The "Airport Baggage Handling System Market Global Report 2026" delivers crucial insights for strategists, marketers, and senior management aiming to seize opportunities in a burgeoning market. This comprehensive analysis spans 16 geographies, providing a global perspective indispensable for understanding upcoming trends projected to reshape the market.

The airport baggage handling system market has been experiencing significant growth and is projected to continue its upward trajectory. A surge in global air passenger traffic is driving the demand for automated systems, which are integral to the expansion of airport infrastructure projects that integrate modernized conveyor and sorting technologies. From a market size of $9.4 billion in 2025, it is expected to reach $10.14 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.9%. This increase is powered by rising regulatory focus on security, encouraging the adoption of advanced baggage screening technologies, coupled with advancements in barcoding and RFID solutions for precise bag identification.

By 2030, the market size is anticipated to grow to $13.26 billion, registering a CAGR of 6.9%. The forecasted growth can be linked to the adoption of real-time bag tracking through integrated RFID and IoT platforms and investments in fully automated systems. The rise of smart airports equipped with data-driven solutions for load management contributes to this trend, as well as the demand for high-throughput screening technologies that enhance security and manage congestion. Trends include automation in baggage tracking, predictive maintenance system integration, and improved passenger experience through faster handling processes.

Air traffic growth impels the need for efficient baggage handling systems to manage increasing passenger volumes and reduce turnaround times, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. For example, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that in 2024, international full-year traffic grew by 13.6%, with capacity rising by 12.8%, illustrating an increased demand for airport baggage handling solutions.

Leading companies in the market emphasize innovation, such as rack-based early baggage storage systems. These systems improve capacity and accuracy by incorporating dynamic storage within the baggage flow process. BEUMER Group, a key German player, recently upgraded the baggage handling system at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 by integrating the CrisStore rack-based storage with the CrisBag carrier system, enhancing throughput while optimizing tracking accuracy. Moreover, Switzerland's SITA has partnered with IDEMIA to enhance baggage management using intelligent vision technology.

Prominent market players include Beumer Group, Daifuku Co. Ltd., Fives SA, Glidepath Limited, and Siemens AG, among others. The North American region led the market in 2025, and the market spans regions such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East.

Globally shifting trade relations and tariffs are significant market factors. Tariff impacts have raised costs on importing equipment crucial for efficient baggage handling systems, which could lead to increased investment in domestic innovations to maintain efficiency and compliance. Moreover, the airport baggage handling system market offers ample opportunities, including regional market shares and new technological implementations.
