Airport Information systems is one of the main tools for modernising the operation of airports
Markets and Markets, a management consulting firm, has projected that the Airport Information Systems market currently valued at USD 4.24 billion in 2024 will reach USD 5.36 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4 pc from 2024 to 2030.
Airport Information systems is one of the main tools for modernising the operation of airports, by incorporating machine learning and big data analytics to optimise functions like predicting flight delays, managing crowd flow, and automated decision-making.
By processing vast amounts of operational data in real time, AIS can adjust resource allocation, predict bottlenecks, and offer proactive solutions for improving airport efficiency.
In a press statement the company says North American market is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2024 to 2030 owing to its good air-transport infrastructure, high utilisation of advanced technologies, and a large investment in research and development.
It also adds that based on different criteria, varied aspects of AIS are expected to witness significant growth till 2030.
It adds that in light of changing global security threats, AIS Passenger screening systems are anticipated to dominate the market because of an increase in the focus of security, efficiency, and compliance on aviation. These systems have various technologies, such as X-ray scanners, biometric identity verification, and advanced threat detection that can be critical in keeping safe and smooth air travels.
Additionally, in order to improve passenger communication, operational efficiency, and overall airport experience, based on flight operation, digital and signage systems are expected to hold the largest share in the AIS market.
According to the statement, in terms of application, Passenger processing systems segment is estimated to account for the largest share of AIS due to increasing demand for efficient, seamless, and secure passenger experience in the ever-changing aviation industry.
Additionally, block chain technology is being explored in AIS to improve baggage handling and cargo management in terms of secure, transparent, and real-time tracking of goods.
Another significant technological aspect is the integration of augmented reality, which offers passengers interactive maps and navigation to their gates or amenities. Cloud computing also provides scalability and flexibility, where airports can manage and analyse data from various systems while reducing the need for on-premises infrastructure, adds the statement.
