Report Description

The global security screening market size was valued at USD 7.97 billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 13.81 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.3% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the technological advancements in integrated screening systems and rising concern for security threats in public or government buildings and institutions.

Security screening is a process of scanning of individuals and their belongings such as containers, bag packages, and vehicles to detect the presence of unwanted or dangerous items that can amount to security threat to public.

Using several types of screening devices, this process is generally carried out at various high-security locations especially at the time of entry and exit. Some of the key equipment used for security scanning include full body X-ray scanners, electromagnetic metal detectors, explosive trace detectors, and biometric technology.

Advancement in technology helps in developing easy availability of integrated screening systems, which allows various vendors to integrate scanning products and traditional screening system. Factors such as rising adoption of screening devices at public places for large-scale security surveillance in public places and institutions present a key aspect for the market growth.

However, rising concerns regarding side-effects of using full body scanning and high competitive pressure on manufacturers are some major challenges for the security screening market. As terror threats are rising significantly that can attack and destroy public infrastructure, security screening plays a critical role to prevent that from happening.

The development of explosive trace detection (ETD) systems and its wide adoption in various sectors such as airports, government organizations, railways, hotels, and border checkpoints aim to ease and reduce security risks. Governments around the world have implemented strict rules and regulations to increase the installation of high-tech screening systems to avoid any unwanted incidents.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Rising concerns for public safety and strict government regulations to support installation of screening devices are key drivers for the market growth.
Increasing incidence of security threats and growing targets of public places such as malls as well as government institutions from terror attacks are some key factors boosting the demand for the security screening devices.
High installation cost and fear of privacy interruption are other major challenges, which are expected to retrain the market growth.
Increasing adoption of the screening devices in several private sectors including commercial hotels and educational institutions using biometric systems are expected to fuel the market growth.
Spending huge amount on new security equipment and improving their security measures from governments across the globe act as key drivers for the market expansion during the forecast period.
