The Global Apron Bus Market was valued at USD 459.45 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 10.11% during the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to rising demand for Apron Bus in the aviation industry across the globe.
Apron buses are used to commute people from the terminal to their intended aircraft prepared for traveling. These buses carry both air traffic and staff from one place in the airport to another. The market has witnessed a rapid surge in recent years due to the rise of the aviation industry, with a burgeoning middle-class population opting for air travel, both domestic and international. This phenomenon has stressed the need to expand aviation services through the purchase of a large number of aircraft as well as the rapid development of airports and newer runways, further promoting the need for apron buses to cater to air traffic.
The Global Apron Bus Market was valued at USD 459.45 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 10.11% during the forecast period (2024-2032). One of the key factors that have supported the demand for apron buses is the rise in the air travel infrastructure through the development of newer runways and airports. The increasing number of airports across the globe has also assisted the demand for newer apron buses to be purchased and used for air traffic commutes through the terminals to the intended aircraft. For instance, in 2024, The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), announced to invest USD289 million for 129 airports in 40 states of the US for improving the safety and efficiency of air travel. The investment is part of a mega USD 25 billion investment for funding the airport improvement through terminal expansion, baggage systems upgrade, runway enhancement, and air traffic infrastructure improvements.
In another instance, in 2024, the government of Portugal announced the construction of a mega airport, Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport, with a total cost of USD 10.64 billion.
Considering the expansion of air travel infrastructure on a mass scale the demand for apron buses in the respective projects is anticipated to fuel the demand for apron buses.
This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the Global Apron Bus Market as identified by our team of research experts.
Rising Low-Cost Carrier Operations in Developing Regions
Many low-cost carrier companies have emerged in the region, offering budget airline services for domestic and international air travel in countries such as India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Australia, Japan, etc. Considering the high demand for low-cost carriers, the airport expansions and purchase of new aircraft have increased, leading to the rising demand for apron buses for commute.
