Airport Security Market by Offering (Systems (X-Ray Machines, Metal Detectors, Surveillance Systems, Biometric Devices, Others), Services), Application (Access Control, Perimeter Security, Scanning & Screening, Others), and Geography-Forecasts to 2031.

The research report titled 'Airport Security Market by Offering (Systems (X-Ray Machines, Metal Detectors, Surveillance Systems, Biometric Devices, Others), Services), Application (Access Control, Perimeter Security, Scanning & Screening, Others), and Geography-Forecasts to 2031', provides an in-depth analysis of the airport security market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.

The airport security market is projected to reach $25.27 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2024 to 2031.

The growth of this market is driven by stringent government regulations on airport security and the increasing number of air passengers. Moreover, increasing investments in airport security are anticipated to create market growth opportunities. However, challenges related to upgrading existing security systems and the high costs associated with airport security systems restrain the market's growth.

The airport security market is segmented based on offering (systems (X-ray machines, metal detectors, surveillance systems, biometric devices, and other systems), services (support and maintenance services, deployment and integration services, consulting and training services)), application (access control, perimeter security, scanning & screening, surveillance, and other applications). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on offering, the airport security market is broadly segmented into systems and services. In 2024, the systems segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global airport security market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to factors such as the increasing investments in advanced technology at airports and the increasing initiatives aimed at implementing top-tier security measures at airports.

Some of the recent developments in the market space are as follows:

In March 2024, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), a federal police organization in India under the Ministry of Home Affairs, announced its plans to deploy full-body scanners at airports in India to facilitate modernized security systems and passenger convenience.
In January 2024, logistics automation firm Vanderlande (Netherlands) installed its first PAX MX2 security screening system at Frankfurt Airport in Germany.

Moreover, the systems segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing adoption of airport security systems and the growing focus of key players on product development and enhancement are expected to drive the segment's growth. For instance, in November 2024, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (China) launched a series of brand-new smart airport solutions for international markets, including the Fully Connected Fiber Network Solution and Smart Airport Perimeter Security with Fiber Sensing Solution. Similarly, in October 2024, Leidos (U.S.), a science and technology company, launched ProSight, its newest enterprise software platform. This platform provides airports and commercial organizations with high-risk points of entry with a centralized security management system.

Based on application, the airport security market is segmented into access control, perimeter security, scanning and screening, surveillance, and other applications. In 2024, the scanning and screening segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global airport security market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the increased deployment of security systems aimed at preventing prohibited items and other threats from entering airports, heightened investments in airport scanning and screening systems to enhance the passenger experience, and the focus of key players on developing innovative scanning and screening products.

In December 2024, Fort Lauderdale International Airport (U.S.) selected the R&SQPS Walk2000 walk-through scanner to increase security and provide a streamlined walk-through security experience at its employee screening checkpoints.
In October 2024, Denver International Airport (DEN) made an additional investment in Rohde & Schwarz QPS201 body scanners to improve passenger security screening at the Jeppesen terminal's south checkpoint.
In May 2022, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) (Philippines), in partnership with UNICEF (U.S.), installed 61 new thermal scanners for screening passengers at ports and airports.

However, the access control segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Growth of the segment is driven by the rising adoption of access control systems at airports to investigate security incidents or breaches and help improve security protocols. For instance, in December 2021, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) installed more than 100 biometric-enabled self-service touchpoints from air transport industry IT provider SITA.

Based on geography, the airport security market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the airport security market. North America's major market share can be attributed to the increased spending on technology by airports, rising funding by the government to improve airport safety and security, and the growing deployment of airport security systems at the airport.

Some of the recent developments are as follows:

In May 2024, The U.S. Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) installed its first automated biometric screeners at the busy Baltimore Washington International Airport (BMI), raising privacy concerns among advocates and U.S. lawmakers.
In April 2024, The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced its latest investment of up to 1.3 billion USD in computed tomography (CT) scanners for U.S. airports. The announcement consists of three orders for up to 426 base, 359 mid-size, and 429 full-size CT units for deployment across TSA checkpoints.
In May 2022, Miami International Airport (MIA) announced its plans to implement biometric boarding for international flights across all of its 130+ gates in collaboration with SITA (Switzerland).
In February 2022, the Canadian government announced critical infrastructure funding for several airports, which will include security and safety improvements.

However, the market in Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this regional market is driven by rising investments aimed at modernizing airport infrastructure, the growing need to ensure operational efficiency, and the rising deployment of security systems at airports. For instance, in September 2021, South Korea-based Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) signed a contract with Smiths Detection (U.K.) to install its explosives detection system (EDS) HI-SCAN 10080 XCT for hold baggage screening at Incheon International Airport (ICN) Terminal 2. Additionally, in February 2021, Singapore's Changi Airport Group awarded a contract to Genetec (Canada), a technology provider of integrated security, business intelligence, public safety, and operations solutions, to upgrade its security system.
