Passport Information Scanner Market Size to Reach USD 2.5 Million by 2035, Expanding at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2025 to 2035

Market Overview

The Passport Information Scanner Market is projected to have grown from 1,023 USD million in 2025 to 2,500 USD million. Over the course of the forecast period (2025–2035), the Passport Information Scanner Market CAGR (growth rate) is anticipated to be approximately 9.3%.

The passport information scanner market broadly encompasses devices and systems that read, extract and verify passport and travel-document data. These scanners play a key role in applications such as airport security, border control and commercial usage (for example, corporate travel checks).

In terms of form factor, the market includes handheld scanners, fixed scanners and portable scanners — each designed to meet different operational environments.

Regionally, North America leads the market in terms of value (about US$340 million in 2024) and is expected to reach about US$850 million by 2035. Europe follows, and the Asia-Pacific region is poised to record the fastest growth owing to increasing travel and infrastructure investments. 

Growth Factors

Several key drivers are underpinning the expansion of the passport information scanner market:

• Resumption and expansion of global travel: As international travel rebounds and expands, airports and border agencies are under pressure to accommodate higher passenger volumes while maintaining security. This places demand on efficient scanning systems.
• Heightened security concerns: The need to safeguard national borders, counter identity fraud, manage migration flows and detect threats means governments and agencies are investing in better document-and-traveller verification tools.
• Technological evolution: Innovations in optical character recognition (OCR), machine readable zone (MRZ) scanning, barcode scanning, and integration of biometrics and artificial intelligence are improving the speed, accuracy and utility of passport scanners.
• Regulatory and policy support: Initiatives around smart borders, e-visas and digital travel credentials are pushing agencies to upgrade scanning infrastructure to meet modern requirements.

Together, these forces are creating an environment in which passport scanning systems are becoming a standard part of border and travel infrastructure rather than a luxury add-on.

Market Trends & Opportunities

• Handheld scanners gaining traction: The portability and flexibility of handheld scanners make them especially attractive in dynamic environments or secondary border crossings, beyond fixed installation zones.
• Integration with biometrics and analytics: To maximise efficiency and security, more systems are being designed to tie passport‐scanning functionality with facial recognition, fingerprint checks and AI‐driven insights into traveller patterns.
• Focus on emerging geographies: While North America and Europe remain strong markets, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East/Africa regions are increasingly important growth arenas. For instance, expansion of smart city projects, smart airports and border-modernisation efforts in these regions fuel demand.
• Commercial usage segment growth: Beyond government and airport usage, private enterprises – such as corporate travel operations, event organisers and service kiosks – are beginning to adopt passport scanning technology for verification and access control purposes.

These trends underscore a broadening of the market: not just more volume, but more sophisticated functionality and more diverse usage models.

 Future Outlook

Looking ahead, the passport information scanner market is well-positioned for sustained growth. With the forecast to reach US$2,500 million by 2035 and a healthy CAGR of ~9.3 %, market participants can expect a strong runway. 

Key strategic imperatives for vendors and buyers include focusing on interoperability (so different systems and databases can connect), increased mobility (smaller, faster form-factors), and adaptability (to evolving document formats such as e-passports or mobile travel credentials).

Moreover, as passenger volumes continue to rebound and migrate beyond traditional hubs, attention will turn to deploying scanning solutions in less-served regions and non-airport venues alike. The evolving threat landscape, regulatory requirements and travel ecosystem dynamics will continue to drive investment in next-generation scanning technologies.

For organisations on the supply side, the opportunity lies in developing modular, upgradeable platforms and forging partnerships with travel/identity ecosystems. On the demand side, border agencies, airports and large travel-service providers must evaluate scanners not as stand-alone tools but as part of a wider identity-verification and traveller-experience strategy.
