Increasing Regional Security Concerns and Demand for Surveillance Systems
The global rise in terrorism, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and smuggling has intensified the need for stringent security protocols and efficient screening processes. Advanced security screening technologies enable rapid and precise threat detection, minimizing potential risks in crowded areas and large public gatherings. The integration of automation and AI-driven technologies in security screening systems ensures faster and more accurate identification of threats, improving operational efficiency and public safety.

High Costs and Health Concerns Pose Market Challenges

While technological advancements continue to enhance detection capabilities, the high cost of full-body scanners and the associated health risks from X-ray exposure remain key restraints. Full-body scanners using X-ray and millimeter-wave technology provide detailed imaging for contraband detection, but their installation and operation costs are substantial. To mitigate health concerns, market participants are increasingly shifting towards millimeter-wave scanners and low-radiation backscatter systems, ensuring safe and efficient screening procedures.
