Growing Global Air Passenger Traffic

The Increase in the global air traffic passenger flow is one of the key factors that affect the performance of airport retail shops and overall revenue in airports globally. For instance, Airports Council International (ACI) World and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) states that in 2024, global passenger traffic is expected to surpass pre-pandemic levels, reaching 9.5 billion passengers and by 2030, global passenger traffic is forecast to exceed 12 billion, driven by growth in international markets, particularly in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions. With growth in economic development, improved connectivity, the entrance of low-cost airline companies, and the integration of tourism, global and domestic travel is increasing, and thus, the airports are experiencing record traffic. Higher passenger numbers mean higher chances of sales, especially in duty-free shops and waiting areas, as people have time to look at products. Due to this, airports are no longer just mere transit centers but are becoming places where people spend a considerable amount of time and money. As a result, the airport retail market is expanding.
