The global passenger boarding bridge market is expected to grow at a steady rate of 8% CAGR through 2033. In 2023, the total market value for passenger jet bridges worldwide is estimated at USD 2.05 billion, with projections to reach USD 4.43 billion by 2033, according to FMI’s analysis.

The increasing popularity of air travel is a key driver for the growing demand for passenger boarding bridges. Airlines are expanding their luxury travel offerings, leading to a rise in demand for glass passenger boarding bridges. Additionally, the need for larger aircraft and the increase in airport development projects are expected to further fuel market growth.

Despite these positive trends, higher airport infrastructure spending and growing security concerns could slow the adoption of automated boarding bridges. The market is also expected to be influenced by the long lifespan of boarding bridges due to the use of durable materials.

However, the push for automation at airports is driving demand for boarding bridges with hydraulic elevation systems, which are favored over traditional models. Airport authorities are also leaning toward eco-friendly solutions, such as biodegradable boarding bridges, to reduce pollution. Leading manufacturers are focusing on these innovations to expand their customer base.
