Smart Airport Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Focus of Market Vendors on Customer-Centric Offerings
Companies in the smart airport industry are focusing on providing customer-centric solutions to boost the adoption of smart airport technologies. Passengers' demand for baggage tracking is on the rise worldwide, which is one of the main focus areas for airport authorities. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), in 2021, ~75% of the air passengers in China wanted to know their baggage tracking details and collection time. As per the same research, ~86% of airlines in China focus on providing baggage tracking notifications, and 57% of the airlines also provide baggage collection information to their passengers across China. Thus, vendors in the smart airport market focus on providing Smart Airline Baggage Management Systems to airlines to automate their business operations and provide a better experience to passengers. Such systems are integrated with cloud-based airline applications and databases, cloud-based analytics, and a machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT platform to connect, manage, and secure real-time data and events from smart luggage. Moreover, the deployment of baggage management systems in airports also helps to reduce the overall operational costs, along with boosting overall operational efficiencies.
New Airport Construction Projects
The rise in the number of airport construction projects across emerging countries such as China and India is likely to generate new opportunities for market vendors in the coming years. Several government plans related to the construction of new airports and expansion/upgrade of existing airports is another major factors likely to support the deployment of smart airport systems in the coming years. . For instance, the Indian government in 2022 has already announced its plans to build 220 airports by the end of 2025. Moreover, in 2018, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) announced their plans to construct 216 new airports by the end of 2035 makes the total airport count to 450 airports by 2035 (234 airports currently in 2023). Such projects are likely to generate new opportunities for smart airport technology companies in the coming years.
