Airport Full Body Scanner Market Insights

The airport full body scanner market is projected to grow to USD 118.27 million by 2021, at a CAGR of 8.40% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing terror attacks at airports and also the increasing investments in R&D for enhanced full body scanners.

The full body scanner market has been segmented based on airport type, technology, and region. Based on technology, the market has been segmented into millimeter-wave systems and backscatter systems. The millimeter-wave systems segment is projected to lead to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. This growth is mainly attributed to the wide installation of these systems in place of backscatter systems. Backscatter systems have the drawback of emitting low-energy X-rays that bounce off a passenger's body which increase the possibility of cancer, and other skin diseases in the human body.

Based on region, the full body scanner market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America is projected to lead the full body scanner market during the forecast period. The full body scanner market in Europe and Asia-Pacific is expected to witness high growth, owing to the regulatory mandates for the installation of full body scanners in Europe and the increase in terrorist activities in the Asia-Pacific.

Many-a-times, it was found that the machine could not detect explosives carried by a terrorist and he was able to pass through a Rapiscan�s X-ray Backscatter scanner. This has been the major weakness of the scanner. Due to this, the company may lose its contract with airport authorities. Many researches has been carried out by the scientists about the ineffectiveness of these scanners. Companies who are into manufacturing of airport full body scanners are investing huge amount of money into R&D so that they are able to solve this problem of the machines. They have to make products that are able to detect explosives that are kept under the cavity or are carried inside a human body.

Regional market analysis

The North American region is the largest market for airport full body scanner. The region has been a pioneer in adapting new technologies and has been one of the lucrative markets for technological investments. It is also the fastest-growing market, due to the high risk of security threats and criminal activities. The Europe and Asia Pacific held considerable share in the airport full body scanner market in 2016. Middle East, latin America and Africa are the key regions considered under the Rest of the World (RoW).

Leading full body scanner manufacturers are developing harmless and innovative equipment to drive the industry forward

Companies such as Smith Group Plc (U.K.), L-3 Technologies Inc (U.S.), Rapiscan Systems (U.S), American Scienice & engineering Group, Tek84 among others, are develop airport full body scanner. Worldwide adoption of airport full body scanner to prevent terror attack and drug trafficking shows the importance of these scanners. For instance, in 2016, Rapiscan systems(U.S.) developed MP100 backpack radiation detections systems, lightweight, high-performance solution that can detect radiological and nuclear materials and is housed within a compact commercial backpack.

Airport Full body Scanner

Backscatter Wave Systems

Backscatter full body scanners use low-intensity X-rays to scan passengers. The waves are bounced back or backscattered and captured by the detectors are placed on the same side of the full body scanner to create images of the subject within a few seconds. Backscatter systems use narrow X-ray beams to scan subjects at high speed. X-rays are relatively low energy and can penetrate through the clothing of the subject. As majority of these waves bounce off the skin surface, they are only useful for imaging objects hidden under the clothing or taped to the skin of the subject. They cannot detect objects hidden inside the body. Backscatter systems make use of these bounced off rays to identify dangerous objects.

The amount of radiation to which a person is exposed is insignificant to cause any health risk. A typical backscatter scan consists of two images, front and back. Backscatter full body scanners are growing at a moderate pace, as airports such as John F. Kennedy International Airport (U.S.), Boise Airport (U.S.) and Boston Logan International Airport (U.S.) are using them for screening processes.

Millimeter wave Systems

Millimeter waves refer to an electromagnetic spectrum that lies between radio waves and infrared waves. Millimeter wave systems project low-level radio frequency energy around the body of the subject to detect objects concealed under the clothing. Exposure to millimeter waves is harmless. These waves are then sent back to a transceiver from where they are further sent to a high-speed computer. This high-speed computer reconstructs the signals to create final 3D holographic images.

Airport full body scanners based on millimeter wave systems are efficient and convenient to use as they require only a single stationary position and can scan faster than other scanners. The data received is then processed by internal software without any human intervention. These scanners address privacy concerns and do not pose any health risk, and are therefore being deployed at most airports. L3 Technologies (U.S.) and Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co KG (Germany), among others, are developing enhanced airport full body scanners based
