The global airport baggage handling system market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.24 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the adoption of predictive maintenance practices, a focus on sustainability and green initiatives, the implementation of risk mitigation strategies, requirements for cost-efficiency, efforts to enhance passenger experience, and the continuous growth in tourism. Key trends expected in the forecast period include an increased emphasis on passenger convenience, customization tailored to airport needs, the integration of remote monitoring and management solutions, the incorporation of smart sensor technology, and the widespread adoption of predictive analytics for efficient airport operations.

A surge in air traffic is anticipated to drive the expansion of the airport baggage handling system market. Air traffic encompasses the movement of aircraft at airports, and this upsurge is primarily attributed to factors like economic and demographic growth, increased income levels, and the necessity for swifter transportation of goods. As air traffic escalates, the demand for airport baggage handling systems is set to climb to accommodate bustling airport operations and streamline aircraft and airport lead times. Notably, in May 2022, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) released passenger data indicating an 83.1% increase in total air traffic compared to May 2021, largely driven by the robust resurgence in international travel. Global air traffic has reached 68.7% of pre-pandemic levels, with international traffic soaring by 325.8% since May 2021. Hence, the surge in air traffic is poised to be a driving force behind the airport baggage handling systems market's growth.

The burgeoning tourism industry is expected to be a significant catalyst propelling the expansion of the airport baggage handling system market. Tourism, an economic, social, and cultural phenomenon involving travel beyond habitual environments for various reasons, greatly depends on efficient airport baggage handling systems. These systems ensure the smooth, secure processing of passengers' belongings, elevating the overall travel experience and streamlining airport operations. As evidence, the U.S. Department of Commerce reported a rise in international visitors to the United States, reaching 22.1 million in 2021 from 19.2 million in 2020, underscoring the pivotal role of the tourism sector in fueling growth in the airport baggage handling system market.

The integration of advanced technologies is a prominent trend shaping the airport baggage handling system market. Key market players and airports are actively incorporating cutting-edge solutions like near-field communication (NFC) and radio frequency identification (RFID) into baggage handling systems to enable automated check-in and luggage services. Notably, Delhi Airport introduced BAGG TRAX, leveraging RFID-enabled tagging technology in June 2022. This innovation allows real-time tracking of passenger baggage throughout the transfer process. Upon registration, these tags are placed on check-in luggage, providing travelers with updates on their mobile devices regarding their baggage's arrival and collection at the designated belt. This innovative system is expected to significantly reduce the occurrences of lost or delayed baggage, which currently incur substantial annual costs for airlines.

Prominent companies in the airport baggage handling system market are intensifying their efforts to introduce more advanced baggage handling solutions, notably focusing on state-of-the-art belt conveyor systems. These advanced belt conveyor systems constitute contemporary material handling mechanisms utilizing fabric or rubber belts to transfer items from one point to another, providing adaptability and reducing potential damage during baggage handling. For instance, in June 2021, Siemens Logistics Gmbh, a German logistics company, unveiled the VarioBelt TilterPlus, a pioneering belt conveyor system equipped with a unique tilting mechanism designed for efficient baggage transportation. This modular framework is customizable to fit various spatial layouts, enabling baggage movement at an angle, thus minimizing potential damage and enhancing handling efficiency. The system's adaptable design ensures seamless integration into existing baggage handling setups, allowing installation without disrupting ongoing operations.

In August 2022, Belt Power LLC, a United States-based wholesaler and distributor specializing in conveyor belts and their components, completed the acquisition of Engineered Components, Inc.'s assets for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is set to expedite Belt Power's organic growth strategy within a rapidly evolving industry, bolstering its national expertise in the material handling sector. Engineered Components, Inc. is a US-based provider known for its expertise in postal and mail handling systems, large-scale package handling facilities, and comprehensive solutions dedicated to baggage handling systems.
