The Backscatter X-Ray Devices Market size was estimated at USD 306.05 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 325.45 million in 2024, at a CAGR 6.42% to reach USD 473.19 million by 2030.

Backscatter X-ray devices are advanced imaging technologies used for security screening and inspection. The Backscatter X-ray devices market encompasses the development, manufacturing, and sales of X-ray imaging technology that utilizes backscatter radiation to create an image. These devices are used primarily for security screening and inspection purposes, detecting objects and substances concealed on or within objects by analyzing the radiation that bounces back from the target. The growth of illegal activities, the need for airport security scanning in public places, increased terrorism/ political conflicts, and the need for the deployment of security solutions in public are driving the market growth. Moreover, deployments of security scanning solutions at large commercial places fuel the market expansion. High initial costs, the need for specialized training for operators, and health and privacy concerns associated with backscatter X-ray body scanners can limit the market development. Integration of artificial intelligence with backscatter X-ray body scanners for automated threat detection and rising investments in the development of public transportation infrastructure are expected to create opportunities in the market.
