Description

Explosive trace detector devices and systems detect and identify trace amounts of explosives, illicit substances, and narcotics in airports and transportation, critical infrastructure, and government facilities.

Revenue reached $6 billion globally in 2022 and is expected to grow significantly because of increasing security concerns, regulatory requirements, terrorist activities, defense expenditure, and demand for enhanced safety measures in critical national infrastructure.

Airports are the main customers because of stringent aviation security measures, stricter regulatory frameworks, and an ever- expanding global network. Prisons and border crossings follow.

The market is fragmented, with multiple multinational and local players offering a variety of products. Desktop-based detectors are expected to be the fastest-growing product type because of their portability and ease of use.

The future of the market will be shaped by emerging technologies such as next-generation mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence that will enhance detection accuracy while reducing operational expenses.
