AUTOMATED SECURITY E-GATE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automated security e-gate market size was USD 0.84 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 1.53 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

E-gates are automatic self-service barriers that authenticate the passport holder's identity by combining data contained in a chip in biometric passports with a photo or fingerprint obtained at the time of entry. Biometric verification is performed on passengers using facial or iris recognition, fingerprints, or a mix of modalities. A physical barrier, such as a gate or turnstile, opens to allow access after the identification process is completed and the passport holder's identity is verified. The gate or turnstile will not open if the passport holder's identification is not validated or if the technology fails, and an immigration officer will meet the person. E-gates were developed in the mid-2000s as an automated method of reading the ICAO-mandated e-passports of the time.

Facial recognition and other technologies are used by automated security e-gates to authenticate the identification of the individual passing through the gate. An integrated security system is an automated security e-gate. It performs electronic document authentication, establishes the identification of the person holding the documents, and determines border-crossing eligibility based on predefined regulations.

The increased focus on reducing illegal immigration will be one of the primary factors that will have a positive impact on the industry's growth over the projected period. Illegal immigration is a major global concern since it poses a serious threat to a country's security. The presence of unauthorized migrants will lead to legal ambiguity, increased crime, and domestic terrorism.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Non-Profit Organizations to Drive Market Growth

Businesses have adjusted their working practices due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Many companies have to adjust their regulations and procedures in order to keep their staff safe. Businesses have been compelled to adjust their current ways of operating and reevaluate operational choices due to their incapacity to travel and cross borders, and social isolation. The market for managed security services has grown as a result of remote working. The 'new normal,' defined by social distancing, forces real estate firms and the architect ecosystem to go back to the drawing board and reimagine the residential real estate offering by incorporating new-age design, efficiency, and innovation. The necessity for a whole new set of amenities has reappeared and gained relevance as the makeover takes place.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Adoption on Airports to Bolster Market Progress

E-gates shorten the time it takes to process each passenger and make the security process easier. The time it takes to process passengers varies depending on when they check in and when they board the plane. Passengers must arrive at airports well in advance of flight departures under the manual passenger processing system. Furthermore, manual procedures are prone to human mistake, resulting in a possible threat being overlooked. Longer check-in times cause traffic, causing travelers to spend a lot of time waiting in lines. To avoid such congestion, e-gate systems are deployed. The need to transfer people quickly through airport checkpoints, and increased security concerns, necessitate the development of innovative technological solutions.

AUTOMATED SECURITY E-GATE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

By type, the market is segmented into Hardware and Software

By Application

By application, the market is segmented into Automated E-Gates for Critical Infrastructure and Automated E-Gates for Border Control.

The border control segment is expected to lead the market. One of the important automated security e-gate industry trends that is helping to the market's growth is the implementation of facial recognition border control gates. Face recognition systems are more effective at preventing illicit entrance because they can collect face features from a distance and provide quick and exact search results. These factors are likely to influence the automated security E-gate market growth. 

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Adoption of Managed Security Services to Facilitate Industry Progress

In computing, managed security services are network security services that are outsourced to any service provider. Many businesses outsource their security monitoring to managed security service providers (MSSPs) because they lack the necessary experience or personnel in-house. Maintaining any security monitoring system is difficult, and it necessitates the constant assessment and response of qualified personnel. Furthermore, enterprises that require specialized security deployments due to extremely complicated or expansive design, or specific implementation demands with separate systems, might greatly benefit from such services. Furthermore, companies that rely on dynamic resource allocation require more automation to efficiently monitor the dynamic settings in which they operate.

Reducing Risk of Threats to Magnify Market Growth

During the forecast period, increased efficiency in passenger profiling is likely to be a key driving factor in the global automated security E-gate market. The increase in terrorism threats in the aviation industry has resulted in passengers spending more time completing security checks to safeguard their safety. E-gates provide for more efficient passenger profiling in a shorter amount of time. They also aid in the enhancement of security at the country's border. Air travel is the most convenient mode of cross-border travel. However, this could result in a terrorist strike due to cross-border rivalry. Therefore, airport security requirements are critical. E-gate systems assist in the accurate identification of individuals, reducing the risk of threats.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Security Issues to Impede Market Progress

Personal information on the biometric page of the passport, such as name, sex, date of birth, passport number, passport photograph, nationality, and passport country of origin, is often collected by automated border control systems. Other information, such as trip details and the facial biometric template, may be captured as well. When traveler’s passport booklets are processed through E-gates, they are usually no longer stamped.
