India Ground Handling Services Market Size Set to Touch USD 2.8 Billion by 2031
India Ground Handling Services Market is booming, primarily due to an increasing air traffic, the government's supportive initiatives, and robust foreign direct investments.
BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated India Ground Handling Services Market size by value at USD 1.83 billion in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, BlueWeave expects India Ground Handling Services Market size to expand at a significant CAGR of 6.12% reaching a value of USD 2.78 billion by 2031. The growth of Ground Handling Services Market in India is propelled by a rapid increase in air passenger and cargo traffic, ongoing modernization of airport infrastructure, and growing international investments. The market encompasses critical operations, like baggage handling, aircraft maintenance, and catering, for seamless airport functioning. A key factor fueling the market expansion is the rising demand for air travel, propelled by India's expanding middle class and amplified by ICAO's projected global passenger growth. Government initiatives such as the UDAN scheme and Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) are enhancing regional access and service coverage, while major airport upgrades in cities like Delhi and Hyderabad are boosting demand for efficient ground handling for higher freight volumes. Furthermore, favorable policies promoting airport privatization and increased participation from global players like AIASL are enhancing operational capabilities through advanced ground support equipment and digital technologies. The integration of IoT-based solutions and anti-collision systems is also improving safety and minimizing downtime, ultimately contributing to the heightened efficiency and reliability of ground handling operations throughout India's aviation ecosystem.
Passenger Handling Service Type Leads India Market
The passenger handling segment holds the largest share of India Ground Handling Services Market by service type. Passenger handling systems encompass equipment, such as boarding staircases, jet bridges, buses, and catering trucks that assist passengers during boarding and de-boarding, as well as the loading and unloading of food and beverages for both passengers and crew. Major airports increasingly utilize passenger boarding bridges, which offer quicker and more efficient boarding compared to traditional movable staircases. The surge in airport investments aimed at expanding passenger handling capacity is encouraging ground handling companies and airlines to enhance their fleets of such equipment. The trend is expected to significantly propel the growth of the passenger handling segment of India Ground Handling Services Market in the coming years.
