E-gates, also known as electronic gates or automated border control systems, are becoming increasingly popular in managing passenger processing at airports and seaports. These systems utilize biometric technology, such as facial recognition, iris scanning, and fingerprint recognition, for identity verification. The implementation of e-gates aims to streamline the immigration process, reduce wait times, and enhance border security. Automation using biometrics, including facial recognition, RFID (radio-frequency identification), and self-service kiosks, are integral components of e-gates. Biometric verification through these systems collects data and enables AI-powered personalization, offering a more efficient and automated travel experience. E-gates are essential for border control and immigration procedures, ensuring security and data collecting through biometric identification methods. The integration of these systems in airports and seaports significantly minimizes the need for manual intervention, making the overall travel experience more seamless and convenient for passengers. E-gates have a regional footprint, with widespread adoption in various parts of the world, and continue to evolve with advancements in technology, such as AI and machine learning, to further enhance their capabilities.
Reduced airport operating expenses are the key factor driving the growth of the market. Airport electronic gates are an automatic system that helps airports replace security guards to detect and prevent exit lane violations. This automated system enhances safety on the ground and in the air and helps reduce ongoing operating costs. It gives airports a quick return on investment in this automated system with a cost-effective way to monitor exit lanes.
Moreover, automated airport e-gates free up labor, which can be reallocated to more productive tasks such as checkpoint screening and employee screening. Just a one-time investment in an automated system can reduce the recruitment of five to six security guards. Therefore, it will lead to a reduction in operating costs, thereby promoting the adoption of airport e-gates and driving the growth of the global e-gates market during the forecast period.
The increasing need for on-time accuracy of aircraft is the primary trend shaping the growth of the market. The aircraft's time accuracy is proportional to the time it takes passengers to complete security checks upon boarding. Owing to the large number of passengers traveling around the world every day, security checkpoints can be crowded. This causes delays in the time it takes passengers to board flights.
However, it causes a delay in the takeoff of the aircraft which in turn affects the landing of the aircraft. Therefore, an aircraft delay will affect the entire aircraft schedule for the day, thereby reducing efficiency and affecting aircraft operations. Therefore, aircraft accuracy will be the key trend, driving the growth of the global e-gate market during the forecast period.
Resistance to adopting technologies is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. New technological advances appear in a short period of time. People have more potential to refuse to use new technological advances because they do not seem too trustworthy to them. New technology may seem inappropriate, unwanted, or undesirable to users. Moreover, external factors can limit the use of new technologies. Users may not find the new technology user-friendly.
Additionally, many countries are uncomfortable with the technology that does the profiling work because it can be hacked. Countries like the US prefer to interact directly with immigration officials before they board their flights. Therefore, resistance to adopting new technology will pose a major challenge that will impede the growth of the global e-gate market during the forecast period.
The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion " for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018 - 2022 for the following segments.
The market share growth by the hardware segment will be significant during the forecast period. Some of the hardware used in electronic gates are cameras for facial recognition, light-emitting diode (LED) screens to display traveler information, automatic gates that permit customers to pass through after verification, and iris and fingerprint scanners. The hardware used for verification and scanning must be able to prevent security violations. Therefore, the cost of hardware used to develop e-gates is very high.

The hardware segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 717.40 million in 2018. One of the factors propelling the growth of the hardware segment of the global e-gates market is the increasing focus on improving security measures at airports and border crossings. Continuous technological advancements are another factor driving the growth of the hardware segment. The advent of more compact and user-friendly hardware components has made electronic gates more accessible and more cost-effective. Therefore, the growing demand for enhanced security measures, technological advancements, and the need for effective management using crowd analytics at airports are expected to drive the growth of the hardware segment of the global e-gate market during the forecast period.
E-gates have become popular at airports around the world due to their ability to streamline passenger management, increase security, and enhance overall operational efficiency. E-gates enable self-service passport control, allowing passengers to complete the necessary verification processes without the need for manual intervention by immigration officers. In addition, the deployment of airport e-gates helps to improve operational efficiency. By automating the passenger screening process, airport staff can be deployed to other important tasks, thereby optimizing resource allocation. Therefore, these factors will boost the implementation of electronic gates at airports worldwide and drive the growth of the market across the airport segment during the forecast period.
