Key Industry Segmentation
By Type
Due to emphasis on screening of passengers at large volumes at check-in, boarding and customs areas; the terminal segment accounted for the largest segment in airport security market share in 2024, with a percentage of 61.8% Full-body scanners, biometrics, and AI surveillance have made terminal operations safer and more efficient.
Between 2025 and 2032, the airside segment is projected to exhibit the highest growth rate, attributed to increasing awareness of drone threats, unauthorized access, and cargo security, leading to increased implementation of UAV detection and next-gen perimeter defense technologies.
By Technology
Cybersecurity accounted for the largest share of 23.5% in 2024 in the airport security market, due to an increase in cyberattacks against the IT systems, databases, and operational networks of airports. Airports are losing the traditional paper-based approach and banking on digital platforms to process passengers and manage their operations, which makes the need to protect the systems even more critical.
Due to increasing incidences of intrusions, runway incursions, and drone threats, perimeter security segment is anticipated to dominate the fastest growth from 2025 to 2032. Thermal imaging, radar, motion sensors, and automated fencing are being utilized to provide a bolstered level of security in essential airside areas.
By Airport Size
With continuous high traffic and intricate connected systems at airports handling more than 50-million passengers, the overall Airport Screening Market share was largest by 32.6% in 2024 for Medium and High Traffic airports and airlines require wide range of security and surveillance solutions such as biometrics, AI based Surveillance Systems, advanced and mulit layered screening to ensure high security.
Airports in the 15–30 million Passenger segment are anticipated to grow at a rapid pace between 2025 and 2032, largely due to regional connectivity in emerging economies and increased implementation of scalable security systems like cloud-based monitoring and smart entry control systems.
Regional Airport Security Trends: North America Leads, Asia Pacific Accelerates with Rapid Tech Adoption
The airport security market in North America accounted for the highest share of 31.7% in 2024 followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, due to well-established airport infrastructure and early adoption of novel technologies like biometric authentication, AI-based surveillance, and cybersecurity frameworks in the U.S. where stringent TSA regulations and large scale airport upgrades dominate.
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region with a CAGR of 9.49%, driven by large-scale expansion of airports, increasing passenger traffic & related service demand, and digital transformation initiatives backed by governments in emerging economies like China and India. On the other hand, Europe is expected to be a key region owing to the abiding stringent aviation laws, rising data protective user-centric policies, and speedy adoption of biometrics and AI-enabled systems.
Latin America and the Middle East & Africa have made steady progress, as Latin American countries upgrade legacy systems, and middle eastern countries aggressively deploy high-tech systems to meet the increasing pressure from tourism and international events.
