X-ray Security Scanner Market

Global X-ray Security Scanner Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global X-ray Security Scanner Market is expected to reach USD 3.12 billion in 2024 and USD 4.35 billion in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.88% during the forecast period.

Several factors have a major impact on the sales of X-ray surveillance scanners. Due to increased security requirements at locations with large populations, such as airports, shopping centers, and stadiums, the global X-ray security scanner market is dominated by luggage X-ray security scanners. The study thoroughly examines the X-Ray Security Scanner market, breaking it down by product type, end-user, and geography. To prevent the terrorism threat, illegal immigration, and the transfer of contraband, government buildings, customs, and borders require enhanced security equipment. 

Global X-ray Security Scanner Market Drivers:

Terrorist threats are on the rise all over the world, which is driving the X-ray security market. According to data from our country, there were 26,445 terrorist attacks worldwide in 2017. Critical infrastructure is one of the prime targets for terrorist attacks around the world, and it must be secured from both internal and external threats. The sector is supposed to be driven by various government efforts to prevent terrorist attacks. The emphasis on public space protection has gained worldwide significance as a result of terrorist attacks around the world. Groups like ISIS are urging their acolytes in Western countries to target countries that are participating in military programs in Iraq and Syria.

All forms of harmful metal, biological, and inorganic substances are discovered by security x-ray machines. These X-ray security scanners emit low-penetration radiation to detect metallic and non-metallic objects if kept secret. It also decreases the need for human interference, removing the risk of human error. With the rise of global goods exchange and new and emerging security threats in various sectors, security has become a top priority. Event management, law enforcement, hotels and restaurants, and the transportation industry are among the significant growth applications.

The emphasis on public space protection has gained worldwide significance as a result of terrorist attacks around the world. Groups like ISIS are urging their acolytes in Western countries to target countries that are participating in military programs in Iraq and Syria. The importance of intelligence and security systems has increased due to this. As a result, global terror threats are on the rise. Furthermore, as airport security spending rises, the demand for baggage scanners that use x-ray technology increases. For example, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) recently signed a multi-million-dollar agreement with a global firm to provide baggage scanners, which will be installed at nine Indian airports, including Kolkata and Chennai. A total of USD 400 billion is being invested.

Global X-ray Security Scanner Market Restraints:

X-rays can cause DNA mutations, which could lead to cancer later on in life. As a result, both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States government have listed X-rays as carcinogens. The advantages of X-ray technology, on the other hand, greatly outweigh the risks associated with their use. According to one report, X-rays raise the risk of cancer by 0.6 to 1.8 percent by the age of 75. In other words, the risks are insignificant when weighed against the advantages of medical imaging. These are a few factors that are limiting the development rate of the X-ray security scanner market. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the global X-ray Security Scanner Market:

The COVID-19 pandemic altered the course of history. The coronavirus pandemic infected millions and killed hundreds of thousands in just a few months. Budgets for X-ray protection screening items in 2020-2021 were constrained by the related drop in GDP. The X-Ray Security Screening market will rebound by 2022, thanks to new COVID-19 vaccines with highly high efficacy. The COVID-19 Pandemic is pushing security organizations to rethink their strategies. They must concentrate on the cost-benefit analysis of modern X-ray screening equipment and facilities.

The spread of the novel coronavirus, on the other hand, has significantly impacted the demand for X-ray security scanners. The aviation sector has suffered the most due to the pandemic, with countries closing all international borders. The travel ban was implemented to prevent the virus from spreading further. According to IATA, as of April 2020, Europe had the most considerable YoY revenue passenger kilometer shift on international routes (at – 99%), led by Africa (at – 98.8%). As a result, the use of X-rays for passenger screening has decreased dramatically. The pandemic has caused a drop in air travelers and public transportation, resulting in a drop in X-ray device revenue.
