The automation of airports represents a groundbreaking segment within the aviation sector, centered on the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies to improve both operational efficiency and the passenger experience. Automation such as self-service kiosks, biometric solutions, and automated baggage handling aim to simplify numerous procedures, spanning from check-in and security screening to boarding in airports. The advantages of airport automation are significant, including reduced wait times, diminished human error, and lowered operational costs, all of which ultimately contribute to heightened customer satisfaction and loyalty.
With passenger numbers rising, especially in Southeast Asia, airports are turning to automation technologies to improve efficiency and enhance the passenger experience. As a result, the global market for airport automation is projected to experience considerable growth during the forecast period.
Based on type of system, the global airport automation market is segmented into automation & control, data acquisition & communication, data storage and software & solutions. According to our estimates, currently, automation & control segment captures the majority of the market. This can be attributed to the demand for enhanced operational efficiency, better passenger experiences, and increased safety and security measures.
On the other hand, the data storage segment is projected to achieve a relatively higher compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period. This is due to the rapid rise in data produced by various automated systems, including passenger processing, baggage handling, and real-time monitoring systems for airports.
Based on type of technology, the global airport automation market is segmented into air traffic management (ATM), automated ground handling, baggage handling systems, information technology (IT) solutions, passenger processing and security systems. According to our estimates, currently, baggage handling systems segment captures the majority of the market. Moreover, this segment is anticipated to experience a relatively higher growth rate during the forecast period. This is attributed to its essential role in improving operational efficiency and enhancing passenger satisfaction.
Based on level of automation, the global airport automation market is segmented into level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4. According to our estimates, currently, level 1 segment captures the majority of the market. This can be attributed to the widespread use of self-service technologies in airports, including automated check-in kiosks and mobile boarding passes, which greatly improve passenger convenience and optimize operations.
On the other hand, the level 2 segment is anticipated to experience a relatively higher growth rate during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to its capacity to boost operational efficiency and enhance passenger experiences considering the increasing traffic.
Based on type of airport operation, the global airport automation market is segmented into airside, landside and terminal side. According to our estimates, currently, landside segment captures the majority of the market. Additionally, this segment is expected to experience a relatively higher CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the essential need for improving passenger experiences and operational effectiveness in areas such as check-in, security screening, and baggage handling.
Based on end user, the global airport automation market is segmented into cargo airports, commercial airports and military airports. According to our estimates, currently, commercial airports segment captures the majority of the market. Additionally, this segment is anticipated to experience a comparatively higher CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their capacity to process a significant number of passengers and flights on a daily basis, creating a demand for advanced technological solutions to enhance both efficiency and manage complexity.
Based on geographical regions, the airport automation market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Middle East and North Africa, and the rest of the world. According to our estimates, currently, North America captures the majority share of the market.
However, the market in Asia is expected to grow at a relatively higher CAGR during the forecast period. This rapid growth is primarily driven by a rising middle class and increasing demand for air travel, which are encouraging investments in smart airport projects. Additionally, this growth is also propelled by the need for improved operational efficiency and enhanced customer satisfaction, as airports strive to accommodate rising passenger numbers and optimize processes through automation technologies.
