Covid-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained By Pandemic Due To Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Covid-19 thus had a serious effect on the Airport Transit Baggage Vehicle Market growth, largely in terms of checking its growth owing to the wide disruption of supply chains. While air travel fell drastically during the pandemic, the finances of both airports and airlines were seriously disrupted, thus delaying or canceling investments in new baggage handling equipment. Factory shutdowns, global lockdowns, and the unavailability of raw materials affected the production and delivery process for airport baggage vehicles. In addition, due to restricted international trade and transport, there was a delay in the supply of components, hence further affecting the manufacturing process. Moreover, low demand was registered in the market as airports focused on cost-cutting measures rather than upgrading ground support equipment. Although the market recovered with time, air travel also started to be gradually resumed, its effects resulted in slower growth than expected, and thus a need for a much stronger supply chain in the future.

LATEST TRENDS

"Shift Toward Sustainability And Automation To Drive Market "

The biggest trends which control the current landscape comprise a few: First and foremost, it will be sustainability and automation. Due to attempts by airports to reduce harmful emissions, electric baggage vehicles are in high demand to turn to greener technologies. Automation also continues to play an increasingly important role as many are testing autonomous baggage vehicle methods for improved operating efficiency to cut down labor costs. Except for that, sophisticated tracking systems built into IoT-enabled solutions are also enhancing baggage handling processes through real-time tracking and mishandling reductions. These trends, besides technology and environmental concerns, shape the future for airport ground support equipment.

Airport Transit Baggage Vehicle Market SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Electric Baggage Vehicle, Diesel Baggage Vehicle, & Others

• Electric Baggage Vehicle: While most airports are now turning to greener technologies, the trend for electric baggage vehicles is emerging. They provide eco-friendly solutions with a reduction in carbon emissions and operation costs. Thus, electric models are expected to grab a considerable market share due to rising environmental regulations and sustainability measures.

• Diesel Luggage Vehicles: Though now, they are more focussed on electric, diesel luggage vehicles are still the norm based upon their reliability, much higher power output, and ability to operate for extended numbers of hours. They are widely used in areas where restrictions around exhaust emissions are not as harsh or electrical charging infrastructures are minimal.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Commercial Airports, Military Airports, & Others

• Commercial Airports: Commercial airports have the highest demand generated in the airport transit baggage vehicle market. Keeping in mind the traffic generated by air travel across the globe, the expansion of capacity and infrastructure at more and more airports is driving higher deployment in this segment of both electric and diesel vehicles to meet the demand of efficient baggage handling.

• Military Airports: Major military airports also utilize baggage vehicles, not as much as in the case of commercial airports. Such vehicles can be modified to take on specialized equipment and cargo in an effort to provide logistics support for military personnel and operations. What one wants in most inimical conditions is a hardy class of vehicle.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Air Travel Demand to Boost the Market"

As the number of passengers and cargo to be handled at the globally scattered airports increases, so does the demand for effective baggage handling systems.
