Report Outlook
The North America Smart Airport market size was valued at USD 4,038.2 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period. The smart airport market is an innovation and a new step towards passenger experience. Companies are adopting IoT and digital technologies for enhancing passenger experiences. As airports are increasing the adoption of IoT and SMAC (social mobile analytics and cloud) technologies, they are improving passenger experiences including traveler loyalty. A technologically advanced airport can enhance business opportunities and can influence airlines to partner and increase aeronautical revenue for the airports. Installation of digital grid is expected to improve operational efficiencies including security capabilities, passenger services, and the exchange of real time information. It is presumed to deliver a wide range of services to the customers and build a higher level of customer experience than before. Increasing demand for real-time information is expected to propel the growth for smart airport market as it eases the burden on airport infrastructure and workforce. Modernization of old airports, introduction of new airports, development in commercial aviation, and focus on green initiatives are the key growth drivers expected to boost market for smart airports.
In North America, growing demand of automated and self-service processes, increasing demand of real time information at airports, and modernization of old airports are the key factors driving the growth of smart airports market. The aviation industry is getting concerned about the rising competition and are focusing more on customer centric approach for creating better passenger experience. The industry is focusing more on innovation and is making efforts towards cost reduction for passengers. Moreover, the increasing demand of tablets and smartphones is playing vital role in changing the outlook of smart airport market. Furthermore, digital airports are engaging passengers to drive efficiencies and receive an enhanced experience with partners and employees. Airports are expanding their infrastructure and expanding the smart airport market to give a self-service experience to passengers. Moreover, airports are focusing more on operational efficiency and changing infrastructure, expanding the terminals, and introduction of baggage self-drop system among other facilities to modernize the airports. However, vulnerability in the cyber world has a severe negative impact on the growth of this market. Cyber security threats are the major concern which may bother passengers in sharing their details with the smart airport system. Many cyber security concerns are a result of malicious actions which results in breach of confidentiality and integrity. This is primarily expected to hinder the smart airport market growth during the forecast period.

Modernization at the airports has begun with slot allocation management system, terminal operation management system, airport collaborative decision-making system, and ground handling management system and flight radar. All these systems are controlled by a unified interface that is used as a repository on travel information, for real-time activity streaming, and predictive monitoring platform. The unified interface is also collaborated with the retail systems located at the airports. This smart airport experience provides the customers with an end-to-end real-time communication from their homes till the time of boarding. The various growth areas in communication system technology are, adoption of wireless airports and adoption of social platforms.
The North America industry for security systems is showing medium penetration and medium growth as new security products are expanding but cyber security is behaving as a threat. The growth of security systems is expected to increase by various factors such as, new biometrics products, e-tag system and ground surveillance radar. As technology continues to grow, suppliers are also moving ahead, and airport solutions providers are moving towards more technology savvy suppliers. The key players in the smart airports market develop and offer various new technologies including security systems, communication systems, passenger, cargo & baggage handling control, air ground traffic, endpoint devices and many others. In April 2019, IBM along with Arrow Electronics launched the Smart Airport Asset Management Solution. Similarly, companies such as Honeywell International Inc, Siemens AG, Amadeus, Rockwell Collins Inc. and many others are strategically enhancing their expertise to strengthen their market presence.
