Frost Radar™: Security Screening and Detection Solutions, 2022
Growth in traveler numbers post-pandemic continues to pressure global ports of entry to manage threats and screen people and goods efficiently. The continued risk of cross-border terrorism and crime creates a demand for more stringent passenger screening, apart from detecting contraband smuggling into nations. Screening and detection are among the top 3 investment areas in infrastructure upgrade programs running at global ports of entry. As the industry recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for screening and detection solutions is expected to recover as a result of restarting halted projects and procurement programs over the next 5 to 10 years. As more screening system innovation moves away from traditional x-ray technology, the market will witness disruption by new entrants over the next 10 years. Every company competing in the security space must address these imperatives proactively; failing to do so will almost certainly lead to stagnation or decline. Successful companies overcome the challenges posed by these imperatives and leverage them to drive innovation and growth.
Security screening and detection is a niche market with intense competition between a limited number of players. However, the market is expected to witness disruption by start-up companies with innovative technology. The industry will converge as many start-up organizations may become targets for mergers and acquisitions. Legacy systems with very low efficiency and efficacy are driving ports to transform digitally to enhance the security of infrastructure and cargo. An increase in cargo traffic is driving the need for digitally-enhanced systems for quick and accurate security processing. Ports of entry worldwide are in the early stages of digital transformation. Advanced AI-based screening and detection solutions, terrorist attacks, civil disruptions leading to mass migration and human trafficking, and the smuggling of illicit goods will drive the adoption of more advanced non-intrusive portable screening and detection systems.
