Airport Moving Walkways Market Revenue Outlook: What CAGR Lies Ahead Through 2030?
The airport moving walkways market has experienced significant expansion recently. It is set to expand from $2.5 billion in 2025 to $2.63 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. This historical growth can be linked to the widening global airport infrastructure, increasing passenger traffic volumes, the modernization of older airport terminals, a rise in the deployment of accessibility infrastructure, and the development of major hub airports.
The market size for airport moving walkways is projected to experience substantial expansion over the upcoming years. By 2030, this market is anticipated to reach $3.2 billion, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. This projected growth is driven by several factors, including greater investments in smart airport initiatives, a heightened need for high-capacity systems to move passengers, the widening scope of airport modernization efforts, an increased emphasis on energy-efficient transport infrastructure, and the growing uptake of automated solutions for passenger flow. Key trends for the forecast duration encompass the increasing deployment of accelerating moving walkway systems, a surging demand for energy-efficient airport transit solutions, the expanding incorporation of intelligent safety and monitoring capabilities, the wider implementation of modular walkway designs suitable for contemporary terminals, and a heightened emphasis on passenger convenience and ease of access.

Airport Moving Walkways Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
An anticipated increase in air passenger numbers is projected to fuel the expansion of the airport moving walkways market. Frequently, airport travelers carry substantial baggage and need to cover considerable distances. In these scenarios, moving walkways serve as convenient links connecting terminals, traversing unusually lengthy concourses, or providing access to parking facilities. For example, as reported in September 2025 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations headquartered in Canada, worldwide airline passenger figures are forecast to hit 18.7 billion by 2045, which is roughly double the volume seen in 2024. Consequently, this rise in airline passenger volume is a key factor propelling the advancement of the airport moving walkways market.

Airport Moving Walkways Market Trends: What’s Defining The Industry’s Next Phase?
Major companies operating in the airport moving walkway market are concentrating on creating advanced moving elevators to enhance accessibility for travelers carrying luggage. A moving elevator functions as a transportation system, enabling the vertical transit of passengers between various levels within an airport terminal. It boosts convenience and efficiency by offering a seamless flow of movement, thereby minimizing the effort needed to navigate height differences, particularly for those facing mobility challenges or time constraints. As an illustration, in June 2023, Schindler Group, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of moving walkways, installed six pairs of moving walkways on Level 4 of Tampa International Airport’s long-term parking garage. Approximately 200 parking spaces have been restored, with nearly 500 additional spaces projected after the decommission of the old monorail system. The monorail, which had been operational for over 20 years, was replaced due to declining ridership and the requirement for expensive repairs. Work to dismantle the monorail tracks and associated infrastructure is currently in progress.
