What Is The Driver Of The Crowd Analytics Market?

The rising number of airline and train passengers is expected to propel the growth of the crowd analytics market. Airline passengers are individuals who travel by air and are counted when they board or disembark from an aircraft at an airport, and train passengers are individuals who travel by train and are counted when they embark or disembark from a train at a station. The rising number of airline and train passengers can be attributed to the recovery from pandemic-related travel restrictions, leading to increased travel demand and improved service availability. Additionally, enhanced transportation options and fewer disruptions, such as strikes, have contributed to higher passenger numbers across both modes. Crowd analytics is being used in the airline and train industries to optimize passenger flow management, enhance safety, and improve operational efficiency by analyzing real-time data on crowd density and movement. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Office of Road and Rail (ORR), a UK-based government department, rail passenger journeys in Great Britain increased by 20% to 417 million between October and December 2023, compared to 348 million in the same quarter of 2022. Over the entire year from January 2022 to December 2023, the total number of journeys reached 1.57 billion. Therefore, the rising number of airline and train passengers is driving the growth of the crowd analytics industry.
