[Research Report] The airport robots market is expected to grow from US$ 512.56 million in 2021 to US$ 2,108.29 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 22.4% from 2021 to 2028.
With the rise in real and perceived threats to the national security, continuous efforts are being taken to come up with innovative active interrogation approaches to identify these threats. The most instant perceived threats and their essential materials comprise conventional explosives, weapons, chemical agents, and contraband. With an intent to prevent uncertain events, authorities worldwide are actively focusing on the deployment of advanced systems, including robots, to strengthen security at airports. The robots used for security application at airports are integrated with features such as facial recognition systems, sensors, and cameras to measure pulse rate remotely, which allows them to detect suspicious persons, currencies, weapons and explosives, abandoned objects, and other illicit material without disturbing the operations or flow of passengers at airports. Furthermore, the governments of various countries are investing in the development of their transport infrastructure, including building of new airports. For instance, the Chinese government plans to construct additional 215 airports by 2035. Furthermore, the Indian government plans to build 100 new airports across the country by 2024.

As a result, many of them are looking forward to partnering with robot suppliers that can offer the best in class advanced robots for applications such as security, luggage handling, passenger guidance, and cleaning. Moreover, airports are facing issues in terms of significantly rising labor costs as well as the shortage of qualified, experienced, and reliable employees. Thus, the burgeoning complexity of airport operations is resulting in overburdening of existing personnel, compelling them to make tradeoffs between the quantity and quality of their work, which might hamper their reputation. To address this issue, airports are switching toward more advanced and autonomous robots that not only reduce the burden on personnel, but also work more efficiently than humans, without facing the issues such as excessive workload and fatigue.
Developing countries have become a hub of opportunities for various markets, including airport robots market. Government authorities in these countries are planning and investing huge amount in the advancement of technologies to improve the overall infrastructure. Transportation and logistics activities are huge contributors to the development of any country, and therefore, developing countries are extensively focusing on enhancing and improving their transportation and logistics infrastructure, including air, road, and sea transport. Airways is an important mode of transportation; hence, governments of developing countries have planned development and revamping of various mid-size and large airports. For instance, in India, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata has laid down expansion plan of the airport. Similarly, Vietnam is planning to build one of the largest airports near its economic hub Ho Chi Minh City. Other developing countries including the Philippines and Kuwait are also expanding and revamping airports. As a part of expansion and revamping strategy, these airports would also be passing tenders on acquiring technologically advanced equipment including robots for ensuring convenience and providing superior experience to passengers. Hence, the airport robot market players have huge opportunities to offer best-in-class, and highly reliable and cost-efficient robots for such new airport projects.
The terminal segment led the airport robots market with a share of 74.8% in 2020. It is further expected to account for 77.0% of the total market by 2028.
The airport robots market is led by terminal segment with highest share and is expected to dominate in the forecast period. An airport terminal is a building at an airport where passenger arrive upon landing and depart on a flight. Typically, terminals have several gates divided into sections known as concourses that are filled with shopping, dining, restroom, lounge, and other facilities. Passengers at terminals can purchase tickets, check in for the scheduled flight, check or collect luggage, pass through security or customs, find connecting flights, and others.
ABB Ltd; Cyberdyne Inc.; LG Electronics Inc.; SoftBank Corp.; and Stanley Robotics SAS are among the key companies with significant market share.
The overall cost of procuring and maintaining advanced robots is quite high, which limits their adoption at airport, especially in cost-sensitive countries. These robots require frequent maintenance and servicing, which adds to the overall operating cost of running an airport. Airport deploy a large number of such advanced systems for various operations, based on the size and the requirement of the airport, and with the multiple deployments, the overall procurement and maintenance cost increases further. Small airports, operating in developed and developing countries, therefore, resist deploying such high-end robots and rely on conventional practices. Considering this restraint, airport robot manufacturers need to focus on offering a range of robots, starting from low end to high end, without compromising on the incorporation of the necessary and vital features in the low- and mid-range robots. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways of operations of various sectors, including the transportation sector and airport industry. Airport authorities are willing to deploy autonomous robots to, ultimately, meet the social distancing norms imposed by the respective governments; however, the initial costs and maintenance costs are limiting their investments in robotic solutions.
