The automated security e-gate market is poised for growth, driven by the rapid expansion of air travel globally. Air travel, characterized by the transportation of passengers via aircraft, is experiencing significant growth fueled by factors such as cost-effective flight options, the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels, and advancements in aviation technology. Automated security e-gates play a pivotal role in enhancing air travel efficiency by streamlining passenger screening processes and fortifying security measures through advanced technology integration. As reported by the International Civil Aviation Organization in February 2023, air passenger numbers surged by approximately 47% in 2022 compared to the previous year, accompanied by a 70% increase in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs). This substantial growth in air travel underscores the driving force behind the expansion of the automated security e-gate market.

Key players in the automated security e-gate market are focusing on the development of cutting-edge technological solutions, such as multimodal biometric pods, to stay competitive. Multimodal biometric pods are compact systems that integrate multiple biometric authentication methods within a single unit, enhancing border control operations and traveler identity verification. Thales Group introduced the Multimodal Biometric Pod in December 2022, featuring iris and face recognition capabilities for enrolling and verifying travelers' identities. This solution, designed to improve efficiency and reduce processing time, can be deployed as a standalone unit or integrated into self-service solutions. Equipped with a camera and high-resolution LCD screen, the biometric pod utilizes artificial intelligence to capture dual iris and face recognition in just two seconds, facilitating expedited operations and minimizing wait times.

In February 2024, Amadeus IT Group SA bolstered its biometrics portfolio through the acquisition of Vision-Box, underscoring the market's potential for growth and innovation. This strategic acquisition enhances Amadeus's ability to integrate biometric solutions into its travel distribution system, offering enhanced security and convenience for travelers. Vision-Box, a Portugal-based authentication solutions company, specializes in automated security e-gate technology for airports and border control, aligning with Amadeus's vision for advancing biometric authentication in the travel industry.
