Automated Border Control Market size is expected to reach USD 7 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 14% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of automated border control was USD 2 Billion. The reason behind the growth is due to the growing travel and tourism industry across the globe. The travel and tourism industry has had a strong upswing driven by a rise in foreign travel and shifting customer tastes. For instance, the travel and tourism industry increased by more than 20% from 2021 to 2022, contributing around 7% of the world's GDP. Particularly, global travel and tourism revenue is expected to reach around USD 105 billion in 2028, growing at a rate of over 3% between 2024 and 2028.
The growing deployment of advanced technologies including artificial intelligence is believed to fuel market growth. Artificial intelligence (AI) with a border focus is being developed and used through the application of facial recognition technology for a variety of reasons, including border control, asylum, and migration. The term "artificial intelligence" (AI) has evolved to refer to automated technology and border control systems that are considered new and could be applied to verify individuals and items as well as detect and identify dangers.

Procedure Type (Integrated Two-Step Process, One Step Process, Segerated Two-Step Process)
The integrated two-step process segment is estimated to gain a robust revenue share of 52% in the coming years owing to the growing need for border security. Border security agencies are under pressure to maintain the highest levels of security owing to the growing instability in geopolitical and territorial conflicts. This has led to the increasing adoption of integrated two-step processes for automated border control where verification of security documents and authentication of travelers is done by following two steps for identifying potential threats before they reach the border. Moreover, the integrated two-step process involves verifying the traveler in separate steps, and the validation after document authentication occurs only if authentication is successful.
In addition, single-step procedures do not require registration and allow for one-step verification to verify the traveler's identity.
