The anticipated rise in IT spending at airports is poised to drive the growth of the airport kiosks market in the future. IT spending encompasses the financial allocation for an organization's information technology systems and services, covering expenses such as IT staff salaries and the establishment and maintenance of company-wide systems and services. Airport kiosks, which heavily rely on information technology, are experiencing increased adoption due to the surge in IT spending. As reported by Aviation Week Network in March 2023, a UK-based production company, 93% of airports are expecting higher IT budgets in 2023 compared to 2022. This trend indicates a sustained year-over-year growth in airport IT spending from 2020, reflecting a commitment to digitalization. Consequently, the escalating IT spending at airports is a key driver behind the anticipated growth of the airport kiosk market.

Major players in the airport kiosks market are channeling their efforts into developing innovative products, such as self-serve currency and automated kiosks, to gain a competitive edge.
