The electrification of airport ground operations is fueling demand for aerospace batteries in ground support equipment (GSE) such as tugs, lifts, belt loaders, and tow tractors. Airports are embracing cleaner alternatives to reduce emissions and operating costs.

According to Stratview Research, the aerospace battery market size was USD 187 million in 2023 and is likely to grow at a decent CAGR of 4.9% during 2024-2034 to reach USD 334.8 million in 2034.

• Harsh operating environments (temperature, dust, moisture)
• Limited trained personnel for battery service

Opportunities:

• Integration of fast-charging battery packs
• Use of modular battery units across GSE types
• Battery retrofits for existing diesel GSE fleets
• Partnerships with airport authorities for EV infrastructure

Trends:

• Smart GSE battery packs with live diagnostics
• Adoption of lithium-titanate (LTO) batteries for high-cycle use
• Growth in mobile charging systems and battery swap stations
• Integration of GSE with digital asset tracking systems

Conclusion:

The electrification of ground operations is transforming battery demand beyond aircraft. As airports modernize, aerospace battery manufacturers are finding growing opportunities in delivering robust, scalable power solutions for ground-based aviation needs.
