New Visiongain Report Explores Security Needs Worldwide
In a report released Tuesday, London-based
analysis firm Visiongain says that in 2011, the global expenditure
on airport passenger screening systems is calculated to be $10
billion, a figure which is forecast to rise as current airport
expansion plans continue.
The impetus for large-scale growth of the airport passenger
screening systems market remains buoyed by rapid expansion of
airport infrastructure to accommodate the projected substantial
growth in global air traffic. Evolving security needs post 9/11,
both within the leading U.S aviation security market and throughout
the world, will ensure long-term viability for the market of
airport passenger screening systems.
Large-scale expansion of existing airport capacity around the
world, as well as a high number of new airports throughout the
Middle East and Asia, are either planned or under construction to
accommodate the rapid rise in global air traffic, China and leading
airports in the Middle East, for example, are aggressively
expanding capacity. Similarly, India is seeking to increase its
commercial airports to create a system capable of handling up to
four times its current capacity
According to the report, security concerns have become an
essential part of airport and aviation operations. Aviation
security is evolving to a layered approach that incorporates a
range of technology. This model adjusts resources to evolving
threats while minimizing impacts to airline operations or aviation
economics.
The first line of defence in aviation security equipment is
airport passenger screening systems. The following systems and
technologies are being deployed for airport passenger
screening:
- Explosive Detection Systems (EDS)
- Explosive Trace Detection (ETD)
- Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT)
- Millimetre Wave Scanners
- Ion Mobility Spectrometers (IMS)
- Backscatter X-Ray Technology
The report indicates that considerable expansion in airport
capacity across the globe is a considerable driver for expenditure
on airport passenger screening systems. Other key drivers to the
airport passenger screening systems market are evolving regulation
and technologies; the emergence of low-cost carriers in the
developing aviation industries' of Asia Pacific and the Middle
East; and a collective effort to integrate technologies to provide
multi-layered security systems.
