The global airport runway FOD detection system market is poised to grow steadily at a CAGR of ~4% across the forecast period (2020-2030). Aviation authorities across the globe are focusing on adoption of airport runway FOD detection systems to ensure safety of aircrafts.

Surge in new air travelling routes and a substantial increase in frequency of existing routes will continue to bolster growth for the airport runway FOD detection systems market.

Major players are prioritising on targeting countries with government projects in the pipeline. Strategic partnerships with airport authorities and defense services continue to be a popular growth strategy. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, installation and maintenance are witnessing a steep decline in operations. However, fiscal stimulus and recovery strategies to overcome impact of COVID-19 will present gainful opportunities through 2030.
