Handheld Chemical and Metal Detector Market size was valued at over USD 4 billion in 2023 and is estimated to register a CAGR of over 14% between 2024 and 2032. The market encompasses the industry involved in producing, selling, and deploying portable devices designed for identifying specific chemicals and metals, primarily used in security applications.
The expanding travel & tourism industry is significantly boosting the market. The growing volume of passengers frequenting airports, public transportation hubs, and tourism destinations necessitates heightened security measures. The industry's dedication to guaranteeing the security of travelers and infrastructure is in line with the portability and screening efficiency provided by handheld detectors. As a result, there is a need for sophisticated detection technologies to preserve safe spaces in the ever-changing travel & tourism industry. For instance, in November 2021, Bruker launched a new RoadRunner Explosives Trace Detector (ETD) for airport passenger and baggage security screening. Presently, the only handheld ETD instrument to meet the protocol set by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC)1, the RoadRunner offers fast & accurate screening capabilities in an easy-to-use, handheld design.
Advancements in detection technology propel the handheld chemical and metal detector market by fostering innovations in sensors, materials, and signal processing. Continuous improvements enhance detection accuracy, sensitivity, and the overall performance, fueling adoption across diverse industries seeking state-of-the-art security solutions.
