Increase in passenger traffic is notably driving market growth. The heightened security concerns at airports, ports, and border control points due to the increasing threat of Large-vehicle borne IEDs, aerial bombs, and other explosive devices have led to the adoption of advanced Explosive Detection Equipment (EDE). These devices are essential for scanning personnel and baggage for TNT, fertilizers, radiological components, chemical components, and biological components.
Moreover, with the growing number of air passengers, there is a pressing need for efficient and rapid scanning technologies. Advanced machinery, such as Spaser and those utilizing Graphene, play a crucial role in ensuring security while accommodating cyclic fluctuations in passenger inflow during peak seasons. OSI Systems, a leading provider of EDE, offers innovative solutions to meet the evolving security needs of transportation infrastructure. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Emergence of laser spectroscopy detection technology is the key trend in the market. The Market encompasses technologies designed for identifying and locating Large-vehicle borne IEDs, aerial bombs, and other explosive devices. One such advanced technology is laser spectroscopy detection, developed by Laser Detect Systems (LDS), Israel.
Moreover, this non-invasive technology utilizes a laser beam to analyze the spectral signature of targets, enabling standoff and trace detection of materials such as TNT, fertilizers, radiological components, chemical components, and biological components without the need for sampling. The technology's effectiveness lies in its ability to correlate the spectral data with a known substance database. It is portable and adaptable for integration into static, mobile, and handheld detectors. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Confidence breach due to the sale of counterfeit products is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. The global market for explosive detection equipment has faced significant scrutiny due to past incidents involving the sale of counterfeit devices to defense agencies. In some instances, these falsified detectors led to devastating consequences, such as terror attacks in the Middle East and APAC regions, resulting in the loss of numerous lives and extensive property damage.
Moreover, one notable example is the deployment of non-functional fake bomb detectors, ADE 651, manufactured by ATSC in the UK. This incident led to the tragic death of over 165 innocent civilians in the July 2013 Baghdad bomb attack. To address these concerns, advanced technologies like Large-vehicle borne Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) detectors, Spaser, and Graphene-based sensors are being developed and adopted. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
