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 technologies. This model adjusts resources to evolving threats while minimising impacts to airline operations or aviation economics.
Impetus for large-scale growth of the airport passenger screening systems market remains buoyed by rapid expansion of airport infrastructure to accommodate substantial projected growth in global air traffic.
This is according to a new report from industry analyst Visiongain - The Airport Passenger Screening Systems Market 2013-2023: Technologies for Aviation Security - which forecasts that global spending on airport passenger screening systems in 2013 will reach $963m.
The report examines the scope of growth for airport passenger screening systems given the soaring demand for air travel, rapid emergence of low-cost carriers, the changing demographics of the world population, developing infrastructure, emerging economies and rising GDPs.
In emerging and mature markets, upgrades and expansion of airports to accommodate soaring demand for air travel will provide new sources of demand for aviation security.
In Asia Pacific and the Middle East, ambitious construction plans for new international and domestic airports will provide a wealth of new opportunities for airport passenger screening system manufacturers in these vibrant new commercial aviation hubs.
