Baggage Handling System Market

 The global baggage handling system was worth US$ 7 billion in 2020. The global baggage handling market is expected to reach US$ 13.1 billion by the year 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2030.

The baggage handling system is installed in the airport to transfer passenger’s baggage from the loading place at the ticket counter to the area where the baggage is loaded in an aircraft or train.

Factors Affecting

• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the current technology of baggage handling systems had to include certain new solutions like UV light and aerosol disinfection, automated baggage handling systems, etc. These improvements will result in the increasing demand of the global baggage handling system market.
• There have been few improvements in baggage handling and tracking with the application of RFID tags to reduce instances of baggage mishandling. Due to this, there may be an increase in demand for the global baggage handling system market.
• The installation of a baggage handling system requires large investments, and the planning to place the system according to the layout of the airport and other transport hubs like railway station adds to the cost. It may result in a slow down of growth of the global baggage handling system market.

Impact Analysis of Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a strict lockdown in an attempt to curb the spread of the virus. The lockdown caused severe restrictions on non-essential services, which included travel and tourism. The market witnessed a significant decrease in the footfall of passengers at the airport, which resulted in a decreased demand for the baggage handling system. The demand for baggage handling systems may increase in the post-Covid scenario as the severity of the pandemic reduces over time and tourism flourishes.

Regional Insights
