Market Dynamics 

The growth in middle-class population in the developing regions such as China and India have led to an increase in air passenger traffic, and this trend is expected to continue in the near future. Lower airfares, increasing living standards, and the growing middle-class population in large emerging markets, such as China and India, are major contributors to increasing air travel. The middle class, in both countries combined, grew from 80 million, in 2000, to 135 million in 2016, exhibiting an increase of nearly 70 percent. China has contributed significantly to global traffic growth over the last 10 years, as its passenger growth has increased at an average rate of more than 10% per year during. Furthermore, in order to handle the growth in the air traffic, many airports in different parts of the world have been undergoing expansions which have led to an increase in the demand for passenger screening systems from the airports. Countries which are a part of the Gulf Cooperation Council are in the midst of expanding their airports owing to the fact that the region comprises a few of the busiest airports. The growth in the air traffic will provide seamless travel experience to the passengers. Additionally, India under its regional connectivity scheme has envisaged developing the underserved and unserved airports to boost domestic air travel. In addition, emerging economies, like China, are transitioning to a more service-based economy, supporting sustained air travel demand into the future. This trend is projected to continue in global economic outlooks.

Asia-Pacific Region: The Fastest Growing Market for Airport Passenger Screening Systems

Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing market for passenger screening systems, and its market share is set to increase during the forecast period. The market growth in the region would be backed by growth in traffic and improving infrastructure, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Beijing Daxing International Airport is Beijing's second international airport and is currently under construction. The terminal building is expected to be completed by July 2019 and the airport is expected to open by the end of 2019. After completion, the airport is likely to be capable of handling almost 100 million passengers annually.
