The rapid technological transformation in security systems drives Market CAGR for Contraband detectors. One of the main causes anticipated to increase demand for contraband detectors is growing concerns about security devices due to rising extremist activity and rapidly expanding urbanization. Governments all over the world are investing substantially in cutting-edge contraband detection systems in response to an increase in extremist incidents that result in major loss of life and damage, which is expected to accelerate the growth of the contraband detector market. Additionally, the increasing requirement for governments worldwide to stop the drug trade presents a problem driving the market CAGR for contraband detectors.
Additionally, contraband detectors with X-ray imaging systems are utilized more frequently at transportation facilities because they effectively scan passengers and spot hidden devices or weapons. The International Air Transport Association estimates that air freight carried internationally will rise quickly in the projected years, from 57 million metric tons in 2016 to 62 million metric tons in 2019. The governments of various nations have also been forced to enhance their security measures due to rising drug trafficking instances by spending a sizable sum of money on creating and implementing security systems.
Many scheduled sports events, including the Tokyo Olympics, have been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted industries worldwide. There was a huge interruption in revenue creation, and the unexpected decline in audience engagement and attendance will affect revenue and viewing. The use of contraband detectors suffered in 2020 due to global lockdowns. Over the course of the year, purchases and adoption of contraband detectors become redundant due to the considerable decrease in travel and the protracted closure of public spaces. With repeated lifting and shutdowns, maintenance and operating costs of contraband detectors also increased dramatically during the lockdown period. Furthermore, more labor in the manufacturing sector would help the market's growth. However, post-pandemic lifting of lockdowns and industries began their operation, which allowed the market to expand further.
For instance, data based on ACI Data researched that there will be an increase in global air traffic by around 20 billion by 2030. Furthermore, the upgradation of airport infrastructure is projected to provide a market for growth in this sector, as per the study. The Airport Authority of India (AAI) decided to invest about INR 19,000 crores in the country's airport infrastructure for the next three years targeting small cities, providing significant growth potential for contraband detectors. Thus, driving the Contraband Detectors market revenue.
The Contraband Detectors Market segmentation, based on Screening type, includes People, Baggage & Cargo, and Vehicle. The baggage and cargo dominated the market, accounting for 68% of the market share in 2022, and will continue to dominate in the projected timeframe. Vehicle screening type will estimate to grow at the fastest CAGR during the estimated time.
The Contraband Detectors Market segmentation, based on Technology, includes  X-Ray, Metal Detection, Spectrometry & Spectroscopy. X-Ray Imaging technology dominates the market, accounting for 56% of the market share (USD 2.4 billion) in 2022. The demand for X-ray imaging has now increased in sectors like retail and transportation facilities as well as in governmental applications, which led this category to have a significant share in the market during projected timeframes.
