Global Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance & Control System (A-SMGCS) Market Size Study & Forecast, by Application, Offering, Level, Investment, Sector, and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

Global Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance & Control System (A-SMGCS) Market is valued approximately at USD 5.7 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 5.73% over the forecast period 2025–2035. A-SMGCS plays an indispensable role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of aircraft movements on the ground, especially during low visibility operations and traffic congestion. These systems integrate multiple data sources, including radar, multilateration, satellite navigation, and surveillance sensors to provide real-time guidance and control across all runway and taxiway surfaces. As airports increasingly gear toward smart operations, A-SMGCS acts as the backbone for collaborative decision-making, optimized runway utilization, and collision risk mitigation, driving global demand for its integration and expansion.

Airports across the world are proactively investing in Level 3 and Level 4 A-SMGCS infrastructures to cope with escalating passenger volumes and streamline ground operations in compliance with ICAO safety mandates. The growing complexity of airside environments, propelled by new aircraft technologies and advanced air mobility systems, necessitates the deployment of multi-layered surveillance and guidance systems. Additionally, as urban air mobility and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) begin intersecting with conventional airspace and apron areas, the need for robust ground control infrastructures becomes paramount. However, high capital intensity, prolonged certification cycles, and interoperability issues with legacy systems remain significant hurdles that may temper the market’s pace in the short term.

Regionally, Europe stands at the forefront of A-SMGCS deployment, led by Eurocontrol-driven harmonization efforts and Smart Airport initiatives across major hubs such as Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam. North America follows closely with the FAA’s modernization of surface movement safety systems under the NextGen framework. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, bolstered by massive airport infrastructure investments in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Governments in the Middle East are also scaling up their airport capabilities to accommodate booming aviation growth, with advanced ground movement systems being prioritized in mega airport projects across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
