Ground support equipment (GSE) refers to an advanced support equipment, which is specifically designed for supporting and optimizing aircraft operations at airports. It comprises airplane push-back, hook-up, forklifts, carts, air-conditioning, container loaders, and light-duty trucks that are used for towing, powering, and servicing purposes. GSE enables technician and ground crew to check the condition of the aircraft before the take-off, ensuring mobility, and handling baggage. This, in turn, aids in enhancing operational efficiency, addressing and resolving aircraft-related issues instantly, and generating a long-term return of investments (ROI) by minimizing additional operational expenses. At present, GSE relies on non-electric, electric, and hybrid power sources. 

Ground Support Equipment Market Trends:

The increasing warehouse operations, along with the constant upgradations at airports, such as the establishment of new terminals, gates, and passenger service equipment, is primarily driving the ground support equipment market growth. This can be attributed to the rising air passenger traffic and the growing need to support safer aircraft operations.  In line with this, the rising environmental consciousness has led governments of various countries to considerably invest in green initiatives, such as the procurement of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and green GSE for inhibiting the release of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This, in turn, is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Additionally, significant technological advancements, including the introduction of collaborative decision-making (CDM) tools to enhance operational efficiency and improve the planning process are contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as escalating number of air travels and the refurbishment of GSE products to fuel aircraft turnaround, eliminate additional costs, and mitigate congestion and overall delays, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
