COVID-19 impact on market dynamics:
 

The tourism industry is heavily reliant on aviation, with about 1.4 billion tourists crossing border each year and half of them availing air transportation. However, that number is expected to plummet with the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus which has adversely affected both the tourism and aviation industry due to travel restrictions. As per the ICAO, the pandemic is estimated to record a reduction in air passenger traffic in the range 1,878 million to 3,227 million passengers globally in 2020. Also, according to the UNWTO, international tourism industry is projected to decline by USD 910 to 1,170 billion in 2020, as compared to USD 1.5 trillion amassed in 2019.  Additionally, ACI estimates that global air passenger traffic will drop 50% in 2020. This declining trend of air passengers is impeding the global passport reader industry. However, relaxations on travel bans are likely to kickstart the industry in the near future.
