Global Airport Security Market size was valued at USD 14.5 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 23.6 Billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2024 – 2033.

Airport Security Market: Overview

Airport security refers to the measures and procedures implemented to protect passengers, staff, and aircraft from threats such as terrorism, smuggling, and other unlawful activities.

A prominent global trend in airport security is the adoption of advanced technology to enhance screening efficiency and effectiveness while ensuring passenger convenience. This includes the widespread deployment of automated screening lanes, advanced imaging technologies such as millimeter-wave scanners and computed tomography (CT) scanners, and biometric identification systems for streamlined passenger processing.

Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on data analytics and artificial intelligence for threat detection and risk assessment, enabling security personnel to identify potential risks more accurately and respond proactively.

Furthermore, collaboration and information-sharing among airports, airlines, and security agencies on a global scale are becoming increasingly important to address evolving security threats and maintain consistency in security standards across different regions.

Overall, the global trend in airport security is moving towards a more technology-driven, data-driven, and collaborative approach to ensure the safety and security of passengers and personnel while facilitating seamless travel experiences.

By equipment, the metal detector segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033. A key trend in metal detectors is the integration of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to enhance detection accuracy, reduce false alarms, and streamline security screening processes in various sectors including transportation, manufacturing, and event security.

By technology, the RFID segment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period 2024-2033.
