Which major factors have contributed to the expansion of the flight data recorder market?
The upsurge in air traffic is expected to drive the growth of the flight data recorder market going forward. Air traffic refers to aircraft movement within a specific area or along a particular route. There is increasing air traffic due to the construction of new airports, the expansion of existing facilities, and the improvement of air traffic management systems that have facilitated the growth of air travel capacity. Flight data recorders are critical in air traffic for capturing and analyzing essential flight parameters to enhance safety and investigate incidents. For instance, in January 2024, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Switzerland-based airline and aviation association, Middle Eastern airlines witnessed a 33.3% surge in traffic in 2023 compared to 2022, accompanied by a 26.0% rise in capacity and a load factor of 80.1%. During the same period, North American carriers noted a 28.3% year-on-year traffic boost, with a capacity increase of 22.4% and a load factor reaching 84.6%. Therefore, the upsurge in air traffic is driving the growth of the flight data recorder market.
