The global passport reader market size is estimated to reach USD 791.8 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing adoption of e-passports and need for authentication of passports at airport points, border control facilities, and immigration points are expected to drive the growth of the market. The increasing number of air passengers is expected to subsequently trigger the building of new airports, especially in developing economies across the world. The governments of various countries are investing heavily in construction of airports and this is expected to increase the demand for passport readers over the forecast period.
Furthermore, increasing adoption of new technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enables saving the time required for airport staff to manually enter the data of passengers in the systems. The use of RFID technology has increased owing to the demand from industries & sectors such as transport, retail, medical, and defense. The continuous advances in biometric technologies are further driving the demand for readers to strengthen security at airports and borders by reducing forgery.
North America dominated the global passport reader market in 2023 and is projected to continue to dominate over the forecast period owing to the rapid and early adoption of advanced technologies such as multi-row OCR reader for machine-readable passports. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR owing to the increasing production of readers in countries such as India and China. Countries such as the U.S., Australia, and Germany are estimated to generate considerable revenue over the forecast period.
