Global Passport Reader Market to reach USD 499.53 million by 2027.Global Passport Reader Market is valued approximately at USD 233.15 million in 2020 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 11.5% over the forecast period 2021-2027. A passport reader is an imaging device that takes photo of the presented identity document using special illuminations, then these images are used for data reading and document verification. Growing trend of adopting mobile passport devices is growing the demand of passport readers. Increasing number of airports, rise in number of air passengers, growing adoption of e-passports and new product launches from market players are fueling he demand in the market. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation report of July 2021, Indian government has planned to increase the number of operational airport from 153 in 2020 to 190-200 by 2040. Also, according to the forecast of International Air Transport Association (IATA) the population of air passengers could double to 8.2 billion in 2037 as compared to around 4 billion in 2018. Furthermore, growing deployment of automatic document verification systems at airports and integration of latest technology such as Internet of thing and artificial intelligence in passport readers are expected to boost the deployment of these devices in near future. Such as, in March 2021, Thales Group deployed more than 45 Automatic Border Control gates (ABC Gates) leveraging facial recognition and automatic document verification in airports of Valencia and Bilbao. However, high installation cost and technical issues such as clandestine scanning may hinder the growth during forecast period.
