Automated Border Control Market Outlook: 2026

Automated border control is a barrier that initiates processing as soon as the traveler enters and assures that the passenger is the rightful holder of the document. It uses the data stored in the chip in biometric passport to verify the user’s identity that involves different verifications that include fingerprint, biometric, face and iris recognition or a combination of any of the above. It helps airport systems with convenience and provides passengers a good experience. It reduces the human error and related time loss by allowing users to pass through the gate automatically. It is helpful in detecting the frauds with greater risk with the help of electronic microprocessors. 

The increase in terrorism has diverted the efforts of government in various regions toward implementation of this technology that is expected to prevent the terrorist activities. Rise in number of travelers makes it difficult for the countries to keep a track and to maintain the security process. Thus, this system is used to simplify the immigration process while maintaining security. These factors are expected to boost the adoption of the automated border control software, which in turn supports the global automated border control market growth during the forecast period.

Rise in awareness about the security concern of the nation and convenience of the travelers are the major factors that drive the growth of the automated border control market. In addition, increase in need for automation across all the ports fuels the growth of the market. However, lack of standardization and higher investment required for the setup of the systems hamper the growth of the automated border control market. Furthermore, adoption of IoT technology in border crossing process and increase in international passenger travelling across the global are anticipated to provide major opportunities in the automated border control market.
