AIRPORT DOLLY MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global airport dolly market size was valued at approximately USD 0.16 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.32 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8.2% from 2025 to 2033.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Fluctuating Raw Material Prices Could Strangle Market Growth

The cost of the raw materials required to make the airport trolley is unstable. Iron is the most volatile of all of these due to increased demand from various sectors. The production of steel uses around 98 percent of the iron ore mined worldwide. Depending on the grade and quality, ferroalloy costs vary from one place to another. Therefore, the fluctuating cost of the raw materials needed to make airport dollies as well as the other variables may limit the market's ability to expand globally.
