An automated security e-gate is a sophisticated security checkpoint featuring automated systems designed to bolster border control and airport security measures, while also optimizing identity verification processes and expediting passenger processing. These systems leverage electronic authentication techniques, such as biometrics or RFID (radio-frequency identification), to accurately verify individuals' identities and facilitate controlled access through checkpoints.
The primary types of automated security e-gates are hardware and software. Hardware encompasses the tangible components of a computer system or electronic device, comprising machinery, circuits, and peripherals. These hardware-based systems find application in various sectors including critical infrastructure and border control, and are utilized by a diverse range of end-users such as airlines, airports, governmental agencies, air navigation service providers, and others.

The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased security concerns, rising demand for seamless travel experience, government initiatives for border control, globalization and trade growth, pressure to enhance operational efficiency.
The automated security e-gate market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing international travel, increasing adoption of biometric technology, rising demand for advanced border security solutions, expanding investments in airport infrastructure, stringent regulatory requirements for identity verification and border control. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for enhanced security, expansion of contactless biometric solutions, enhanced passenger experience through personalization, adoption of cloud-based solutions for scalability and flexibility, emphasis on sustainability and green initiatives.
The automated security e-gate market is poised for growth, driven by the rapid expansion of air travel globally. Air travel, characterized by the transportation of passengers via aircraft, is experiencing significant growth fueled by factors such as cost-effective flight options, the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels, and advancements in aviation technology. Automated security e-gates play a pivotal role in enhancing air travel efficiency by streamlining passenger screening processes and fortifying security measures through advanced technology integration. As reported by the International Civil Aviation Organization in February 2023, air passenger numbers surged by approximately 47% in 2022 compared to the previous year, accompanied by a 70% increase in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs). This substantial growth in air travel underscores the driving force behind the expansion of the automated security e-gate market.
Key players in the automated security e-gate market are focusing on the development of cutting-edge technological solutions, such as multimodal biometric pods, to stay competitive. Multimodal biometric pods are compact systems that integrate multiple biometric authentication methods within a single unit, enhancing border control operations and traveler identity verification. Thales Group introduced the Multimodal Biometric Pod in December 2022, featuring iris and face recognition capabilities for enrolling and verifying travelers' identities. This solution, designed to improve efficiency and reduce processing time, can be deployed as a standalone unit or integrated into self-service solutions. Equipped with a camera and high-resolution LCD screen, the biometric pod utilizes artificial intelligence to capture dual iris and face recognition in just two seconds, facilitating expedited operations and minimizing wait times.
In February 2024, Amadeus IT Group SA bolstered its biometrics portfolio through the acquisition of Vision-Box, underscoring the market's potential for growth and innovation. This strategic acquisition enhances Amadeus's ability to integrate biometric solutions into its travel distribution system, offering enhanced security and convenience for travelers. Vision-Box, a Portugal-based authentication solutions company, specializes in automated security e-gate technology for airports and border control, aligning with Amadeus's vision for advancing biometric authentication in the travel industry.
