Airport Baggage Conveyor System Market Report 2025

The airport baggage conveyor system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.13 billion in 2024 to $4.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rise in air passenger traffic, the expansion of airport infrastructure, the increase in international tourism, the growth of low-cost carriers, and government investments in the aviation sector.

The airport baggage conveyor system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The projected growth for the forecast period is driven by the continued expansion of air travel, the growing demand for automation, the rise of smart airports, increasing competition among airlines, and regulatory requirements for more efficient baggage handling. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of AI-powered sorting systems, the integration of radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking, the implementation of sustainable conveyor solutions, technological advancements in baggage handling, and improvements in real-time tracking systems.

The increasing number of air travelers is expected to drive the growth of the airport baggage conveyor system market. Air passenger traffic refers to the number of individuals using air transport for domestic and international travel, which creates a higher demand for efficient baggage handling systems. The rise in air passenger traffic is fueled by increasing disposable income, allowing more people to afford air travel for leisure, business, and personal reasons. Airport baggage conveyor systems ensure smooth, efficient baggage handling, reduce delays, and enhance the passenger experience. As more people travel by air, airports require effective baggage handling solutions to manage the growing volume of luggage, leading to a greater demand for these systems. For example, in September 2024, the Airports Council International (ACI), a Canada-based trade association, reported that global passenger traffic reached 8.7 billion in 2023, reflecting a 30.6% increase compared to 2022. This rise in air passenger traffic is, therefore, expected to drive the growth of the airport baggage conveyor system market.

Key players in the airport baggage conveyor system market are focusing on strategic partnerships to foster technological innovation, expand their market presence, and enhance system efficiency. These partnerships enable companies to incorporate advanced automation, artificial intelligence-based tracking, and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology into baggage handling systems, ensuring seamless operations and reducing mishandling rates. For example, in March 2024, Southwest Airlines, a US-based airline, collaborated with VTC, a US-based baggage handling system innovator, and Leonardo, an Italy-based aerospace company, to revolutionize its baggage handling system at Denver International Airport (DEN). The partnership introduced a cross-belt sorter that offers enhanced accuracy, increased sorting speed, and scalability, replacing labor-intensive manual sorting and tail-to-tail transfer methods, significantly reducing operator workload and inefficiencies.

In May 2023, Beumer Group GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany-based manufacturer of intralogistics systems, acquired The Hendrik Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Beumer to expand its portfolio and offer advanced solutions for handling sensitive materials by integrating The Hendrik Group's innovative conveyor systems. The Hendrik Group Inc., based in the US, specializes in air-supported belt conveyors.

An airport baggage conveyor system is a network of automated conveyors designed to transport passenger luggage efficiently throughout an airport. It moves baggage from check-in counters to sorting areas, through security screening, onto aircraft, and from arriving flights to baggage claim areas. These systems improve operational efficiency, reduce manual handling, and minimize delays, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience for passengers.

The main types of airport baggage conveyor systems include flat belt conveyors, roller conveyors, vertical conveyors, and inclined conveyors. A flat belt conveyor uses a continuous, flat belt to transport materials or goods from one location to another. These systems can be manual, automated, or semi-automated, and they are utilized in airports of all sizes, including small, medium, and large airports, for various applications.
