Market Challenges And Opportunities

Factors driving the growth of the global X-ray security scanner market

Expansion of airport infrastructure and the increasing threat of terror attacks are the major factors driving the growth of X-ray security scanner market. Critical infrastructure is the primary target for terror attacks and therefore require protection from internal and external threats. Illicit and illegal activities as well as threat of terror attacks is increasing owing to weak security systems at airports, seaports, railway stations, and hotels. Body-scanning as well as scanning of products is necessary to prevent terror attacks and other illicit activities in public places such as airports, railways, and hotels. For instance, in March 2016, 30 people were killed in terror attacks at the departure hall of Brussels Zaventem International Airport and the Maelbeek metro station. Istanbul Ataturk Airport's parking as well as the entrance of international arrival terminal was also attacked by terrorists and 41 people were killed.
