GCC Countries Passenger Boarding Bridge Market Size, Share and Trends Analysis Report, By Elevation System (Hydraulic and Electro-Mechanical), By Product Type (Apron Drive, Commuter Bridges, Nose-Loader Bridges, T-Bridges, and Over-The-Wing Bridges), By Tunnel Type (Air-Conditioned and Un-Air-Conditioned), By Docking Type (Manual and Intelligent), and By Structure (Glass-Walled, Steel-Walled, and Glass-Steel-Walled) Forecast Period (2022-2028)

The GCC countries passenger boarding bridge market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.9 % during the forecast period (2022-2028). With the increase in passenger traffic, many airlines are now purchasing larger aircraft to carry more passengers in one trip. Airlines order larger aircraft such as the Boeing 747-8 and the Airbus A380. After an increase in the number of large aircraft (VLA) shipments, airport terminals have to pick up more passengers per gate per flight. Riding all passengers using stairs can be time-consuming and can lead to potential financial losses as flight time increases. Additionally, it also prefers alternative non-polluting materials such as AI airport infrastructure and passenger bridges to provide safety for passengers. More research and development activities and investments create opportunities for market growth players.

Passenger bridges are designed to guide passengers to and from the plane comfortably and safely as passengers can be exposed to the weather and the noise of the airport. As passenger bridges are an extension of the airport terminal itself, they are designed to blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment and the terminal structure. Thus, to increase the passenger capacity, the government and others are focusing on the expansion of airports in large cities with overcrowded passengers which is expected to accelerate the market growth during the forecast period.

Some major players in the market include ThyssenKrupp AG, John Bean Technologies Corp., FMT Aircraft AB, CIMC Ltd., and ADELTE Group, among others. The market players are contributing significantly to the growth of the market by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships and collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance,

• In August 2019, Thyssenkrupp entered into a contract to install 42 modern passenger bridges at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport in Spain. The contract includes the maintenance of 122 passenger bridges and repairs to another 10. This will help both parties to have a long-term business relationship.
• In March 2019, ADELTE received contracts from three ports in the US to bring a total of six ocean-going bridges to their ports.
