The rapid growth in population is increasing customers queues in hospitals, retail shops, clinics, airports, and other facilities, which is one of the major factors fueling the growth of the queue management system market. The growing population has resulted an unorganized queue, which cause frustration among the crowd and deteriorate the service quality. In addition, at the time of peak business hours, the rush in the queue continues to surge, and this results in loss of service quality as the staff tries to manage the queue manually. According to Midlands Technical College data of January 2022, companies are losing their potential customers due to poor service and customer dissatisfaction. The data estimated that poor customer service incurred a loss on business, ranging from US$ 75 billion to US$ 1.6 trillion per year, owing to long queues, cost-cutting strategies, lack of understanding of customer desires, and sacrificing customer satisfaction for growth, among other issues. This loss in revenue is projected to increase in the coming years, which shifts customer preference to competitors’ products, thus resulting in the loss of potential customers. Offering enhanced service quality is of utmost importance among service providers, irrespective of the industry. With an objective to efficiently manage the queue and improve service quality, respective service providers opt for queue management solutions, boosting the growth of the queue management system market.
Automated queuing systems enable customers to check their queuing status at their convenience, which further allows them to utilize the waiting time on other work, propelling the growth of the queue management system market. Several service providers such as Wavetec, and Qmatic have procured and installed automated queue management systems, which automatically request shoppers/customers to move toward the next accessible counter. This eases the workflow, reduces customer waiting time, and improves staff and customer interaction, thereby upgrading the service quality. Thus, these benefits of the queue management system attract a significant number of service providers across industries, driving the growth of the queue management system market.
As the passenger count continues to escalate, airports are challenged with the continuous demand for innovative solutions to control long queues.

Airports face a significant challenge in maintaining an organized queue at the ticketing counter, screening area, and customs section. Hence, there is a high demand for sophisticated solutions that enable the easing of passenger throughput, thereby enhancing service efficiency and return on investment (ROI). As a result, the adoption of the queue management system is on the rise among airports. Thus, the rising focus on service quality enhancement in various sectors drives the queue management system market growth.
