Terrorism continues to drive the global passenger screening market

November 4, 2016

Terrorism remains the single most influential driver sustaining the global passenger screening market, according to research from Reportbuyer. In assessing the global passenger screening market through 2021, the report explores automation, biometrics and mobile app solutions to transform air transportation security.

Efforts to increase both security and efficiency at airports have given birth to additional screening technologies and mechanisms such as automated passport control kiosks, automated border control (also known as eGates), and a mobile passport app developed through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency. 

The report reviews the global passenger screening market by identifying major participants (Smiths Detection, Morpho Detection, L-3 Communications, Rapiscan), key market drivers and restraints, and regional market forecasts from 2016 to 2021 using a base year of 2015.

The top five passenger screening market participants contributed over 80 percent of total market revenue in 2015.

Growth opportunities largely revolve around biometric technologies including new capabilities such as smartphone apps and unique identification innovations.
