The Middle East & Africa Air Baggage Handling Systems Market Challenge:

Incessant Cancellation & Project Delays in New Airport Infrastructure Expansion Across Low Income Economies to Impede the Market Growth – Many Middle Eastern countries, such as Lebanon, Bahrain, etc., have witnessed massive challenges with reduced government investment in airport infrastructure due to hampered economic activities in recent years. Budgetary restrictions & adjustments in financial priorities have all been causing delays in airport infrastructure projects across some MEA countries. For instance,

  • In 2023, the government of Lebanon announced that it canceled the Beirut airport terminal, which was a USD122 million contract to construct a new airport terminal.

The factor attributed to restraint in the availability of financing for airport development included regional political unrest, economic downturns due to lowered international oil prices, economic instability, internal issues, etc. Thus, the long-term effects of high inflation, project delays, and low economic growth in many of the countries have led to delaying or discarding the air mobility infrastructure plans, which have been a key challenge for the potential demand, further impeding the Middle East & Africa Air Baggage Handling Systems Market.

The Middle East & Africa Air Baggage Handling Systems Market Opportunity:

Growing Medical Tourism to Offer Growth Opportunities for Baggage Handling Systems – Healthcare is one of the fast-growing sectors in Middle Eastern & African countries. The rising focus on establishing a world-class healthcare system to accommodate both domestic as well as foreign patients has attracted a large number of international tourists to avail medical facilities in the regional countries.

  • In 2022, according to Dubai Health Authority (DHA), the total number of medical tourists arriving in the country increased from 630,000 to 674,000 between 2021 & 2022, respectively. Moreover, about 39% of the tourists came from Asia, 22% from Europe, 21% from adjacent GCC countries, and the rest from other parts of the world.

Additionally, various other countries as Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Israel, etc., have also focused on improving the medical infrastructure as a result of the increased investment, which would promote the growth of medical tourism. Hence, in line with the progression in the healthcare industry, it is expected that it would create lucrative growth opportunities for the aviation industry, further requiring additional baggage & check-in systems to cater to the upcoming surge in air traffic.

 The Middle East & Africa Air Baggage Handling Systems Market Trend:

Rising Number of Expats Across the MEA Countries Enhanced Air Traffic – The market for air baggage handling systems experienced a sizable growth due to the rising number of expatriates in Middle East & African nations. With the development of the private sector & the increase in job opportunities, the region has been observing a rising number of expatriates in recent years. As per the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia, in 2021, the kingdom was home to nearly 10 million expatriates, which represented around 30% of the Saudi population.

In addition, favorable government policies in countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc., such as ease of visa rules & the introduction of temporary work visas, are surging the number of professional expatriates in these countries. Thus, with an increasing number of ex-pats, and improved traffic across the airports, the demand for air baggage handling systems for newer deployment or replacing the existing ones has also increased.

Further, the demand for air travel and effective baggage handling is anticipated to supplement the surging expansion of service-based industries in the region. Thus, the frequent travel requirement of expatriates to and from the country would certainly necessitate the demand for seamless baggage handling services at airports.

The Middle East & Africa Air Baggage Handling Systems Market (2023-28): Segmentation Analysis

The Middle East & Africa Air Baggage Handling Systems Market study of MarkNtel Advisors evaluates & highlights the major trends & influencing factors in each segment & includes predictions for the period 2023–2028 at the regional & national levels. Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on Type:

  • Destination Coded Vehicle (DCV)
  • Conveyer

The Conveyer-based baggage handling system held a sizeable market share in the market during the historical years. Conveyors have been a primary solution for most of the medium- & small-sized airports due to their continuous working path in straight lines for converting medium to long distances. The technology has traditionally been used in a large number of airports with effective management of baggage for both check-in & check-out purposes. In addition to this, as conveyor systems are appropriate for crowded airports with heavy passenger traffic, they shorten processing times by allowing for continuous and seamless circulation of luggage.

Henceforth, most of the old and new airports across the region like Jeddah Airport, Hamad Airport, etc., have been constantly preferring Conveyer-based baggage handling systems over Destination Coded Vehicle (DCV).

Further, as conveyor-based systems frequently offer lower initial capital costs for installation over the DCV systems, and experience fewer mechanical faults or breakdowns, their adoption is projected to amplify in the coming years as well.

Based on Check-in Service Type:

  • Assisted Services
  • Self-Service

Among them, Self-service baggage-handling technologies have been gaining popularity in the aviation sector in the Middle East & Africa (MEA). To improve passenger convenience & speed up the baggage handling process, many airlines & airports have adopted self-service systems. In this system, passengers independently complete duties like generating luggage tags, weighing their bags, and dropping them off for loading aboard the aircraft. These programs have been helping airlines across the region to shorten wait times, boost productivity, and give travelers more control over their luggage.

Moreover, as airports across the MEA countries have been looking for higher automation & reducing reliance on staff members, the usage of self-service baggage handling technologies is predicted to amplify in the upcoming years as well.
