Smart Airport Market By Application (Landside, Airside, Terminal Side), By Airport Size (Small, Medium, Large), By Type (Airport 2.0, Airport 3.0, Airport 4.0): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032
The smart airport aims to seamlessly connect the entire passenger journey, allowing travelers to personalize their experience from booking to returning home. It offers passengers greater choice, flexibility, and convenience to enhance their journey. Smart airports extensively utilize intelligent systems, including purpose-specific sensors and devices across various airport areas, centralizing control, management, and planning within a digital environment.
By applying innovative technologies, smart airports may enhance staff performance, optimize passenger flows, promote sustainability, and bolster security. Real-time data collection enables improvements in operational efficiency, cost reduction, and productivity enhancement. Smart airports deliver several benefits, such as improved operational efficiency, cost savings, increased productivity, and refined operations. They continually evolve to meet changing technological advancements and the evolving demands of airport users.Smart airports have a primary objective of enhancing the entire travel experience, making it more seamless, convenient, and enjoyable for passengers. This encompasses the simplification of various processes such as check-in, security screenings, and baggage handling. Ultimately, passengers experience shorter waiting times, reduced stress, and an overall improvement in their travel journey. These advancements are made possible through the implementation of smart technologies, including self-check-in kiosks, mobile applications for real-time updates, and intelligent security systems, all of which contribute to a more efficient and pleasant travel experience.
The smart airport market has been segmented on the basis of application, airport size, type, and region. By application, the market is segmented into landside, airside, and terminal side. By airport size, the market is divided into small, medium, and large. By type, the market is segmented into airport 2.0, airport 3.0, and airport 4.0. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA.
North America is the largest region in the smart airport market. The U.S. and Canada are major early adopters of integrating smart technologies in airports to handle increasing air passenger traffic efficiently. Moreover, The U.S. airlines experienced a significant increase in passenger numbers, carrying an additional 194 million passengers compared to the previous year, marking a 30% year-to-year growth in 2022.
In addition, smart airport system makers supplied innovative systems to the U.S. airports for document verification. For instance, in April 2021, SITA provided biometric solution to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which offers a streamlined experience for domestic travelers flying with United Airlines. In this trial, passengers have the option to connect their driver's license with their facial biometrics during the check-in process. From there, they can seamlessly complete the check-in, baggage drops, and boarding procedures by scanning their face at each stage of the journey.
In addition, integration of AI in smart airports increased in various applications such as wayfinding and promotion. For instance, in July 2023, ARway.ai, a Canadian AI-powered Augmented Reality Experience platform, has been chosen by TM Forum to participate in its Smart Airport Initiative. ARway.ai is expected to collaborate with technology giants such as Intel, Amazon, Vodafone, and other partners. Their role in this initiative is to provide cutting-edge technologies for wayfinding, retail advertising, and promotion of traveler amenities at airports.
In addition, the Switzerland-based airport operators adopt advance security systems to detect any threats. For instance, in March 2023, The Royal Schiphol Group, a Dutch airport management company partnered with Pangiam, a security technology company, to create an innovative method for efficiently and safely screening hand baggage. This technology, powered by artificial intelligence, has the potential to accelerate the security screening process for travelers while maintaining high safety standards. The collaboration aims to investigate how advanced technology by Pangiam may enhance and expedite hand baggage screening procedures at Schiphol Airport and potentially other airports. This technology employs artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to examine images of hand baggage, identifying prohibited items and security threats.
