Full body scanners are devices used as an effective solution for the detection of contraband, hidden weapons, explosives, and other substances, carried inside or outside the body. Modern full body scanners are image-free people security scanners that detect both metallic and non-metallic items, which cannot be done by a walk-through or hand-held metal detectors.

The global airport full body scanner market is driven by the increase in need for security and surveillance in national and international airports owing to rise in smuggling and terrorism activities. Further, full body scanners require less check time and hence they help reduce the waiting time of the passengers. On the contrary, concerns relating to health and privacy over the use of full body scanners for contraband detection is expected to restraint the growth of the global full body scanners market.

However, the FAA modernization and Reform Act, 2012 mandates the use of “automated target recognition” software, which replaces the naked body image by a mannequin of both genders. This removes the fear of privacy violation. Moreover, the scanners are based on Millimeter Wave Technology (MMW) comprising non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, which means it is safe for all the passengers, including pregnant women. Recently, the Indian Govt. has made it mandatory to have full body scanners in all airports; this decision may be followed by others. This is expected to offer new opportunities for market growth. Moreover, companies are investing highly on improving the robustness, size, and reliability of the full body scanners. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence in detection is expected to minimize false alarms. 

The global airport full body scanner market is segmented into airport type, technology, and region. On the basis of airport type, the market is divided into commercial airport, cargo service airport, reliever airport, and general aviation airport. By technology, the market is bifurcated into Millimeter Radio Wave (MMW) Scanner and Backscatter X-RAY Scanner. By region, the market analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA.
