Airport Robot Market
Growth Factors of Airport Robot Market
The airport robot market size was valued at USD 500.3 million in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 535.3 million in 2024 to USD 901.9 million in 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.74% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The global outbreak of COVID-19 significantly diminished the popularity of air travel, affecting Asia Pacific and North America, where passenger traffic was reduced by 71.5% in March. This led to lesser demand and a stagnant manufacturing process that slowed down the airport robot market growth and put a stop to fresh investments. However, similar to other sectors, airport authorities initiated the adoption of autonomous robots to curb virus transmission for reduced cleaning frequency, with growth in the market after the post-pandemic period.
The high number of air passengers is expected to grow aggressively and is estimated that it will be around 8.2 billion by 2037 increasing the demand for more new airports and efficient services for business which boosts the airport robot market share. To this, airports are migrating to higher levels of robotic technologies to enhance time spent on check-in, services such as baggage handling services and passenger checking among others. For instance, the Airports Authority of India is implementing a new airport at Hollongi which is equipped with all the latest amenities such as smart valet robot parking to meet the rising demand for aircraft.
Additionally, due to the advancement of smart technologies such as AI, IoT and AR, smart airports are emerging that are shaping the passenger experience as well as the airport services. Ministries for transportation in developed nations are propelling the involvement of smart and green airports to maximize productivity and minimize harm to the environment. Rising demand for airport-specific robots such as its Airstar robot in South Korea and RADA in India, integrated with self-driving features and voice recognition capabilities. This technological change is evident in Munich Airport’s humanoid robot “Josie Pepper”.
