Market Overview
The global contraband detectors market is estimated to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.83% during the forecast period of 2021–2027. The market has a substantial growth potential owing to numerous factors, including increasing adoption of x-ray screening machines in the travel &transportation sector and growing adoption of contraband detectors in retail places primarily due to rising security concerns in public places including malls, and commercial establishments, among others.
Increasing incidents by extremist elements that can potentially lead to substantial risk to life and property have boosted the adoption of these machines over the past two decades. Security checks and drills at malls, airports, train stations, and other large venues such as stadiums and hotels have become part of the standard procedure to access these places. A marked increase in the trade of illegal narcotics and drugs over the past few years has further driven the Contraband Detectors Market growth.
However, the significant initial investment and higher maintenance and operational costs associated with large security systems are among the key factors restricting the growth of the contraband detector market. Contraband detector systems are increasingly used to enforce security and safety standards at public places, transit facilities, government organizations, commercial buildings, banks, critical infrastructure such as hospitals and educational institutions; however, they come at a high cost of ownership.
Many of these places require costly explosive detectors, for which the operational cost is equally high. For example, full-body X-ray scanners require a huge initial investment. Additionally, the maintenance cost of numerous explosive detectors is comparatively higher than other technologies. All these factors could result in a reluctance to deploy security measures at facilities. This is likely to impact the contraband detector market negatively in the coming years.
