Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global airport passenger screening systems market to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% between 2017 and 2021. The recent increase in the air traffic across the globe has intensified the need for effective passenger and baggage screening systems to maintain operational efficiency and airport security. As passenger security screening remains a crucial aspect of airport operations, enhancement of the existing passenger screening processes can help in improving on-time performance and efficiency of an airport. In recent times, more focus is given to amending the passenger screening capabilities in the airport, both in the government and private industry. In July 2016, the TSA collaborated with the American Airlines to execute a joint initiative of incorporating new passenger and baggage screening technology, including computed tomography (CT) scanners and automated security screening lanes at some of the selected domestic and international airports in the US, where American Airlines face heavy passenger traffic.
Growing concerns over delays in passenger screening processes have propelled many airports to opt for screening services from private security providers. For instance, in April 2016, TSA, in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security, has come up with a contract to ISS Action, which is a US-based security solution provider, to provide security screening services at the Punta Gorda Airport in Florida, US. Moreover, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International (ACI) have started a joint program initiative, 'Smart Security,' to introduce further advanced screening technologies, risk-based security concepts, and process innovations.

Due to the presence of strong rivalry among the existing players to gain greater market shares in various emerging and established markets, the global airport passenger screening systems market is highly competitive. Vendors in the market are introducing technologically efficient products and services, keeping in mind the future air traffic demand and compatibility to meet future requirements as per the evolving security threats for explosives and non-metallic objects. Major OEMs like L-3 Communications and Smiths Detection, in collaboration with the regulatory agencies, are making investments to develop next-generation passenger screening systems that can help them set up long-term partnerships with airports and their regulatory authorities.
Leading vendors in the market are -
Other prominent vendors in the airport passenger screening systems market include American Science and Engineering, Analogic, AUTOCLEAR, and Optosecurity.
The advanced imaging systems or whole body imaging (WB) systems or full-body scanners will grow at a faster rate in the coming years. The ability of these systems to detect concealed items in a passenger has encouraged their use in several large airports globally. These advanced systems can spot non-metallic objects and explosives, which could not be otherwise possible for the security personnel to detect using the current hand-held or walk-through metal detectors. Several vendors are incorporating millimeter wave technology in these imaging systems as it can see through people’s clothing to identify hidden objects.
According to this market research report, APAC will lead the airport passenger screening systems market during the forecast period. The region is witnessing high investments in the rapid expansion of airport terminals and new airport construction projects. Furthermore, with the rapid growth in air traffic, several Asian countries have emerged as a lucrative market for automated airport passenger screening systems, which will be a key driving factor in the growth of the passenger screening systems market in the region.
