In March 2000, a study by the IBM Center for the Business of Government highlighted the need for new strategies and technologies to enhance airports’ economic growth. At the time, the global airline industry was carrying 2.3 billion passengers annually. Fast forward to 2024, and a survey by Amadeus reveals that 56% of airport leaders are investing in technology to improve customer experience, with 52% focusing on operational efficiency. Airport technology investment is growing faster than any other sector, with 94% of airports planning investments in the next year.
The global airport technology market is projected to reach $13.99 billion by 2025, with the digitization market alone expected to hit $27.44 billion by 2030. The introduction of biometrics at key touch points, such as check-in and boarding, is a major focus, with 92% of airports already offering or planning to offer these systems. Sustainability also plays a significant role, with 76% of airports prioritizing it in their tech investments, including energy-efficient cloud computing and data analytics to optimize resources.
The Airport Show, held annually in Dubai, is set to showcase the latest in airport technology and innovations. It will feature over 160 exhibitors and provide networking opportunities for industry leaders. With airport development projects totaling $1.3 trillion in the Middle East, the event will highlight advancements in automation, passenger experience, and sustainability.
Experts predict that by 2050, airports will rely heavily on autonomous systems, including AI, biometrics, and IoT, to streamline operations and enhance passenger experiences. As the industry embraces digital transformation, airports are investing in technologies that promise a more efficient, sustainable, and customer-centric future.
