The global remote towers market size was valued at USD 40 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 584.3 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 31.05% during the forecast period (2020 – 2027). Remote Towers are a relatively new development in air traffic control that allows air traffic controllers to remotely manage air traffic at airports from a different location. The technology is gaining popularity as it provides a cost-effective solution for small airports that cannot afford to build traditional control towers. In this system, high-definition cameras and other sensors are installed on masts or poles to provide a 360-degree view of the airport. The cameras send real-time video footage to a remote control center where air traffic controllers can manage takeoffs, landings, and taxiing using digital displays and other control systems. This technology enhances safety and efficiency while reducing costs and increasing flexibility. With the growing demand for air travel, remote towers are becoming an attractive option for small airports that require a modern, flexible and cost-effective air traffic control solution.

Remote tower is a modern concept wherein the overall air traffic services of an airport are managed at a different place than the local control tower. They offer several benefits over the conventional air traffic control systems located at the airport. They provide extensive support tools that enhances the safety and improves the operational activities of the airport. Additionally, they provide several cost-saving options and aid in reduction of maintenance costs. These towers are equipped with sensors, high-resolution cameras, and hardware that deliver optimum quality air traffic services and are adopted widely across several airports across the globe.

DRIVING FACTORS
Increasing Focus on Modernization of Airports to Augur Growth
According to the International Air Transport Association, the global air passenger traffic in 2019 rose by 4.2% when compared to 2018. Increasing air passenger traffic is placing a heavy strain on the terminal and ground facilities across several airports. Besides, this is leading to dangerous air congestion over major cities globally. To prevent any untoward incidents and mishaps, the airports are increasingly focusing on modernizing airport amenities and upgrading the operational services. Growing adoption of technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the modernization process of the airports is expected to bode well for the growth of the global remote towers market during the forecast period.
REGIONAL INSIGHTS
Presence of Major Manufacturers in Europe to Aid Growth
Among all regions, the market in Europe is anticipated to witness considerable growth and hold the highest global remote towers market share during the forecast period. This is attributable to the presence of several manufacturers such as Thales Group, Saab, and Frequentis Group in the region. North America, on the other hand, is expected to hold second position in the market during the projected horizon. This is ascribable to factors such as increasing adoption of modern technology owing to the presence of major companies that are focusing on modernization of airports between 2020 and 2027.
