The global airport security market size reached USD 15.4 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 27.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.36% during 2025-2033. The rising integration of advanced technologies to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of security systems, implementation of stringent regulations to prevent the occurrence of security breaches, and increasing number of individuals preferring air travel are some of the factors impelling the growth of the market.
Airport security refers to the measures and procedures to ensure the safety and security of passengers, staff, and property at the airport and onboard aircraft from potential threats. The purpose of airport security is to prevent unauthorized access to aircraft, acts of terrorism, hijacking, and other criminal activities that may threaten the safety of individuals and the security of aviation. Airport security measures include various procedures and technologies, including passenger screening, baggage screening, and security checks for airport staff and contractors. Security personnel, such as airport security officers, air marshals, and law enforcement agencies, play an essential role in maintaining airport security. The implementation of airport security measures is essential for ensuring public safety and maintaining confidence in air travel. Airport security threats can come from various sources, including terrorist activities, criminal acts, and other security breaches. In recent years, airport security has become vital due to the rising number of terrorist attacks and other security threats worldwide.
One of the primary factors driving the market is the increasing number of terrorist attacks and security breaches worldwide. In response to these threats, airports are investing heavily in advanced security technologies and procedures to ensure the safety and security of passengers and airport personnel. For instance, airports are using enhanced passenger screening measures such as full-body scanners, biometric identification, and behavioral analysis. These technologies enable airports to detect potential security threats more effectively and improve the efficiency of security screening procedures, thus reducing wait times and improving the overall passenger experience. Additionally, the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones for recreational and commercial purposes has led to the need for drone detection and mitigation solutions at airports. The threat posed by drones to aviation safety has prompted the development of radar and radio frequency sensors, which can detect and track drones in the vicinity of airports. Moreover, the implementation of security systems that are integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms is another factor driving the market. These systems can analyze large volumes of data in real-time and detect potential threats more accurately and quickly, enabling security personnel to respond more effectively. Apart from this, the adoption of cloud-based security solutions that offer several advantages, including improved scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional on-premise security solutions, is creating a positive market outlook. Furthermore, the growing popularity of self-service biometric kiosks and mobile-based solutions that enable passengers to complete the security screening process quickly and efficiently is also propelling the market growth.
