Airport Kiosk System Market Report 2026

The airport kiosk system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.26 billion in 2025 to $2.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing airport passenger volumes driving adoption of self-service check-in kiosks, rising airline focus on reducing queue times and operational bottlenecks, advancements in touchscreen, payment terminal, and barcode scanner technologies enhancing kiosk functionality, expansion of airport modernization programs incorporating kiosk-based services, growth in manufacturer-provided installation, integration, and warranty-period support services.

The airport kiosk system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.25 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for next-generation kiosks offering biometric authentication and contactless processing, increasing integration of kiosks with real-time flight information, wayfinding, and parking systems, rising adoption of cloud-based kiosk management platforms for improved scalability and reliability, expanding deployment of multi-functional kiosks supporting baggage drop and ancillary service purchases, expected growth in comprehensive lifecycle service offerings including software updates, system upgrades, and remote monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for touchless self-service airport check-in solutions, rising deployment of multi-function kiosks integrating check-in, bag-drop, and retail, growing focus on kiosk-driven queue management optimization, expansion of kiosk-based airport navigation and flight information systems, increasing adoption of rugged, high-durability kiosk hardware for high-traffic terminals.

The rising passenger volume is anticipated to drive the expansion of the airport kiosk system market going forward. Passenger volume refers to the total number of individuals traveling through an airport over a specific period, typically measured in days, months, or years. This growth in passenger numbers can be attributed to several factors, including economic development, population increases, enhanced transportation infrastructure, and evolving travel preferences. Airport kiosk systems support high passenger throughput by simplifying check-in procedures, minimizing waiting times, and improving the overall travel experience. These systems enable travelers to independently manage their journey, contributing to more efficient airport operations and higher customer satisfaction. For example, in December 2024, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, a total of 973 million passengers traveled by air within the EU in 2023, representing a 19.3% increase from 2022 (816 million). The data shows that every EU country recorded an increase in air passenger traffic compared with the previous year. Therefore, the growing passenger volume is boosting the airport kiosk system market.

Major companies operating in the airport kiosk system market are emphasizing the development of technological innovations such as self check-in and bag drop solutions to streamline passenger processing, cut down wait times, and enhance overall airport operational efficiency. A self check-in and bag drop solution refers to an automated airport system that enables passengers to check in for flights and drop off their luggage without requiring assistance from airline staff, utilizing kiosks or self-service machines to improve speed, accuracy, and convenience. For instance, in April 2025, Collins Aerospace, a US-based aerospace and defense company, introduced SelfServ at the Passenger Terminal Expo (PTE) 2025 in Madrid. The solution merges both self check-in and bag drop functions into a single kiosk system designed to empower passengers to control their travel process. It incorporates Collins’ Common Use Self Service (CUSS) software, allowing multiple airlines to share the same kiosk infrastructure, thereby reducing costs and optimizing airport space utilization.

In December 2023, REDYREF Interactive Kiosks, a U.S.-based manufacturer of self-service kiosk technology, acquired Livewire Digital, a software company also based in the U.S., for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is set to enhance REDYREF’s capabilities and deliver a comprehensive range of kiosk solutions, including secure financial transactions and innovative customer service experiences. Livewire Digital specializes in providing airport kiosk systems for customs duty tax payments and landing fee transactions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the airport kiosk system market by increasing costs for imported components such as touchscreens, payment modules, scanners, and biometric hardware, resulting in higher pricing for kiosk manufacturing and deployment. These impacts are more pronounced in kiosk-heavy regions such as Asia-Pacific and Europe, where airports rely on global hardware supply chains. Segments such as check-in kiosks, biometric passport kiosks, and retail kiosks face the greatest cost pressures. However, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing, regional hardware sourcing, and investment in domestic supply chains, creating new opportunities for market players.
