Airport Passenger Screening Systems Market | growing at a CAGR of 4.5% | Analysis and Foresight Report by 2021

Market Highlights:

Air passengers have to undergo strict security screening procedures before embarking an aircraft. The passenger screening involves pat-down search and the use of passenger screening systems (such as metal detectors or full body scanners) as required. As the air traffic has grown, large airports struggle to process the passengers through the security checkpoints, without impacting the operational efficiency of an airport. As a result, advanced passenger screening systems (based on backscatter X-ray and millimeter wave technology) are largely being used at the airports worldwide, in addition to the existing hand held and walk-through metal detectors.

Whole Body Imaging System
The WBI systems (also termed AIT systems or full-body scanners) were mainly introduced by the TSA in the US airports during 2010. Previously, WBI systems were only used in a small number at few of the airports, on trial basis. Because of the WBI's capability to detect concealed items in a passenger (such as non-metallic threats and explosives), the utilization of WBI system has grown as a primary screening method in many of the large airports worldwide.

Metal Detectors
Many of the airports worldwide largely utilize handheld or walkthrough metal detectors for airport passenger screening, in addition to physical pat-down search as required. The metal detectors impose magnetic field within the system portal, and induces eddy currents as metallic object passes through the space. The operator constantly attends the system, and carries out further necessary security steps, if the system detects any potential threat. In metal detector system, the efficiency is not only dependent on the system, but also on the performance of the operator who operates the equipment and implements measures for threat detection alarms.

Regional Analysis
The market growth in Americas is mainly supported by the huge aviation market base in the region, particularly in North America. The US is the single largest market for airport passenger screening systems worldwide. The US has spent billions of dollars to enhance airport security since the 9/11 terror attack.
After the 9/11 incident, Airport Checkpoint Screening Fund was established in the US, as per the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission Act. The fund has since provided for the acquisition and installation of advanced security technologies (including airport passenger screening systems) to improve the detection of explosives and other threats.

In addition, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, allocated $1 billion for aviation security, and procurement of advanced screening systems at the airport checkpoints. This additional funding accelerated the deployment of advanced airport passenger screening system (mainly the full body scanners) in the US. As of today, there are more than 750 airport screening checkpoints and around 2,000 screening lanes across 450 airports in the US. It is estimated that more than 1,800 units of full body scanners are already deployed across the airports in the US alone.

On the other hand, in Europe, UK and Germany are two of the major markets. In 2009, the attempted terror attack on Northwest airlines flight prompted the UK government for further strict security measures. As a result, the government and airport authorities in UK increased the use of explosive trace detection system, and airport passenger security screening systems in the country. The UK airports introduced advanced full body scanners in some UK airports since 2010. On 2013, the UK government announced further deployment of full body scanners to other 11 airports as well. As a result, full body scanners are now rolled out at major airports in the UK (including Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham).
