The North American market for automated weather observation systems (AWOS) is expected to reach US$ 358.1 Million by 2032, experiencing a CAGR of 6% across the 2022-2032 period of assessment, concludes a recently published market research report by Fact. MR. Over a trillion dollars are anticipated to be invested globally by 2032 to improve airport infrastructure. An estimated $5 Billion is expected to be spent solely on AWOS, offering a considerable scope of potential for existing and future AWOS solution providers to profit.
During the 2015-2021 historical period of assessment, a CAGR of 4% was documented, with the market closing at US$ 189 Million. Prospects declined considerably in the first half of 2020, and much of 2021, attributed to complete or partial suspension of air traffic, one of the primary end-users of automated weather observing systems, in the wake of COVID-19. Eventually, the lifting of lockdowns amid reducing infection rates has buoyed growth prospects considerably.
Furthermore, rising passenger safety concerns, desire for increased runway capacity and airport efficiency, as well as strategic re-alignment by major competitors, are expected to drive the market in a positive direction. Besides aerospace, the agriculture industry is also deploying automated weather observing systems, with farmers seeking to predict weather patterns and plan their products accordingly.
