The automated border control market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the recent past, the automated border control market has experienced substantial growth. The market, which is predicted to be worth $1.66 billion in 2024, is projected to expand to $1.88 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historic period include heightened border safety needs, an increase in global travel and tourism, efficiency improvements and time savings, the incorporation of biometric technologies, and cross-border cooperation for border management.
The automated border control market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the automated border control market is predicted to experience robust expansion in the approaching years, with an estimation to reach "$3.23 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%.
This growth over the forecast period is tied to the increasing global security worries, technological progress in authentication, the rise in air commuting and cross-border movement, emphasis on touch-free and sanitary solutions, and government-led digital transformation programs. Key trends anticipated during this period encompass worldwide standards and interoperability, improved passenger experience, integration of blockchain technology, partnerships with airlines and the travel sector, intelligent infrastructure, and IoT implementation.
The automated border control market's expansion is anticipated to be fueled by the rise in air passenger traffic. Commercial airline travellers for either personal or business ventures constitute air passenger traffic. Automated border control enhances the airport travel experience for air passengers through automated passport control, leading to improved customer satisfaction, amplified efficiency, and enhanced staff productivity. For example, as per the Full Year 2022 U.S. Airline Traffic Data report published by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), a government agency in the U.S, in 2022, U.S. airlines transported an additional 194 million passengers compared to 2021, marking a 30% annual increase. Over the total operational year of 2022, U.S. airlines transported 853 million passengers (unadjusted), a rise from 658 million in 2021. Hence, the surge in air passenger traffic is a key factor propelling the automated border control market's growth.

The embracement of innovative technologies is an emerging trend gaining traction in the automated border control market sector. Prominent corporations in this market are incorporating newer technology to uphold their standing. For example, in February 2023, Nexcom International Co. Ltd., which hails from Taiwan and supplies digital signage appliances, introduced an automated border control solution driven by their proprietary NDiS B561 fanless visual edge computer. This groundbreaking technology is reliable, efficient and champions high-quality visual edge computing, paving the way for security screening applications aided by artificial intelligence (AI) and biometric identification. It collects biometric details from travelers, inclusive of facial snapshots and fingerprints. Such data is subsequently analyzed using artificial intelligence (AI) for the recognition and verification of travelers. This consequently aids in inhibiting unlawful entry and spotting potential hazards. Furthermore, the solution promises to enhance security and effectiveness, deduct expenses at borders, and contribute to making the world a safer place.
