The airport and marine port security market is experiencing growth due to increasing internal and external threats that pose risks to these critical transportation hubs. Internal and external threats encompass attacks originating from within and outside organizations. Security measures in airports and marine ports are essential to safeguard against these threats, ensuring safety within these environments. For instance, the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) reported nearly 6,463 new cargo threats or attacks across 56 countries in Europe and the Middle East in 2020. This rise in threats is anticipated to drive demand for robust airport and marine port security systems during the forecast period.

The escalation of geopolitical tensions is expected to further propel the growth of the airport and marine port security market. Geopolitical tensions often involve conflicts or disputes among nations or regions, leading to increased security threats and safety concerns. Such tensions necessitate heightened security measures at critical transportation hubs, prompting governments to allocate budgets, enforce stricter regulations, and invest in advanced security technologies. For instance, data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) highlighted a significant increase in reported events of political violence targeting civilians, rising from 33,331 events in 2020 to 37,185 events in 2021. Likewise, civilian fatalities also increased from 35,879 in 2020 to 38,658 in 2021. Consequently, the surge in geopolitical tensions is a driving force behind the expansion of the airport and marine port security market.

Technological advancements represent a prominent trend within the airport and marine port security market. Key companies in this sector are focused on developing innovative technological solutions to bolster their market position and enhance security measures. For instance, in March 2022, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in the US launched new facial recognition technology at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to verify visitors' identities at select security checkpoints. Equipped with next-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT), the system captures a visitor's photo using a camera, compares it with the photo ID, and verifies their identity based on facial features. This technology aims to enhance safety measures while streamlining the visitor experience within the airport environment.

Major companies in the airport and marine port security market are integrating Vessel Traffic Management Information Systems (VTMIS) to fortify their positions within the industry. VTMIS is a comprehensive technology solution utilized in maritime operations to monitor and manage vessel traffic within specific maritime areas, including ports and waterways. For instance, in April 2023, AD Ports Group, a UAE-based trade and logistics company, introduced VTMIS across its operations in the UAE. This system integrates various tools such as radar, CCTV, radios, and meteorological systems to provide real-time information, enhancing communication between vessels and shore. VTMIS supports critical functions like traffic management, collision avoidance, search and rescue operations, and environmental protection measures, ensuring efficient and secure maritime operations.

In another significant development from February 2021, DG Risk Group, an England-based risk and security management company, acquired Protection Vessels International (PVI) for an undisclosed sum.
