The Airport Metal Detectors market is driven by various factors such as the increasing concern for security in airports, rising air passenger traffic, and government regulations mandating the use of metal detectors in airports. The adoption of advanced technologies such as 3D imaging, artificial intelligence, and machine learning is also driving the market growth. However, the high cost of these systems and the need for regular maintenance can hamper the growth of the market. The COVID-19 pandemic has also affected the market negatively due to the significant decrease in air travel. Nonetheless, the increasing focus on enhancing airport security measures and the development of portable and handheld metal detectors are expected to create new opportunities for the growth of the airport metal detectors market.
The Airport Metal Detectors Market was valued at US$ 2,567.12 Mn in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 4,601.78 Mn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% between 2022 and 2030.
