Airport Metal Detectors Market Analysis

A metal detector is an electronic device, which detects the presence of metals. Metal detectors are useful for detecting hidden metal objects at airports, railway stations, bus stations, and other public and private places. Metal detectors are categorized into two types such as hand held metal detector and walk-through metal detectors. Moreover, these metal detector consists of components such as sensor creates an electromagnetic wave and reflector, which acts as wave reflector. When a metal comes in close contact with these detectors, the waves are blocked by metals objects and circuit remains open causing an alarm to ring.

Market Dynamics

Terrorist activities all over the world are increasing at a rapid pace driving governments and airport security agencies to upgrade their security infrastructure continuously. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, in 2018, around 4,320 number of guns were detected at airports in the U.S. This number is expected to increase over the forecast period.

Conflict between two countries force security agencies to implement additional security measures at airports and major public places. For instance, in January 2020, according to a Statement given by United States Department of Defense, the U.S. killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in drone attack near Baghdad airport. After this incident, there is tension between two counties. This is why airports across all the U.S. are on high alert. These factors are expected to drive the global metal detectors market over the forecast period.

However, due to advancement in technology, the nature of attacks by terrorists is also changing. For instance, instead of pistol they prefer plastic explosives, which are not detected by metal detectors. This is expected to hamper growth of the market over the forecast period.
