Automated Border Control Market To Reach $8.5 Billion by 2035

Automated border control market was valued at $3.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $8.5 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during 2026–2035. The market expansion is strongly driven by rising international passenger traffic, increased border security requirements, and large-scale government investments in biometric identification systems. A key macro driver is the rapid growth in global air travel. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), global passenger traffic is expected to exceed 10 billion travelers annually by 2040, nearly double pre-pandemic levels. This surge is directly increasing demand for automated immigration systems such as e-gates, biometric kiosks, and integrated border control platforms to reduce congestion and improve processing efficiency at airports.

Airports remain the dominant application segment, supported by government modernization programs. For example, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processes over 300 million travelers annually, highlighting the scale of operational demand for automation in border processing systems. The ABC market is primarily segmented into component, solution type, and application. Among solution types, e-gates dominate due to widespread airport adoption, while integrated ABC systems are the fastest-growing segment due to end-to-end automation demand. Airports account for the largest application share, followed by land borders and seaports.

Competitive Landscape

Key companies operating in the global automated border control market include IDEMIA Group, NEC Corporation India, SITA, Thales Group, Vision-Box, and Others. These companies are continuously investing in biometric authentication, AI-powered identity verification, and next-generation e-gate systems to strengthen their global footprint. Strategic collaborations with governments and airport authorities are accelerating the large-scale deployment of integrated automated border control solutions.

Recent Developments

• In February 2026, IDEMIA Public Security and Elenium signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate advanced AI and biometrics with self-service automation. The development focuses on creating a unified identity layer across airport touchpoints, specifically improving border management and identity verification efficiency. This partnership aims to streamline passenger flows through international terminals using computer vision and high-performance automation.

• In March 2025, NEC Corporation received an order from Japan's Immigration Services Agency (ISA) for walkthrough gates leveraging facial recognition technology. The implementation, which commenced on April 1 at Haneda, Narita, and Kansai International Airports, allows travellers to verify their identity while walking to further streamline airport arrival procedures. This development supports Japan’s national target of welcoming 60 million overseas visitors by 2030 to ensure seamless and efficient procedures at airports.
