Louisville, CO (PRWEB) February 12, 2014 -- Acuity Market Intelligence reports that the rapidly evolving Automated Border Control (ABC) eGate and kiosk market will generate more than $1.2 billion dollars in annual revenue by 2020. The total number of ABC eGates deployed as fully automated replacements for border control stations is projected to exceed 6,000 by 2020. An additional 33,000 specailized immigration self-service kiosks and eGates will be deployed at check-in, baggage drop, arrival halls, and boarding gates at airports, land borders, and seaports worldwide.
Europe will be the largest market for ABC eGates and kiosks generating more than $2 billion in revenues and representing a 47% total revenue market share from 2014 to 2020. Asia will follow with nearly $1 billion in revenues and a 22.5% revenue market share over the forecast period.
Airports will be the dominant sector in the ABC eGate and kiosk marketplace representing 95% of installed units and 93% of revenues in 2014. By 2020, airports cede ground to land borders and seaports but remain the clear market sector leader with more than 80% annual revenue and unit market share.
“Increasing international travel volumes and congested borders are driving adoption of automated border control processes,” said Acuity Principal, Maxine Most. “Across the globe, port management and border authorities are embracing ABC eGates and kiosks as a means to provide modern, safe, and user-friendly border crossing experiences that facilitate global travel and enhance sovereign security.”
Most continued, “ABC eGates and kiosks represent the customer facing touch points to what promises to be a far more complex and highly interoperable 21st century border management IT infrastructure. Over time, this IT infrastructure will evolve into an even more comprehensive network that integrates both passenger and immigration processing in a way that will fundamentally reshape the global travel experience.”
