Global E-Passport-And-E-Visa Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Worldwide Supportive Regulatory Structures – Today, several nations have legal mechanisms that make holding e-passports mandatory. For instance, under the Visa Waiver Program by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, citizens of participating countries are allowed to travel to the U.S. for tourism or business and can stay up to 90 days without a visa. Moreover, in order to avail of these privileges and to travel under the program, one should possess an e-passport with the biometrical information of the owner stored in a microchip. At present, there are more than 35 participating countries under this program. The visa waiver program of the EU is called European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). To complete the online application for ETIAS, travelers should possess a biometric passport. Further, according to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), e-passports are issued by 101 issuing authorities.
-
General Availability of Advanced Airport Infrastructure – In 2019, more than 19 million departure passengers used the facility of e-security gates at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
-
Effectively Controlling Cyber Crimes – E-passport stores unique biometrics like a person's iris or fingerprints, which to steal or replicate would be virtually impossible. As per the data collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in their Internet Crime Report 2021, the organization recorded 847376 complaints of cybercrimes in the year in the United States.
-
Steady Growth in Air Traffic till the Onset of COVID-19 – With the increase in passengers in airports, those holding an e-passport save time by getting it examined in a few seconds. Therefore, it is anticipated to surge the growth of the global e-passport-and-e-visa market. As per the data compiled by the World Bank and ICAO, there was a steady growth in the number of airline passengers from 3.47 billion in 2015 to 4.56 billion in 2019.
-
Immediate Effectiveness in Controlling Environmental Crisis – The application for an e-visa happens completely online, thereby avoiding the pile of paperwork involved in the application process for a traditional visa. More than 25% of the total waste in landfills is paper waste.
Challenges

Excessive Spending on Initial Deployment and Replacement
-
Inadequate Infrastructure of ITC in Some Countries

Inevitable Usage of Privacy-sensitive Technologies
