Commercial Airport Baggage Handling Systems Market Trends

• Increased investment in airport infrastructure development propels market growth

Market CAGR for commercial airport baggage handling systems is being driven by increase in airport infrastructure development investments to accommodate rising passenger traffic. Market expansion is expected to be aided by rising disposable income and a growing population. Furthermore, investors are installing more sophisticated baggage handling systems to improve operational effectiveness, which is likely to encourage market revenue growth.

However, high maintenance costs and baggage mishandling at airports are impeding revenue growth. Misplaced baggage increased by 24% as airports and airlines struggled to keep up with passenger demand. Social media users have shared photos of unclaimed bags, and angry anecdotes have accumulated. One traveller used an Apple Air Tag to track her misplaced bag from Toronto to St. John Airport for five days. Someone saw his rucksack leave for England, Germany, and Iceland without him. As an increasing number of travellers return to flying, the industry is closely examining the future of luggage management.
