Global Air Cargo Screening Systems Market

Description

There has been a significant development in the air cargo screening systems in the past years. Security checks for the air cargo were carried out physically in the past, wherein the canine method was used. However, due to multiple increases in air traffic lately, security threats have soared significantly. The 9/11 incident shook up the aviation industry. Since then, improved security measures are being taken for greater safety and efficient security. Due to risen threats aviation security system is alert and each and every cargo screening is mandatory.Adoption of new screening techniques and technologies that are more effective has expanded. Advanced air cargo screening systems in recent times provide enhanced threat detection capabilities.

Market Dynamics

The modern screening methods and technologies are more proficientand capable in screening large volumes of cargo. This has provided huge boost in terms of demand and growth of air cargo screening market.From past few years demand for air cargo screening equipment in manufacturing sectors, automobile sectors, defence sectors etc. has increased tremendously. As new technology like x-ray is used for tracing explosives and narcotics, air cargo security screening and aviation checkpoint solutions applications is ought to experience a faster growth. However, expensive screening systems and bulk screening while operating restrain the growth of the market.

Market Segmentation

The market is segmented in terms of technology, applications, size of screening systems and region. On the basis of technology the market is segmented into narcotics trade detectors, non-composed tomography, and explosive detection system. On the basis of applications the market is segmented into narcotics detection, explosive detection and metal and contraband detection. Based on screening systems it is segmented as small cargo, break pallet cargo and oversized cargo.

Geographic analysis

Asia pacific is theleading market and is expected to grow more in near future. It accounts for more than 25% share in the global market followed by Europe and North America. This is mainly due to new screening technologies and human presence detector system for more robust security in airports.Also rise in cargo traffic and emerging economies in countries like India, China and Indonesia aid to the growth in the region. Africa is also seen as potential region which is anticipated to grow in upcoming future.
