The Global Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) Market is valued at approximately USD 9.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a striking CAGR of 20.61% over the forecast period 2025–2035. ADS-B, a cornerstone technology in the transformation of air traffic management systems, enables real-time aircraft surveillance by broadcasting positional data derived from onboard GPS systems. As global aviation grapples with mounting traffic congestion, safety mandates, and the shift toward automation, ADS-B has emerged as an indispensable innovation to ensure precision, efficiency, and scalability in air navigation and monitoring systems.
The momentum toward ADS-B adoption has been supercharged by regulatory mandates such as the FAA’s equipage requirements and Eurocontrol’s Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) implementation. Airlines and aircraft operators are actively retrofitting existing fleets or integrating ADS-B systems into new aircraft builds to comply with global airspace modernization directives. Technological advancements in transponders, antennas, and receivers have also improved cost-efficiency, enabling even small fleet operators and developing economies to adopt the solution at scale. Furthermore, the deployment of ADS-B In, which facilitates cockpit situational awareness, is elevating flight crew performance and reducing dependency on traditional radar-based surveillance infrastructures.
Geographically, North America currently leads the ADS-B market due to its early and widespread compliance with mandatory equipage policies, bolstered by the FAA’s NextGen program. Europe follows closely, driven by its Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) initiative aimed at enhancing interoperability and surveillance efficiency across nations. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth, attributed to the region’s aviation boom, aggressive airport infrastructure expansion, and escalating demand for safer, real-time air traffic surveillance solutions in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia. These dynamics are complemented by rising investments in military-grade ADS-B systems for national security applications.
