Boarding Pass Printer Market Size to Surpass USD 1.5 Million by 2035, Growing at 5.9% CAGR from 2025 to 2035

Market Overview

The global Boarding Pass Printer Market for boarding pass printers saw a valuation of USD 799.2 million in 2024, according to the latest data from the referenced report. It is anticipated to grow to about USD 846.3 million in 2025, and then expand significantly to reach around USD 1,500 million by 2035.  The implied compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the decade from 2025 to 2035 stands at approximately 5.9 %.

This market encompasses a diverse set of printer types (such as thermal, inkjet, dot-matrix and laser), connectivity options (wired, wireless, Bluetooth, USB), end-use sectors (commercial and personal), and routing across major world regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa.

Growth Factors

Several key drivers underpin this bullish outlook. Firstly, the rise in global air passenger traffic exerts pressure on airlines and airports to optimise check-in, boarding and passenger flow operations — thereby creating demand for reliable boarding pass printing solutions.

Secondly, technological advancement is playing a major role. Printer manufacturers are integrating IoT, mobile printing compatibility and cloud-enabled workflows to ensure printers can rapidly serve not just legacy kiosks but evolving mobile-first boarding processes.

Thirdly, the shift toward contactless and self-service in airports — significantly accelerated by the pandemic environment — is encouraging adoption of printers that can handle mobile boarding passes, QR codes and self-check-in kiosks with minimal physical interaction.

Finally, geographic expansion in emerging markets (particularly Asia-Pacific) with increasing low-cost carrier penetration and airport infrastructure upgrades is also adding momentum.

Trends and Opportunities

Within printer type segmentation, thermal printers are dominating due to their high speed, reliability and suitability for high-traffic airport environments, while inkjet printers are gaining traction for quality output in more specialised scenarios.  Connectivity-wise, while traditional wired connections remain important in fixed kiosks, there is growing uptake of wireless and Bluetooth solutions to support mobile check-in and flexible printing environments.

From an opportunity standpoint, the market is ripe for new business models: bundling of boarding-pass printers with mobile boarding applications, biometric and self-service systems, and eco-friendly printing technologies which appeal to sustainability-conscious travel operations.

There is also a clear trend of airports and airlines seeking to deliver enhanced passenger experience through faster processing, fewer bottlenecks and modernised check-in/boarding systems — all of which enhance the value proposition for advanced printer solutions.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead to 2035, the market trajectory suggests strong, steady growth rather than explosive leaps — the 5.9 % CAGR implies that the market will nearly double in size over the ten-year period. With the market projected at USD 1.5 billion by 2035, this implies ongoing investments in upgrading infrastructure, especially in markets that are replacing legacy systems or expanding capacity.

Regionally, North America is expected to remain a leading market thanks to mature aviation infrastructure, digitalisation, and high-volume traffic, while Asia-Pacific is set to emerge as a fast-growing region due to rising travel demand and airport modernisation.

For solution providers and investors alike, the key will be aligning product innovation (compact, mobile-friendly, eco-efficient printers) with evolving customer needs (mobile boarding, contactless operations, sustainable operations). The interplay of digital check-in, kiosk deployment and boarding pass printing hardware will continue to shape the competitive landscape.

Conclusion

The boarding pass printer market represents a compelling infrastructure-adjacent segment of the aviation and travel technology ecosystem. With projected growth, clear drivers and evolving user demands, this market offers sustained opportunities for manufacturers, system integrators and travel operators. Firms that stay ahead of trends in mobile access, connectivity, ecological design and airport automation are likely to capture a disproportionate share of growth. As the travel industry continues its recovery and transformation, boarding pass printing hardware — far from being static — is becoming a key enabler of seamless, efficient passenger journeys.
