Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The development of smart airport concepts is notably driving market growth. With the increasing popularity of agile airport infrastructure, coupled with the growing investments in technological advancements, the concept of the smart airport has been jointly proposed by the IATA and ACI. Under the smart airport approach, all systems are integrated into one single digital grid, which allows the sharing of real-time information and deep cross-silo collaboration. This eventually results in enhanced operational efficiencies and a superior passenger experience, as well as an uninterrupted delivery of a comprehensive array of personalized services to the passengers.
Smart airport terminals are developed around a single, converged IP platform that enables high-speed broadband traffic across the aerodrome. By allowing real-time data exchange and airport-wide integration, smart airports significantly improve their operational efficiencies, passenger services, and security capabilities. Increased demand for air travel has made the regulatory authorities, including ICAO, IATA, Federal Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency, Civil Aviation Safety Authority, and the EU, encourage the development of smart airports. Such an approach will minimize the risks and limit the inconvenience to passengers, thereby enabling safer flight and airport operations. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the SBH solutions market during the forecast period.
The emergence of robotic baggage handling is a major trend in the market. Airports, marine lines, and railways are gradually adopting significantly sophisticated technologies and implementing them across the entire baggage-handling ecosystem. With the continuous advancements in robotics and digital communications, airports are emerging with new technologies for enhancing the passenger travel experience.
The partnership between Grenzebach Automation and Vanderlande at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol can be cited as an example. The companies together developed an Integrated Robot Loading concept, which is a robotic system that employs AI to replace manual labor for baggage handling. This new upgraded system provides one central storage facility where all checked-in and transferred baggage can be moved. The robotic arm at this storage facility automatically loads containers and ramp carts. Thus, such factors drive the growth of the SBH solutions market during the forecast period.
The scarcity of skilled resources to operate these advanced systems is a major challenge impeding the market. Though artificial intelligence (AI) can be a valuable tool for anomaly detection, logistics optimization, and customer service management, it requires many resources to perform well on a continuous basis. AI is in its infancy at present and is undergoing rapid improvements. This signifies that not all firms are equipped with the infrastructure required to harness the true potential of machine learning and other advanced concepts offered by AI. This indicates the limited reach of the concept, as only a few organizations wish to invest in the development of these skills among their personnel. Additionally, the domain is also not well represented in industry-focused education and training curricula.
Moreover, the lack of human resources in an organization limits its vision of machine-powered progress in the real world. Since top recruiters such as Amazon, Google LLC (Google), and Microsoft Corp. hire AI professionals in large numbers at lucrative salary packages, the other companies are bound to face issues in obtaining the required talent. This forces the players in other industries, such as aviation, to adopt AI-driven technologies on a service basis, hindering the development of in-house capability. Therefore, such factors will hinder the growth of the global SBH solutions market during the forecast period.

The smart baggage tracking device segment was valued at USD 2.35 billion in 2018. Most airports are investing in integrating Wi-Fi, beacon, Bluetooth, and cloud services to provide baggage information to passengers and speed up the luggage collection process at the claim area. Among the aforementioned technologies, the adoption of beacon technology has witnessed a special interest. Furthermore, the growing need for trackable luggage throughout a journey has created a scope for new start-ups and established companies to develop smart luggage that is integrated with SIM cards, Wi-Fi hotspots, Bluetooth, and GPS. AWOL designed a type of smart luggage with a tracking device that shuts down when the bag is boarded onto a flight and turns on upon landing, thereby complying with the regulations of not using wireless technology on board. Such new innovations in luggage also propel the market to a considerable extent.
