1. What Is the ADS-B Market?
The ADS-B Market comprises avionics equipment that broadcasts or receives aircraft identity, position, altitude, and velocity data derived from GNSS. These transmissions support surveillance by air traffic control and neighboring aircraft. It is an avionics capital equipment market spanning ADS-B Out transmit equipment, ADS-B In receive and display equipment, and combined ADS-B In and Out systems. The market includes 1090 MHz extended squitter ADS-B Out and In equipment for transport category aircraft, and UAT 978 MHz units for US general aviation below 18,000 feet. Multilateration ground networks and space-based ADS-B satellite reception infrastructure are also within scope. ADS-B Out transponder-based 1090ES transmit systems, ADS-B In cockpit display of traffic information equipment, and traffic information service broadcast ground infrastructure are within scope. ADS-B Out data quality monitoring and anomaly detection programs for improving ATC trajectory prediction accuracy are within current commercial scope. The lifecycle scope covers new equipment certification and installation, regulatory mandate compliance program management, and database and software update subscriptions. These systems are procured by commercial airlines, general aviation operators, business aviation fleets, and air navigation service providers operating surveillance ground stations. The supply chain includes ADS-B avionics OEMs, GNSS receiver module manufacturers, ground station infrastructure providers, and avionics installation repair stations. FAA 14 CFR Part 91.225 ADS-B Out mandate and EASA IR SUR ADS-B implementing rule define the certified equipment performance standards within respective US and EU regulatory scope. The scope excludes primary and secondary surveillance radar, which detect aircraft independently of onboard equipment rather than receiving ADS-B broadcast transmissions. It also excludes TCAS traffic alert and collision avoidance systems, which use transponder interrogation for collision avoidance rather than ADS-B surveillance broadcast reception.

4. Key Market Opportunity
A key opportunity in the ADS-B Market is ADS-B Out data quality monitoring and anomaly detection programs improving ATC trajectory prediction accuracy by identifying and correcting ADS-B position and velocity report errors from aircraft avionics faults. Mandatory ADS-B Out fleet compliance has been achieved in regulated airspace, but ADS-B broadcast data quality varies across installed avionics with position and velocity reporting errors that compromise ATC automation trajectory prediction accuracy dependent on broadcast data quality. ADS-B data quality monitoring programs from FAA ADS-B data quality analysis, Eurocontrol, and avionics certification programs are developing ground-based monitoring of ADS-B broadcast accuracy and aircraft-specific anomaly reporting for avionics fault identification and correction. ATC automation system operators and avionics service organizations that develop ADS-B data quality monitoring capability will improve trajectory prediction accuracy, identify airborne avionics faults before incidents, support national airspace authority data quality enforcement programs, and build specialized ADS-B performance analysis service businesses.

7. Key Market Trends (2026–2034)
Three major forces are shaping the ADS-B Market trajectory over the forecast period:
ADS-B Out Mandate Compliance Has Reached High Coverage Levels in Regulated Airspace, Creating Revenue Opportunity in Remaining Exempted Aircraft Categories.General aviation and agricultural aircraft exempt from 2020 mandates represent a remaining addressable market as regulatory pressure and insurance requirements drive late adopters. Garmin GDL 88 and uAvionix skyBeacon continued supplying ADS-B Out retrofit installations for non-commercial general aviation aircraft in 2024.
ADS-B IN Surveillance Applications Are Expanding Beyond Collision Avoidance Into Traffic-Aware Navigation and Spacing Advisory Systems.Cockpit traffic display using ADS-B In data enables pilots to maintain visual separation and spacing in non-radar environments, improving situational awareness beyond TCAS-only capability. ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot expanded ADS-B In traffic integration for tablet-based electronic flight bag applications in 2024.
Space-Based ADS-B Coverage Is Enabling Aircraft Surveillance Across Oceanic and Remote Airspace Lacking Terrestrial ADS-B Ground Station Networks.Low Earth Orbit satellite ADS-B receiver networks capture aircraft position data over oceans, polar regions, and remote mountainous terrain where ground infrastructure is absent. Aireon expanded space-based ADS-B data service coverage and customer agreements with additional ANSP subscribers in 2024, including Pacific Rim and South American airspace customers.
