Airport Security Market Growth & Trends

The global airport security market size is expected to reach USD 12.70 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. National security is of vital importance at critical infrastructures such as airports. In recent years, the policy and aim of many authorities has shifted from potential threat identification to deploying measures that prevent infiltration of any type of threats into the infrastructure. Demand for quicker and efficient screening has culminated in the design and development of advanced screening systems that are being employed worldwide.

The rapid pace of new construction activity at airports and need to streamline security screening process in order to minimize waiting time for passengers also serve as key drivers for market growth. However, economic turmoil and lack of funds for public spending new development and construction, as well upgrade of existing airports. In addition, effectiveness of existing security equipment in combating threats and lack of a tangible return on investment has discouraged operators from purchasing new technology solutions. Existing retrofits and shift towards automated security solutions as an alternative to human labor is expected to provide market growth opportunity over the coming years

International and domestic legislations have fueled the procurement of security technologies. Organizations such as the TSA and European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) establish security standards and oversee their adherence. Airports are subjected to numerous threats including robbery, arson, cyber-crime, terrorism, and vandalism. Terrorist attacks are the most critical threat in public view; therefore, technologies enabling security are of prime importance for ensuring public safety.
