The global airport baggage handling system market was valued at $9.5 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $17.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2023 to 2032.
The airport baggage handling system market refers to the industry focused on the design, manufacture, installation, maintenance, and upgrading of systems and equipment used for handling passenger baggage within airports. This market encompasses a wide range of technologies, components, and services dedicated to efficiently managing the flow of luggage from check-in counters through security screening, sorting, transfer, and ultimately delivery to departing flights or baggage claim areas for arriving passengers.
An airport baggage handling system is a sophisticated network of equipment, technologies, and processes designed to manage and transport passenger luggage efficiently within an airport terminal. The primary function of a BHS is to ensure that checked-in baggage moves seamlessly from the point of check-in through security screening, sorting, and ultimately to the correct departure gate or baggage claim area for arriving passengers. The key components of an airport BHS typically include conveyor systems, baggage screening technologies, sorting equipment, and automated handling systems.
Conveyor systems form the backbone of a BHS, providing continuous movement of baggage between various checkpoints and destinations within the airport terminal. These conveyor belts transport luggage from the check-in counters to security screening areas, where advanced screening technologies such as X-ray machines or computed tomography (CT) scanners inspect the contents of each bag for security purposes.
The airport baggage handling system are driven by a technological advancement, as advances in automation and robotics are revolutionizing baggage handling processes. Automated systems, including robotic arms and conveyor belts with integrated sorting capabilities, streamline baggage movement from check-in to loading onto aircraft. Robotics also enable tasks such as loading and unloading baggage carts, reducing manual labor and improving efficiency. Furthermore, anticipated growth in air travel has driven the demand for the airport baggage handling system. However, high consequences of system failure have hampered the expansion of airport baggage handling systems. System failures can cause significant disruptions in baggage handling operations, leading to delays in baggage processing, missed connections, and increased turnaround times for flights. This can result in decreased airport efficiency and increased operational costs for airlines and airport operators. Furthermore, High upfront and maintenance cost of baggage handling system must restrict the airport baggage handling system growth. On the contrary, utilization of robotization in the airports is giving the airport baggage handling system strategic opportunity. Automated robotic systems can streamline baggage handling processes by efficiently sorting, loading, and unloading luggage. This reduces manual labor requirements, minimizes handling time, and optimizes overall workflow efficiency.
