Global Airport Metal Detectors Market Share (%), By Region, 2023

A metal detector is an electronic device that detects the presence of metals. Metal detectors are useful for detecting hidden metal objects at airports, railway stations, bus stations, and other public and private places. Metal detectors are categorized into two types: hand-held metal detectors and walk-through metal detectors. Moreover, these metal detectors consist of components such as a sensor, which creates an electromagnetic wave, and a reflector, which acts as a wave reflector. When a metal comes into close contact with these detectors, the waves are blocked by metal objects, but the circuit remains open, causing an alarm to ring.

Market Dynamics:

Terrorist activities all over the world are increasing at a rapid pace, driving governments and airport security agencies to continuously upgrade their security infrastructure. For instance, in January 2020, according to a statement given by the United States Department of Defense, the U.S. killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a drone attack near Baghdad airport. After this incident, there is tension between two counties. This is why airports across the U.S. are on high alert. These factors are expected to drive the global airport metal detectors market over the forecast period. However, due to advancements in technology, the nature of attacks by terrorists is also changing. For instance, instead of pistols they prefer plastic explosives, which are not detected by metal detectors. This is expected to hamper growth of the market over the forecast period.
