The rising demand for contactless payments is also boosting the growth of airport IT systems market in North America. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the adoption of contactless payments, and passengers are now increasingly demanding this option at airports. For instance, Los Angeles International Airport has partnered with Mastercard to offer a contactless payments solution for self-service kiosks. This solution allows passengers to pay for parking and other services using their contactless Mastercard debit or credit card. This is driving the demand for airport IT systems that support contactless payments. It includes self-services kiosks and mobile payment solutions. Moreover, new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), are being increasingly adopted in the airport industry. This growing adoption of new technologies in the airport industry is increasing the demand for airport IT systems that can support these technologies, such as AI powered chatbots and ML-based predictive maintenance systems. For example, Toronto Pearson International Airport is using artificial intelligence-powered technology. In partnership with tech firm Assaia, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) has announced a rollout of a new AI system across all 106 gates at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Its main use is to revolutionize performance and customer experience at Canada’s largest airport.

Moreover, numerous airports in the Asia Pacific region are undergoing expansion and modernization to meet the growing demand for air travel. This includes the construction of new terminals, runways, and airport infrastructure. Likewise, airports in the Asia Pacific region are placing a strong prominence on providing an enhanced passenger experience. This includes optimizing the entire passenger journey, from check-in to boarding and beyond. As an example, Incheon International Airport in South Korea introduced cutting-edge passenger processing software that enables passengers to complete check-in, security procedures, and immigration using self-service kiosks and biometric identification, significantly reducing waiting times. The focus on enhancing the passenger experience has led to the adoption of technologies like FIDS and Passenger Processing Software. These solutions keep passengers informed in real-time and streamline processes, ensuring that passengers have pleasant and stress-free airport experience.

Additionally, Likewise, in 2023, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport announced the launch of a new mobile app that allows passengers to use their smartphones to check in for flights, drop off bags, and board aircraft. This app is designed to make the travel experience more seamless and convenient for passengers. Likewise, Governments of numerous countries across Europe are promoting digitalization in the airport industry. For instance, recently German government announced that it would be investing US$ 1.1 billion in the digitalization of the airport industry. This investment will be used to develop new technologies for self-service, baggage handling, and security. Likewise, the European Commission launched a new initiative called the “Digital Airport for Europe”. This initiative aims to promote the use of digital technologies in the airport industry. The initiative will provide funding for research & development projects, as well as pilot projects to test new technologies in real-world settings. This is also fueling the trend to improve efficiency and productivity in the economy.
