Global Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems Market is valued approximately USD 1084.68 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 11.56% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) systems are a crucial component of airport infrastructure designed to assist pilots during takeoff, landing, and taxiing of aircraft, especially during low visibility conditions such as night time or adverse weather conditions.
These lighting systems are strategically installed on and around airport runways, taxiways, and apron areas to provide visual guidance and reference points for pilots. The Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems market is expanding because of factors such as rising number of Air Passenger traffic and growing number of international air trade activities. As a result, the demand of Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems has progressively increased in the international market during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Airports experiencing a significant increase in air passenger traffic need to invest in upgrading their AGL systems. This could include installing advanced lighting technologies, improving signage, and enhancing overall infrastructure to accommodate the higher demand. According to the Statista, global number of scheduled passengers boarded by the airline industry accounts 2185 million in 2021 and reached up to 3781 million in 2022. Furthermore, air passenger traffic can influence regulatory requirements for airport operations. AGL systems need to comply with aviation safety standards and regulations to ensure that they meet the needs of the growing air traffic while maintaining the highest level of safety.
Another important factor drives the Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems market is increasing number of international air trade activities. the expansion of international air trade activities has the potential to influence the design, implementation, and maintenance of Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) systems at airports. The emphasis is on ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with international standards in response to the increased demands on airport infrastructure. In addition, as per Statista, global air cargo industry accounts USD 196.97 billion in 2022 and projected to reach up to USD 210.27 billion by the year 2027.
Moreover, technological advancements in Airfield Ground Lighting Systems and rising investments towards airport terminal expansion is anticipated to create a lucrative growth opportunity for the market over the forecast period. However, high installation and maintenance cost associated with Airfield Ground Lighting Systems and stringent regulations and certification requirements from aviation authorities can delay the adoption of new AGL technologies is going to impede overall market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
By Technology, the market is studied under LED and Non-LED. Among these LEDs dominate the market share with 80.24% in 2022. The adoption of LED technology is driven by several key factors that collectively contribute to improved efficiency, sustainability, and safety in airfield operations. LEDs consume significantly less energy compared to traditional lighting technologies. This efficiency not only contributes to cost savings for airports but also aligns with the industry’s focus on sustainable and environmentally responsible practices.

By Type, the market is studied under Taxiway Lighting System, Runway Lighting Systems and Others. Among these taxiway Lighting dominates the market share with 50.59% in 2022. Taxiway lights, including edge lights, centerline lights, and stop bar lights, play a critical role in providing clear visual guidance to pilots during taxiing, especially in low-visibility conditions or at night. These lights help prevent runway incursions, improve aircraft sequencing, and minimize the risk of collisions.

The key regions considered for the Global Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing air traffic and growing focus on safety Airport infrastructure development in the region. The rising focus on safety aligns with regulatory requirements and international standards, necessitating airports to invest in state-of-the-art AGL technologies. This includes the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions, automation, and smart technologies within AGL systems.

The region’s dominant performance is anticipated to propel the overall demand of Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is also expected to grow fastest during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rapid urbanization and economic growth in the region. Economic growth result in the expansion and modernization of airports to accommodate the surge in air traffic. This expansion includes upgrading AGL systems to meet the evolving demands, incorporating advanced technologies for better visibility, energy efficiency, and compliance with safety standards.
