Global Airport Security Market by Technology (Screening, Perimeter Security, Access Control, Cyber Security, Surveillance) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
In 2014, the global airport security market was valued at US$ 8.37 billion. These systems include software and devices that help in the detection, prevention, and monitoring of threats to commercial facilities. A need for robust and efficient security measures has increased with the increase in passenger numbers and air travel. Different governments have tightened their security measures in response to terrorist attacks and criminal acts.
U.S. Airport Security Market Share by Technology, 2012-2022 (USD Million).
The airport security market has seen rapid growth in recent years due to technological advancements and the availability of many solutions. This industry has expanded its reach due to the ability of these systems to connect with multiple platforms. Automated screening equipment is also popularized due to real-time data intelligence, which allows for faster screening and reduces time. This trend has been adopted by many large-capacity airports. Self-service check in machines at London Heathrow Airport, for example, not only enhance passenger experience but also speed up the screening process.
There are lucrative opportunities for the sector due to increased activity in airport construction and infrastructure upgrades. Security legislation is constantly being updated to combat terrorist and criminal activity. The U.S. legislation that was passed 16 September 2015 required that all U.S. airways have procedures in place for dealing with active shooters. This is in response to the attack on the TSA Officer at LAX International in 2013. Operators around the world have been required to update their security procedures in accordance with legislative norms. They also need to keep abreast technology developments.
The industry will benefit from increased awareness of technology by passengers and shorter queue times. A reduction in government spending could have a negative impact on new airport construction or upgrade activity. Operators are discouraged from choosing new technology solutions because of the efficiency of existing equipment. Technological upgrades and regulatory mandates have pushed for the adoption of new systems. Growth opportunities include the replacement and upgrade of obsolete systems, and the growth of after-sales revenue.
Technology Insights
Access control systems include keypads and biometric authentication devices as well as card readers and keypads. Cyber security solutions are designed to protect critical data and the IT infrastructure. These solutions are vital for the Computer Reservations System (CRS/GDS) and Air Traffic Control (ATC), information systems. These solutions will experience the fastest growth over the forecast period.
Perimeter security generally refers to equipment and analytics that are used for intrusion detection and supervision. This includes alarms, sensors and electronic gates, gates, bollards and other devices. Screening includes the monitoring of persons, luggage, and cargo, as well as the detection of prohibited objects like weapons, explosives and metals. Surveillance systems can include IP and analog video and ground radar surveillance. Video analytics is another option. Other technologies include Command Control Communication & Integration, lighting and Building Management Systems.
Regional Insights
There has been a significant shift in the market share of this industry across regions. The U.S. was the dominant player in this industry, but it is now moving towards the Middle East and Asia Pacific. These regions are experiencing significant growth due to the growing threat from terrorism. A booming economy and increasing passenger numbers are also key factors in market growth in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
In the last few years, there have been rapid increases in the development and construction of new airports around the world, especially in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa. The aviation sector's growth is crucial for economic growth in any region. Therefore, key strategies for increasing the flow of travelers through capacity expansion are being adopted worldwide.
