The Global Transportation Safety and Transportation Security Market is valued at approximately USD 62.96 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to expand at a compelling CAGR of 10.70% over the forecast period of 2025-2035. Transportation Safety and Security encompasses a broad spectrum of systems, technologies, and solutions designed to safeguard passengers, cargo, and infrastructure across airways, seaways, roadways, and railways. These measures are deployed to minimize risks, mitigate threats, and ensure operational continuity in an environment increasingly vulnerable to both physical hazards and cybersecurity breaches. Growing urbanization, rising passenger traffic, and intensified global trade have placed unprecedented pressure on transportation networks, thereby driving the need for advanced safety and security measures.
The relentless escalation of global travel and trade volumes has markedly fueled demand for robust safety and security infrastructures. Rising threats ranging from terrorism to cyberattacks and even natural disasters have compelled both governments and private operators to accelerate investments in surveillance, scanning, and screening systems that enhance resilience. According to industry insights, airports and seaports across the globe are ramping up capital expenditure to incorporate AI-powered monitoring, predictive analytics, and next-generation screening technologies. Simultaneously, the growing regulatory focus on passenger safety, coupled with international mandates for cargo and logistics security, further catalyzes the adoption of these solutions. While the integration of renewable energy into transportation networks fosters efficiency, the rise of digitized systems has also exposed vulnerabilities-presenting both challenges and opportunities for innovation in security frameworks.

- Airways are expected to dominate the market over the forecast horizon, owing to heightened concerns around aviation safety, stringent international regulations, and significant investments in airport infrastructure modernization. With global passenger numbers expected to double in the next two decades, the aviation industry remains under intense pressure to enhance safety mechanisms, ranging from advanced surveillance cameras and biometric access systems to highly sophisticated screening technologies. While airways lead in terms of revenue contribution, seaways are emerging as a crucial growth driver, fueled by surging international trade volumes, containerization, and maritime security challenges that necessitate advanced tracking and fire safety systems.
- When viewed by system type, surveillance technologies currently contribute the lion's share of revenue, driven by widespread deployment across airports, rail stations, seaports, and highway monitoring systems. Their dominance stems from the increasing reliance on real-time monitoring and AI-driven analytics to prevent incidents and ensure compliance with stringent safety protocols. However, scanning and screening systems are projected to record the fastest growth, propelled by rapid technological advancements, the advent of 3D and CT scanning technologies, and mandatory adoption in passenger and cargo transportation. This evolving market dynamic underscores the dual narrative of maturity in surveillance and acceleration in scanning and screening innovation.
- The key regions considered for the Global Transportation Safety and Transportation Security Market study include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2025, primarily due to its mature transportation infrastructure, rising investments in airport and port security, and strong regulatory frameworks governing public safety. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is set to emerge as the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. Rapid urbanization, the proliferation of smart city projects, increasing air passenger traffic in countries such as China and India, and heightened security concerns across seaways and roadways are collectively propelling demand. Europe continues to remain a critical player, benefiting from harmonized EU safety policies and significant investments in railway modernization, while the Middle East focuses heavily on securing its growing aviation hubs.
