Automated Border Control Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Rise in number of international passengers to propel travel and tourism industry
The transportation industry plays a major role in the GDP of any country. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, travel and tourism contributed 6.1% to the global GDP in 2021. The growth of the transportation industry in any country is determined by factors such as the rising tourism industry, economic growth, infrastructure, and per capita income of consumers. Besides, a significant rise in international passenger travel has been observed in recent years. This has resulted in an increase in the demand for effective border control systems. As more people travel across borders, traditional manual border control processes have become overwhelmed, leading to long wait times and decreased efficiency. Hence, border crossings have largely installed ABC systems, i.e., eGates and kiosks, owing to their ability to efficiently handle a large number of travelers compared with border control agents.
RESTRAINT: Lack of security standardization across different systems and countries
Security standard for different countries is determined by the policies formulated by their governments. The policies keep on changing and upgrading as per the requirement of all the regions. For instance, some countries might check goods crossing their border, some might check people, while others may check both depending upon the mode of transport and political situations among the countries. Moreover, the requirement for ABC systems has changed since its inception. The first generation of e-gates was introduced in 2002 and relied on simple barcode scanning technology to authenticate the passport or travel document of the traveler. These systems were limited in their ability to detect fraudulent documents and could be easily bypassed by individuals using fake passports or stolen identities. These systems were defined by each state.
OPPORTUNITY: Growing implementation of digital ID verification systems by governments and transportation organizations
Digital ID verification is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenience, speed, and security, and it is being adopted by a growing number of travelers around the world. As a result, many governments and transportation organizations are investing in ABC systems that incorporate digital ID verification to enhance the travel experience.
Digital ID verification through mobile devices eliminates the need for travelers to carry physical documents and can be completed from anywhere, making the process more convenient. It can incorporate advanced security features, such as biometric authentication and facial recognition technology, to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of border control procedures. Besides, these systems are more cost-effective to implement than traditional border control methods, as they do not require as much specialized hardware or infrastructure.
CHALLENGE: Rising risk of cyberattacks on automated border control systems in transportation industry
ABC systems streamline the process of clearing international travelers through customs and immigration checkpoints. These systems use advanced technologies such as biometrics and machine learning to quickly and accurately authenticate the identities of travelers and determine their eligibility to enter a country. However, cyberattacks on these systems lead to compromise the security and integrity of the entire border control process. Cyberattacks are a major concern in the transportation industry as they involve travelers’ personal data, including their biometrics. Hackers try to access sensitive personal information stored in the eGate systems, such as passport information and biometric data, to use for criminal activities.
Automated Border Control Ecosystem
Prominent companies in this market include well-established, financially stable manufacturers and providers of automated border control systems. These companies have been operating in the market for several years and possess a diversified product portfolio, state-of-the-art technologies, and strong global sales and marketing networks. Prominent companies in this market include Vision-Box (Portugal), SITA (Netherlands), Secunet Security Networks AG (Germany), IDEMIA (France), and Thales (France).
ABC E-Gates is estimated to hold the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Automated border control E-gates are physical gates that travelers walk through, and they use advanced biometric technologies, such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and iris recognition, to verify travelers’ identities. E-gates are typically installed at airports, seaports, and land borders, and they are designed to process large volumes of travelers quickly. In 2022, the ABC E-gates segment held a larger share of the automated border control market. These ABC e-gates are in high demand by applications, such as airports and seaports, as these systems allow border control agencies to process travelers more quickly and efficiently than traditional manual methods and enhance security at the ports. Besides, these systems process a maximum number of passengers without increasing staff costs, which is also responsible for the growth of the segment.
Hardware segment holds the largest share of automated border control in 2022
Hardware plays a crucial role in the development of automated border control systems. In 2022, hardware offerings held a larger share of the automated border control market. The hardware components in the automated border control system have led to the development of more advanced and reliable self-service kiosks and e-gates, which in turn, is driving the demand for advanced hardware components. Besides, the increasing need for biometric verification in the border control process is also responsible for the growth of the segment. Biometric verification is the most accurate and authentic validation technology suggested by transport authorities globally.
Seaports segment to be the second-largest growing segment during the forecast period
Seaports that serve as border crossings for people often have dedicated facilities and processes in place to process the immigration and customs requirements of passengers. These facilities are equipped with checkpoints, counters, and personnel to process the arrival and departure of individuals. Seaports used for border crossing of people implement robust security measures. Hence, automated border control systems are being implemented at seaports to enhance security, streamline operations, and facilitate the movement of goods and passengers. The seaports segment is expected to hold considerable growth of the automated border control market during the forecast period owing to the growing maritime trade, security enhancement requirements, and efficient cargo processing.
Asia Pacific region is likely to hold the largest growth rate by 2028
Asia Pacific comprises a diverse range of economies with varying levels of development. The region is experiencing a significant increase in air travel, driven by factors such as economic growth, rising incomes, and an expanding middle class. This growth in air travel necessitates the implementation of efficient automated border control systems to handle the rising passenger volumes. Besides, the rapid technological advancements and digitalization in various industries, including the travel and transportation sector, is also significant factor driving the growth of the automated border control market in APAC. This digital transformation has fueled the adoption of automated border control systems as part of a broader effort to modernize and streamline border control processes.

Market Definition
Automated Border Control (ABC) refers to the use of advanced technologies and automated systems at border checkpoints to facilitate the movement of people across national borders while ensuring border security. ABC systems often use biometric technologies, such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, to verify the identity of travelers and determine their eligibility to enter or exit a country. These systems are designed to improve border security by reducing the risk of human errors and fraudulent activities. They also streamline border control processes by allowing passengers to self-process their travel documents and identity verification, which can lead to faster processing times and reduced wait times at border checkpoints. ABC systems can be found at various points of entry, including airports, seaports, and land border crossings.
