The Global Market for Smart Airports in Terms of Annual Spending is Projected to Exceed US$15 Billion by 2020
Expanding Air Traffic Volumes & Shift Towards
Digital Technologies to Drive the Smart Airports Market, According to a New
Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches
comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market
share, size and demand forecasts on the global Smart Airports market. The global market for Smart Airports in terms of
annual spending is projected to exceed US$15 billion by 2020, driven by surging passenger traffic, rising
need for improved efficiency and effectiveness of airport operations, and
growing investments in airport modernization.
Smart airports is
emerging as the next big thing in the aviation industry primarily to assist
end-to-end information exchange and communication, and collaborative decision
making between all stakeholders, namely airport authorities, passengers,
airports, and aviation operators. Superior functionalities of smart airports
over traditional airports that are driving steady market adoption include
improved revenue generation through mobile-device based targeted advertising
and selling strategies; better operational efficiency through on-demand
resource deployment, capacity planning and utilization, shared services,
service delivery automation, real-time operational planning and disruption
management; enhanced passenger’s travel experience through self-service
facilities, reduced queue lengths, service innovations, congestion management,
event notifications, and digital navigation; smarter and more efficient
security; and effective waste, water, energy, and emissions management.
Future growth
in the market will be driven by continuous growth in air traffic volumes and
escalating demand for automation systems and solutions to ease the burden on
airport infrastructure and workforce; surging IT investments on airport
infrastructure; and rising demand for smart airport technologies that enable
real-time information sharing and collaboration. The pervasive use of smart
devices such as tablets, smartphones and wearable technology for communication
and interaction throughout airport operations offers a strong business case for
flexible and collaborative airport functioning. Smart airport technologies such as beacons,
biometrics, wearables, and Near Field Communications (NFC) are set to transform passenger experience at
airports by reducing stress associated with air travel. Few of the
innumerable technology innovations, advancements, and implementations that are
expected to benefit market prospects in the near term include mobile-based passenger services; IoT-enabled
beacons; robots for passenger and baggage movement; common-use
self-service (CUSS) kiosks; smart systems and scalable air traffic management
(ATM) solutions; advanced passport and authentication technologies; automated
border controls and e-gates, and smart airport capacity planning solutions.
As stated by
the new market research report on Smart Airports, Europe represents the largest market worldwide, supported
by widespread airport automation initiatives. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest
growing market with a CAGR of 7.1% over the analysis period. Continuous rise in
the number of operational airports, growing adoption of advanced airport technologies,
and rising demand for airport information systems and improved baggage handling
systems represent key growth drivers in the region. The Middle East is another
promising regional market for smart airports, where a number of airports are
pursuing projects that target provision of seamless operations to passengers
whereby smart technology adoption at airports continue to gain prominence.
