The increasing government focus on enforcing safety and security protocols is projecting the growth of the market. The governments around the globe are launching plans for the modernization of out-dated equipment and the construction of new transit locations. For instance, the construction of the Beijing Daxing Airport is currently underway and is expected to serve over 100 million travellers annually. Such a location poses massive potential for the occurrence of terrorist activities and will require the need of advanced technologies displaced at prime points such as passport and baggage controls entry-ways.
 

The applications in the industry has high advantages over traditional security processes as they can aid in eliminating the inconvenience and inefficiency of manual, body-cavity and baggage searches and streamline the traveller screening process. The high initial costs associated with replacing existing systems, primarily full-body and vehicle scanners, is challenging the growth of the x-ray security screening system market. However, the benefits of utilizing these systems outweigh the cost drawbacks in the long-term. Additionally, the equipment also possesses a radiation risk for the occurrence of tissue damage and may pose a threat to the industry.
 

Market Segmentation, Outlook & Regional Insights: X-Ray Security Screening System Market

 X-Ray Security Screening System Market, By End-use

Rising occurrences of terroristic activities, with a high emphasis on countries amidst political and religious turmoil, is promoting the growth of the x-ray security screening system market. This is attributed to the rise in government initiatives to protect the general population by installing theses equipment in high-risk locations.
