The global airport moving walkway system market reached a value of D 2.49 Billion in 2024 . The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.80% in the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a value of approximately USD 3.98 Billion by 2034 .
Increasing Demand for Pallet Type Walkway Systems to Augment the Market for Airport Moving Walkway Systems
Based on type, the pallet type segment accounts for a significant share in the airport moving walkway system industry. This can be attributed to the high durability and robustness of the product, which is leading to its increased deployment at airports. Pallet style travelators are essentially flat elevators that consist of a series of metal plates connected to each other to create a continuous walkway that allows passengers to walk or stand easily.
The Asia Pacific to Provide Enhanced Growth Opportunities to the Airport Moving Walkway System Industry
Region-wise, the Asia Pacific is expected to witness a robust growth over the forecast period due to an increased emphasis on building new airports and airport development projects across the region. This can be associated with the growing government expenditure in the expansion of the country’s infrastructure. Furthermore, the rising air passenger traffic in major countries of the region such as China, India, and Japan is also expected to support the market growth in the forecast years.
Over the forecast period, the shorter travel time offered by airport moving walkway systems is expected to bolster their demand across the airport facilities. Moreover, since accelerating airport moving walkways (AMW) are easier to operate than constant moving walkways, they have gained a lot of traction, which is also predicted to support the market growth in the coming years.

Airport Moving Walkway System: Market Segmentation
A moving walkway is a slow-moving conveyor mechanism that moves people across a horizontal or inclined plane over a short to medium distance. It is also known as an autowalk, moving pavement, moving sidewalk, people-mover, or travelator. These walkways are installed in areas that receive a high foot traffic such as airports, railway stations, and metros, among others. These are usually installed in pairs to assist the to and fro movement.Market Breakup by Business Type

Rising Air Passenger Traffic to Bolster the Growth of the Airport Moving Walkway System Industry
The growth of the airport moving walkway system industry is estimated to be fuelled by the surging air passenger traffic as a result of the expanding travel and tourism industry, as well as the rising globalisation. It is estimated that by 2037, global air passenger traffic would hit an 8.2 billion mark, almost double of what it was in 2017. Another important factor adding to the market growth is the rising focus of the governments in airport development and expansion projects in major countries worldwide. By 2023, global airport investments are expected to exceed USD 45 billion, with new airport construction and terminal expansion projects.Over the forecast period, the shorter travel time offered by airport moving walkway systems is expected to bolster their demand across the airport facilities. Moreover, since accelerating airport moving walkways (AMW) are easier to operate than constant moving walkways, they have gained a lot of traction, which is also predicted to support the market growth in the coming years.
