Aerobridge Market (By Type: Fixed Aerobridge, Movable Aerobridge; By Structure: Glass Walled, Steel Walled; By Product: Commuter Bridge, Dual Boarding Bridge, Apron Drive Bridge, T-Bridge, Others; By Geography: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, RoW) Global Scenario, Market Size, Outlook, Trend and Forecast, 2015-2024

Global Aerobridge Market is estimated to reach $1.5 billion by 2024 with the CAGR of 8.1% between 2016 and 2024. Aerobridge, also known as Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB), which is enclosed and mobile passage, connecting airport terminals to aircrafts directly, allows secured and smooth movement of passengers. An aerobridge can be fixed or movable depending upon the sill height, building design and other operational requirements. They provide with enhanced and comfortable access to aircraft, especially for disabled, children and elderly passengers. The passenger boarding bridges or aerobridges also provides shelter to the passenger during rain and other weather conditions. 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.
The market is segmented based on the type, structure, product type and geography. By type is further segmented into fixed aerobridge and movable aerobridge. Structure can be further segmented into glass walled and steel walled. Furthermore, product type is segmented into commuter bridge, dual boarding bridge, apron drive bridge, T-bridge and others.
