AUTOMATIC BOARDING GATES MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global automatic boarding gates market size was USD 0.09 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 0.14 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.

Automatic boarding gates allow for self-clearance and use facial recognition technology to authenticate passengers' identities by merely scanning their boarding passes. During traditional boarding, travelers must present their passports and boarding passes to airline personnel for face-to-face identity verification.

COVID-19 Impact: Rising Demand for the Product due to Growing Awareness for Contactless Access to Maintain Safety of Individuals

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the automatic boarding gates market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 interruption did not have a significant impact on the automatic boarding gates market. Due to the lockdowns caused by the coronavirus, business owners experienced a number of difficulties, including shattered supply chains, logistical problems with delivering finished goods, and the need to recruit staff from quarantines. However, the epidemic increased people's awareness of approaching and leaving the area. In order to maintain safety and security, airline security needed to limit access. Systems for contactless authentication mechanisms were becoming more and more popular. A large increase in demand was also seen for automatic boarding gates with various access control system. This has led to an enormous surge in product demand in both domestic and international airports.

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of Facial Recognition Technology to Replace Traditional Boarding Process

Beginning in early 2021, Delta will begin using technology for facial recognition to identify travelers at airport checkpoints. Passengers simply needed a TSA PreCheck membership, their passport number, and the fly Delta app to participate. To utilize their digital identification in replacement of a traditional ID and boarding card at the airport, a passenger only needs to look into the camera and have their face scanned.

DRIVING FACTORS

Safe and Secure Manner of Functioning to Expand the Automatic Gates Installation Rates

With the introduction of automatic boarding gates, the airport authorities have complete control over closing and opening the gate as well as selecting who is allowed on the flight. Security personnel who would typically be positioned at the entryway to supervise and let passengers aboard the aircraft are no longer necessary with automated gate systems. These modern entry systems have the capability to send information to operators' devices regarding people entering these gates, enabling them to monitor entry and exit information in real time. Consequently, during the anticipated time, the automatic boarding gates market growth will develop.

Increased Regulations in Passenger Profiling to Avoid Threats of Serious Terrorism Danger

The aviation sector faces a serious terrorism danger. In order to protect the safety of passengers, a great deal of time is devoted to security screening. Effective passenger profiling is made possible by automatic gates. Security personnel personally check travel documents, behavior, and appearance as part of the passenger profiling process at the moment. Automatic boarding gates at airports simplify the procedure and make it simple to see potential hazards. As a result, the expansion of the autonomous gates market growth during the projected time frame is being driven by increasing efficiency in passenger profiling.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Initial Investment and few Other Disadvantages Associated can Reduce the Sales of these Boarding Gates

Due to the integration of several electrical, electronic, and mechanical pieces into the automated gate units, boarding gates that are automated require higher investments than simple gates. These gates are more expensive due to a number of major pricing factors, including the necessity for experienced labor and a thorough site analysis. In addition, there are a few problems including a short remote control range. Further research suggests that factors such as cable problems, temperature effects, and the gate partially opening before closing all reduce the sales of automatic boarding gates.
