Market Synopsis

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology to Continue Leading the Market during the Forecast Period

Based on technology, the global market for smart baggage handling systems is categorized into bar code and radio frequency identification (RFID). The radio frequency identification (RFID) segment was the largest value contributor, with over 50% of the revenue share in 2018.

RFID has the largest share owing to its benefits, such as 99.99% accuracy, cost-effective automated compliance, and low operational cost, among others. RFID technology provides end-to-end baggage tracking from the drop-off point to the pick-up point. As a consequence, we presumed that RFID technology would continue to lead the smart baggage handling system market during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific will be the fastest growing region throughout the forecast period.

North America was the largest market for smart baggage handling systems in 2018, accounting for more than 1/3 of the market share. The dominance is due to the ongoing modernization of airport infrastructure and the construction of new airports.

Asia Pacific will be the fastest-growing segment owing to rising passenger and cargo traffic and rising government investments in infrastructural development. With perpetual growth in air passenger and cargo traffic in China and India, the need for smart baggage handling systems has increased in these countries.

Major manufacturers are focusing on strategies such as mergers and acquisitions to increase market share and provide better services. For instance, in August 2019, Daifuku Co., Ltd. acquired Scarabee Aviation Group B.V. and Intersystems (Asia Pacific) Pty Limited. With the acquisition of both companies, Daifuku Co. Ltd. will cater to markets pertaining to information management and airport security checkpoints.

Some of the prominent players operating in the smart baggage handling systems market include Siemens AG, Vanderlande Industries, Daifuku Co. Ltd., Pteris Global Limited, BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. K.G., SITA, G&S Airport Conveyor, and Alstef Automation S.A., among others.
