Just like smart cities and smart buildings, the world today is witnessing smart airports. At smart airports, there is efficient management of industrial processes such as the handling of thousands of pieces of luggage coming to airports on a daily basis. Due to rapid technological advancement and innovations, the global smart airport market has grown drastically. The factors that drive the growth of this market include a rise in demand for real-time data.

Real-time data would ease the burden on manpower and airport infrastructure. Other important factors include development in commercial aviation, the establishment of new airports, increase in green initiatives by the airports and modernization of old airports. Constructing a smart airport creates systems and processes that are digitally equipped and arranged, in terms of connectivity and process efficiency.

Market Research Future (MRFR) has published a research report about the global smart airport market that previsions the market expansion with 12% CAGR in this market between 2017 and 2023. This estimation is due to the rise in the usage of digital technologies worldwide, with aircraft companies focusing more towards the digital transformation to enhance the personal experience of the passengers.

This report contains extensive primary research that presents the detailed analysis of qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of this market by various industry experts. It evaluates current market scenario that includes historical and projected market size in terms of macroeconomic and governing factors in the market, technological advancement, and value and volume. This report also profiles the key players in the market.

 global smart airport market has been segmented into airside, application, landslide, technology, terminal type, and lastly region. Segmentation by airside comprises ATM, resource management, aircraft parking, and aircraft maintenance. On the basis of application, this market has been segmented into aeronautical operations and non-aeronautical operations. Aeronautical operations comprise of operations via group or the entirety of applications that used for communication of an aircraft with its airline or service partner pendants on the ground.

 The significant growth of non-aeronautical segment is expected throughout the forecast period. Services via non-aeronautical applications that are expected to drive this growth include advertising, lounge access, restaurants, retail outlets, smart parking, Wi-Fi, and personalized services. Non-aeronautical operations also include boarding and lodging facilities, conference rooms, lounges, and parking facilities.

On the basis of landslide segmentation, the market has been segmented into vehicular parking and security & intelligent advertising. Vehicular parking is about space where visitors to airport and cab drivers park their vehicles. Security & intelligent advertising include airport surveillance activities.

The technology-based segmentation segments the market into air/ground traffic control, cargo & baggage handling control, communication systems, endpoint devices, passenger, security systems, and other technologies. Air/ground traffic control helps pilots to know their direction in the air and their distance with other planes in the sky. Cargo & baggage handling control ensures that all the luggage is kept in the aircraft safely and properly after security check. Communication systems enable contact between the pilot and officers in the control room. Security systems supervise security arrangements at the airport and inside aircraft too. An endpoint device is an Internet-capable computer hardware device on a transmission control protocol (TCP) /internet protocol (IP) network.

By Terminal Type, the market has been segmented into baggage handling, building operations, check-in systems, and sustainable energy management.
