Global Aircraft Synthetic Vision System Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global aircraft synthetic vision system (SVS) market

Technavio’s market research analysts predict that the global aircraft synthetic vision system (SVS) market will grow at a CAGR of more than 6% by 2020. The rotorcraft industry has provided an attractive new market for the SVS. As the rotorcrafts fly environments that have low visibility and obstacles, SVS are more helpful in providing enhanced situational awareness to the helicopter pilots in difficult terrains and congested airspace in metropolitan areas. The SVS combined with features like GPS, accelerometers, gyros, and an external database provide pilots with an animated and colorful real-world virtual 3D view. The increased use of SVS in rotorcrafts to decrease the chances of accidents will benefit the overall SVS market during the forecast period. Recently, Universal Avionics has introduced the helicopter version of its SVS-related products.

Owing to the wide implementation of SVS for aviation applications, there has been huge improvements in the regulatory scenario, which has motivated the air transport sector to equip aircraft with SVS.  Such regulations besides encouraging the use of SVS also benefits the operators with the procurement of new aircraft with SVS installation. It also boosts aircraft operators to negotiate for the inclusion of SVS for its fleet, as it allows commercial aircraft operators flying SVS-equipped aircraft to dispatch and depart even if visibility is below authorized minimums.
