Remote Towers Global Market Report 2024

The remote towers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.31 billion in 2023 to $0.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the growth in air traffic, pressures for cost reduction, efforts to enhance safety and surveillance, the demand for flexible air traffic solutions, and initiatives for the modernization of airports.

The remote towers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing complexity of air traffic, expansion of global airports, integration with unmanned aerial systems (UAS), a focus on operational efficiency, and the anticipated recovery in global air travel. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of advanced automation, implementation of 5G connectivity, adoption of cloud-based solutions, global standardization initiatives, and the evolution of regulatory frameworks..

The growth of the remote-tower market is anticipated to be propelled by the increasing number of passengers flying. The term 'flying passenger traffic' denotes the transportation of passengers by both aircraft and positioning flights. Remote towers utilize modern camera and sensor technology to provide controllers with a clearer view of the airport and nearby airspace, enhancing safety and instilling greater trust among passengers. As evidenced by data from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE) in 2022, total passenger movements increased from 1.23 million in November 2021 to 16.68 million passengers in November 2022. Additionally, in December 2021, passengers on US airlines increased by 119% from October 2020 to October 2021. Therefore, the rising number of passengers flying is a key driver of the remote-tower market.

The anticipated growth of the remote-tower market is further supported by the increasing number of plane accidents and the growing demand for airline safety. Airplane accidents, defined as incidents involving aircraft collisions, crashes, or catastrophes, and the broader focus on airline safety contribute to the market's expansion. Remote towers play a crucial role in averting and managing aviation accidents by enhancing air traffic management, situational awareness, and decision-making efficiency. According to the 2022 Safety Report for Global Aviation released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in March 2023, the overall accident rate increased from 1.13 accidents per million sectors in 2021 to 1.21 per million sectors in 2022. Hence, the increasing focus on airline safety and the number of plane accidents are driving the remote-tower market.

A key trend in the remote-tower market is the adoption of technological advancements by companies to maintain their competitive positions. In June 2023, Saab AB, a Sweden-based aerospace and defense company, introduced r-TWR, a modular, safe, and rapidly deployable digital tower in collaboration with Conlog Oy. The r-TWR Deployable is designed to offer high availability, modularity, and flexibility, being deployable within an hour and remotely controlled from a secure base or a centralized center. Technological advancements, such as these, enhance air traffic control operations and improve safety.

Major companies operating in the remote-tower market are embracing strategic partnerships to advance digital tower technology. In December 2022, Altitude Angel, a UK-based aerospace company, announced a partnership with Saab AB, a Sweden-based defense and aerospace company. Altitude Angel's UTM technology platform will be integrated into Saab's Digital Tower (r-TWR) solution. This collaboration allows for the incorporation of GuardianUTM services into Saab's digital tower solution, facilitating enhanced situational awareness and management of both manned and unmanned flights.

In February 2022, Adacel Technologies Limited, an Australia-based software and system designer, acquired Virtual ATC Tower from Cybernetica. This acquisition accelerates Adacel's entry into the expanding market for virtual ATC tower solutions, offering innovative solutions for remotely controlling air traffic.
