The luggage handling system (BHS) operates similarly to a conveyor belt, making it easier to move checked baggage between ticket offices and aircraft loading gates. This crucial system does volume control, load distribution, bag monitoring, and thorough baggage security screening. Barcode scanners, radio frequency sensors, tilt tray sorters, Automatic Jam Readers (AJR), Automatic Tag Readers (ATR), and vertical sortation units are just a few of the cutting-edge gadgets in the BHS. All of these state-of-the-art elements contribute to transparent and effective baggage handling for travellers while reducing the workload of ground staff. The need of having a strong and advanced BHS cannot be emphasised, especially as airports handle an increasing number of passengers. In addition to preventing delays and bottlenecks, a well-thought-out and effectively implemented system is essential for overall airport security.
Global Airport Baggage Handling System Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The rise in air travel is the main factor driving the global industry. In keeping with this, the market is being greatly impacted by the growing expectations of passengers. Stricter security protocols also call for sophisticated luggage screening devices, which fuels the need for newer systems. The increasing demand for effective baggage handling to accommodate the surge in travellers is fueled by the expansion of global tourism. Airports are experiencing an automation trend as well, with automated baggage handling quickly becoming standard. Additionally, the cutting-edge technology lowers the rates of mishandled baggage, improving customer happiness and lowering operational disruptions, which stimulates the market. Travellers' desire for real-time luggage tracking is driving up the cost of tracking technology for baggage handling systems.
Airport cyberattacks are becoming a genuine threat due to the attraction of new vulnerabilities and potential exploits brought forth by interconnected technology. A number of cyberattacks targeting the aviation sector have happened in recent years. Airports have been using more and more modern technology throughout the years, including data links for voice communication, smart boarding gates, electronic tags for baggage handling, remote check-in, and self-service apps. The possibility of cyberattacks at airports has increased as a result. These elements are probably going to impede market expansion.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Airport Baggage Handling System Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major detrimental effect on the aviation industry, resulting in a considerable loss in passenger operating revenues due to a reduction in seats at all international and regional airports. Furthermore, revenue from the European and Chinese markets is expected to underperform, while handling equipment players' sales are expected to rise over the course of the projected period as a result of infrastructural improvements. As a result, it is projected that regular economic growth which was considerably impacted by the COVID crisis may change in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
