Technavio Announces Top Four Emerging Trends Impacting the Global Airport E-gates Market Through 2020Technavio's latest report on the global airport e-gates market provides an analysis on the most important trends expected to impact the market outlook from 2016-2020. Technavio defines an emerging trend as a factor that has the potential to significantly impact the market and contribute to its growth or decline. Amrita Choudhury, a lead analyst from Technavio, specializing in research on enterprise application sector, says, "The global airport e-gates market deployment is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 20% during the forecast period. There is an increase in growth rate in revenue of the global airport e-gates market because of the high adoption of e-gates at various airports worldwide. The major reason for the high adoption of airport e-gates is the growing number of violent activities, such as the 9/11 attacks and the disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines plane in 2014. The installation of e-gates at airports will increase the responsibility of the security personnel to analyze the behavior of suspected passengers and concentrate on passenger profiling, which can help prevent attacks. E-gates also prevent passengers from the hassle of congestion at immigration counters." The top four emerging trends driving the global airport e-gates market according to Technavio ICT research analysts are:
Emergence of multimodal biometrics Multimodal biometrics include the combination of two or more biometric technologies for verification. Multimodal biometric provides more accuracy because it identifies an individual through the use of two or more biometric technologies for authentication. These biometric systems are accurate, reliable, and secure, which is why they are widely adopted for applications such as border control. Some multimodal biometrics are available with both fingerprint and finger vein recognition technology in a single device, which saves the cost of buying two biometric devices. Fingerprint and facial recognition are the main biometric technologies used in APAC. While fingerprint recognition is preferred in the US, the Middle East prefers iris recognition. The airports planning the installation of e-gates should consider the geographic diversity of citizens and the e-gates may need to be multimodal to provide the necessary flexibility and support a range of biometric options. Increased investments by homeland security sector Governments worldwide are putting in place strict security measures considering the increasing occurrences of criminal activities involving airports and aircrafts. 9/11 damaged the public infrastructure and killed thousands of people. Such attacks can be avoided by installing more effective security and screening systems. Airport e-gates can contribute in enhancing such security measures. Thus, to avoid such instances, the airport authorities are investing highly in the deployment of e-gates at airports. Accuracy of on-time airline arrivals and departures The on-time arrival and departure of aircraft is dependent on the time taken by passengers to undergo security checks before boarding. With the help of airport e-gates the security check process can be eased, which will help in reducing the boarding time for passengers. The rising passenger traffic creates airport congestion, which in turn leads to flight delays which result in huge losses for airlines as well as passengers. "Thus, the need to maintain punctuality in arrival and departure timings of aircrafts is leading to the high adoption of airport e-gates, which will support the growth of the global airport e-gates market during the forecast period," says Amrita. Adoption of contactless biometrics in airport e-gates Physical contact is necessary for fingerprint biometrics, which require an individual to place a finger on the sensor. However, increasing concerns related to hygiene leave people reluctant to adopt contact biometric solutions in public places such as airports. Therefore, biometric technology vendors and biometric scanner manufacturers are focusing on the development of contactless fingerprint scanners. Also, this awareness is creating a growth opportunity for contactless biometrics such as the technologically advanced iris cameras. The demand for contactless biometrics is likely to be a key trend in the airport e-gates market during the forecast period. Browse Related Reports:
