Global Aerobridge Market size is projected to be valued $1 Billion by 2024; with a CAGR of 8% from 2017 to 2025. Aerobridge, also known as Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB) allows secured and smooth movement of passengers. An aerobridge can be fixed or movable depending upon the building design, sill height, and other operational requirements. They provide with enhanced and comfortable access to aircraft, especially for disabled, children and elderly passengers. Many security agencies prefer aerobridge over ferry bus to avoid vehicular traffic, risk of accident and terror.
Increasing passenger traffic at domestic as well as international airports is expected to drive the market. Moreover, increasing investments in installing operating aerobridges for domestic flights and rise in passenger in tier-II cities of developing counties are also expected to drive the market. However, lack of technical knowledge in handling the aerobridge causing accidents may limit the growth of the market. For instance, in July 2016, Air India flight travelling to Riyadh hits aerobridge at Mumbai Airport. Many low cost aircraft avoid using them due to high cost imposed on the usage of bridges also limits the growth of the market. Furthermore, untapped markets in developing countries and domestic airports could provide opportunity for the growth of market.
