airlines and airports.
In order to combat such threats, airports across the world have invested heavily on cyber security solutions. In July 2021, Manchester Airport Group (MAG) selected independent cyber security services provider Bridewell as its security partner to boost security event awareness by 1500%. Through the creation of an internal security operations center that is more contemporary and responsive, the cooperation has enabled the airport to revolutionize its visibility and defense against cyber-attacks. Real-time activity monitoring on devices and servers has increased thanks to the alliance from the previous 5,000 to 80,000 events per second.

Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies
AI employs robust algorithms to analyze massive volumes of data and spot patterns. These are used in airports to estimate processing times by looking at things like productivity, wait for length, and the number of open security lanes. Some significant operations that can be automated through the integration of AI include analyzing demanded flight routes, consumer trends, expected marginal seat revenue, ancillary price optimization, airspace safety, aircraft maintenance, feedback analysis, crew management, consumer front-end automation, fuel efficiency and optimization, inflight sales & food supply, fraud detection and in-airport self-service among others. could rise to 8.2 billion in 2037 at 3.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
