Ever-increasing passenger load at airports is likely to expand the global smart airport market size in the near future. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the total number of travelers rose by 6.4% from 2017 levels to reach 4.3 billion in 2018. Low-cost air carriers, the ICAO reports, carried approximately 1.3 billion passengers across the globe, which is around 31% of the total world passenger air traffic. American airports alone handled a record 813.8 million travelers in 2018, according to the US Transport Security Administration (TSA). Moreover, the TSA managed to undertake a more stringent form of carry-on screening procedures at airports across the US. This astronomical rise in air travel is attributable to rising income and overall economic development in the world, generating a desperate need for smart management of airport operations.

Heightened Security Threats to Fuel the Adoption of Intelligent Systems at Airports
One of the most prominent smart airport market trends is the rising rate of integration of Internet of Things (IoT) at airports to counter the growing security concerns. For example, IoT can efficiently use passenger data based on biometric information and help quick identification and profiling of suspicious persons. This can make airport security staff more proactive and prepared for any potential threats and make traveling safer and more comfortable. In addition to this, smart airports can help efficiently monitor critical airport infrastructure and streamline security and check-in processes for passengers. Thus, IoT can significantly enhance the value of an airport, which will fuel the smart airport market revenue in the foreseeable future. Even more importantly, smart airports can become models for sustainable infrastructure through the use of green technologies and eco-friendly tools such as LED bulbs.
North America to Lead the Pack, Advancements in Cloud Computing to Drive the Market
North America is anticipated to dominate the smart airport market share during the forecast period owing to fast-developing cloud infrastructure, increasing number of smart devices, and a well-established telecommunications system in the region. The market in the region is further propelled by the rapid adoption of smart technologies. In Asia-Pacific, the market is set to surge at a formidable CAGR on account of the flourishing tourism industry in India and China. Swift evolution in the domestic aviation infrastructure in these countries through proactive government policies will further accelerate the smart airport market growth in the coming decade.
