Airport Cabin Baggage Scanner Market Analysis

Airport Cabin Baggage Scanner Market Analysis

The hardware segment in the U.S. airport cabin baggage scanner market will register around 5% growth rate during the forecast timeframe, due to the rising importance of reducing entry & exit processing time at airport security checkpoints. Airport cabin baggage scanner hardware aids in meeting security standards, resulting in major operational benefits such as increased security, elimination of random trace detector searches, simplified passenger experience, and increased staff productivity.
 

Currently, the federal government along with the airport authorities are developing strategic projects to upgrade the existing airport infrastructure & hardware to offer better services to air passengers and avoid long passenger queues at airports. For instance, in May 2021, Raytheon Intelligence & Space increased the installation of checked baggage screening technologies in all federally regulated airports in the U.S. as a part of the five-year USD 318 million agreement with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
 

Demand for airport cabin baggage scanners with 3D (Computed Tomography) technology in Germany will grow at 7% CAGR through 2028, as they enhance operational efficiency and security management. The aviation industry is witnessing a high adoption of advanced scanning technologies that comply with the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) mandates to ensure the effective detection of prohibited products. Many airports in the Germany such as Munich and Frankfurt airports are focusing on adopting 3D CT based cabin baggage scanners for advanced detection of weapons, explosives, and drugs among others.
 

The Asia Pacific airport cabin baggage scanner market accounted for 20% of the global revenue share in 2021, attributed to high investments in infrastructure upgrades. Airport administrations are emphasizing on enhancing security standards & facility efficiency by implementing cutting-edge technologies such as automated lanes and biometrics.
 

For instance, in February 2021, Changi Airport Group of Singapore partnered with Genetec, Inc., a technology provider of operations & business and intelligence solutions, to enhance & upgrade its security system. This encouraged market players to create innovative airport cabin baggage scanner systems that provide comprehensive luggage content assessments in real-time without interrupting the entire checkpoint operation.
 

The global aviation industry is witnessing a surge in demand for commercial aviation airport cabin baggage scanners due to increasing air travel & passenger volume. For instance, in February 2022, the Dubai International Airport accounted for approximately 29.1 million passengers in 2021, a 12.7% jump from 2020 following lockdown relaxations. These factors have encouraged the aviation industry to deploy advanced airport cabin baggage scanners that provide real-time & advanced analysis of hazardous objects and unidentifiable bags.
 

Market players design airport cabin baggage scanners that can analyze various pictures per second and detect prohibited items in colored x-ray images, 2D black-and-white x-ray images, and 3D CT scan images. The market will witness significant growth in future as airport cabin baggage scanner manufacturers, such as Smiths Group PLC, Leidos, and Rapiscan Systems, offers advanced explosion detection systems with high resolution imaging & throughput.
