Baggage Handling Systems Market

Global Baggage Handling Systems Market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 7% during the forecast period 2021-2027. The market growth is driven by various driving factors such as the growth of the air travel and maritime tourism industry, increase in passenger and cargo traffic, the rising rate in development of smart cities, increasing investment in the development of airports, and technological advancements. Whereas high initial and maintenance costs and system failures may restrain the overall industrial growth over the forecast period. 

Growth of air-travel and maritime tourism industry

Trends in population growth, global aging, and middle-class growth in Africa and Asia-Pacific are expected to significantly impact the airline industry. The industry is expected to record an increase in the number of passengers over the coming years, as more travelers are expected from non-traditional markets, due to the rise in the mid-income group population along with an increase in per capita income and growing affordability. 

Developing economies are majorly contributing to the air travel and maritime tourism industry. For instance, India's domestic aviation market accounted as the third-largest market in the world and is anticipated to surpass the UK aviation market by 2024. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation, in FY19, passenger traffic at Indian airports accounted for 344.70 million from 308.75 million in 2017-18. The growth of the Indian aviation market is majorly driven by the increasing working-class population and widening middle-class demography. 

The rapid and high growth in the Indian aviation industry opens up lucrative opportunities that support the overall infrastructural development and opening of new airports with advanced technologies such as smart operations and efficient baggage handling systems. The participation of regional government majorly encourages participation from the private sector. Over the period, India has witnessed an allowance of foreign investment up to 49% under automatic routes in scheduled air transport service, regional air transport service, and domestic scheduled passenger.
