Driven by the Obama administration' s “American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009” and by congressional pressure to attain - at long last -
100% screening of cargo on scheduled passengers flight, the US Explosives
Detection Systems (EDS) market, which experienced a significant decline and
stagnation during the 2004-2008 period, is poised to experience a double-digit
CAGR over the 2010-2014 period.
The new report analyzes the market through several aspects:
Equipment Market
Refurbishing and Upgrade Market
EDS Baggage handling System
EDS Installation and Replacement Market
By Market Sector
Checked-luggage screening
Air Cargo screening
Hand-Held baggage screening
The report presents business opportunities, as well as pipeline EDS products
and technologies that should address future requirement of the TSA.
