Furthermore, the use of technologies such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) and destination-coded vehicle system (DCV) is assisting the market's expansion. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and SITA (a baggage handling system manufacturer), global RFID implementation could save the airline industry around $2.8 billion over the next seven years.
The global baggage handling systems market is segmented based on mode of transport, tracking technology, check-in service type, and solution. Based on mode of transport, the market is sub-segmented into airport, railway, and marine. Based on tracking technology, the market is divided into barcode system and RFID system. Based on check-in service type, the market is augmented into self check-in and assisted check-in. Further, based on solution, the market is sub-segmented into check-in, screening, & loading, conveying & sorting, unloading & reclaim. Among the tracking technology, the RFID system sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market owing to the growing incidence of thefts, which has pushed the deployment of RFID systems at various places including malls, shopping stores, airports, and others.
Airport Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Prominent Share of the Global Baggage Handling System
Among the mode of transport segment, the airport sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the market. The rising adoption of various strategies such as acquisition by several key market players such as ADELTE Group SL, Air T Inc, Havas, and others to stay competitive in the market is the major factor driving the growth of this market segment.
