Baggage handling systems

Baggage handling systems are the systems that are installed at railways and airports that are responsible for handling the baggage right from the check in point to the loading area onto the aircrafts, airplanes, or railways. The baggage handling systems are responsible for monitoring the baggage weight, scan the baggage for security purposes and read bag data automatically.

Baggage handling systems valued at $1.25 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $4.21 Billion by 2032, growing at a 7.2% CAGR

Market Overview:

The airport baggage handling systems market is dominated by a few key players, including Siemens AG, SITA, Beumer Group, Vanderlande Industries, and Leonardo SpA. These companies have expanded their global presence through partnerships with airport authorities and airlines. For example, in December 2022, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) introduced a state-of-the-art baggage handling system at Denver International Airport, known as the Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS). This sophisticated system employs a network of conveyor belts to efficiently sort and track luggage during security screening, representing an investment of nearly USD 160 million. With the increasing demand driven by growing passenger traffic, smaller players are expected to emerge and compete by addressing customer needs.
