According to a new market research study titled 'Aircraft Communication Systems Market to 2025 - Global Analysis and Forecasts by Types, Components and Aircraft Types, the global aircraft communication systems market is calculated to account for US$ 15,375.1 Mn by 2025 as compared to US$ 7112.0 Mn in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period from 2017 to 2025. The report highlights the trends prevalent in the global aircraft communication systems market and the factors driving the market along with those that act as deterrents to its growth.

The expansion of aircraft communication systems market is poised during the forecast period from 2017 to 2025, relating to various factors prevailing in the industry across the globe. The key factor fueling the market growth is the significant rise in demand for satellite communication among the end users. This is due to the fact that, SATCOMs are early geostationary communication satellites used by airliners and defense forces in order to manage pilot-controller conversation. SATCOM facilitates in voice and data transmitting services, allowing the pilot to communicate with the ground station controller and airline operation centre. The SATCOM are installed on every aircraft ranging from light jets, piston engine aircrafts, turboprop aircrafts, turbojets, jumbo jets, fighter aircrafts, military transport aircraft, and even commercial and military aircrafts.

The global airspace is experiencing a huge demand for satellite based communication and navigation system, owing to limitation of air traffic management for long haul flights over oceans. With rapidly developing nations such as India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Brazil among others, the demand for satellite communication is expected to escalate the demand for enhanced communication and navigation systems, as various airlines in these regions are introducing long haul flights in order to increase their footprints across the globe. Research initiatives are being undertaken by various research organizations in order to minimize the criticalities to track or locate aircraft flying over sea or ocean. Major research initiatives are being undertaken in the United States and European nations, which are anticipated to boost the growth of aircraft communication systems market. The Single Sky ATM Research (SESAR) initiative adopted by European nation to transform European airspace in to high performance air transport activity. Similarly, NextGen Avionics is an initiative adopted by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which focuses on bridging the communication gap between pilot and air traffic controller. The new developments in air traffic management, various developed as well as developing countries are mandating the usage of Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC), and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for satellite communication and navigation during flights. These trends among the commercial aviation sector and military aviation sector are anticipated to catalyze the demand for satellite based communication and navigation systems in the coming years.
