Commercial Airport Lighting Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Commercial Airport Lighting Market Analysis

The Commercial Airport Lighting Market size is estimated at USD 680.13 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 977.47 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.91% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Increasing air traffic, airport infrastructure expansion and modernization, and compliance with emerging aviation safety and sustainability standards are positively influencing the commercial airport lighting market. However, the market is susceptible to budget constraints, high installation and maintenance costs, a complex regulatory environment, and technological challenges.

• Modernizing airport infrastructure means providing passengers with a seamless travel experience, from check-in to boarding and beyond. It can also improve operational efficiency, reducing flight delays and cancellations due to maintenance issues or outdated technology. For instance, replacing aging runway lighting systems with new LED technology can enhance visibility, improve safety, and reduce energy consumption.
• According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the number of passengers traveling by air is expected to double to 8.2 billion by 2037, with Asia-Pacific leading the growth. The rapid increase in air passenger traffic has necessitated the construction of new aviation infrastructure at strategic locations to support new routes while also boosting the expansion of the current infrastructure to handle more passengers daily/annually. On the other hand, limited funding and budgetary constraints may hinder investments in airport lighting projects, especially for smaller airports or developing regions, leading to delays or scaled-down projects.

Commercial Airport Lighting Industry Segmentation

Commercial airport lighting includes all types of lighting systems used to indicate directions to aircraft during landing, takeoff, and parking and support other aircraft operations. The report also includes the lights installed in runways, taxiways, and airports indoors and lights at the airside, which consist of VASI (visual approach slope indicator) and PAPI (precision approach path indicator), wind cone lights, runway edge and runway end lights, and ALS, among others.

The market is segmented by type, technology, position, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into runway lighting systems, taxiway lighting systems, and apron lighting systems. By technology, the market is classified into LED and non-LED. By position, the market is segmented into inset airfield lights, elevated airfield lights, and precision approach path indicators (PAPI). By geography, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa are also covered. The report also offers the market size and forecasts for each segment based on value (USD).
