The ongoing spread of COVID-19 has become one of the biggest threats to the global economy and is causing widespread concerns and economic hardship for consumers, businesses, and communities across the globe. The “new normal” that includes social distancing and working from home has created challenges with daily activities, regular work, needs, and supplies, causing delayed initiatives and missed opportunities.
The COVID-19 pandemic hasimpacted the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak has grown day-by-day that affects the supply chain. This has createduncertainty in the stock market;decreasedbusiness confidence, slowedsupply chain, and increasedpanic among customers. European countries under lockdown have suffered a major loss of business and revenue due to shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. Operations of production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19, which led to decreasein growth of the Japan urban security screening market in 2020.
According to the Japan urban security screening market trends, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global manufacturing and industrial sectors as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn,led to significant demand in industries.
Emergence of COVID-19 has declined Japan urban security screening market growth in 2020, and is estimated to witness slow growth till the end of 2021. Implementation of partial or complete lockdown across various countries globally is the prime reason for decline in growth rate of the market. As industries were temporarily shut, it reduced the need for maintenance from various industries.
The significant factors that impact the Japan urban security screening market include government mandates in the Japan for security screening, increase in adoption of security screening in government buildings, and increased terrorism activities. However, high installation & maintenance cost associated with the urban security screenings systems is projected to hamper the growth of the market. On the contrary, new product development trend in Japan urban security screening market is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the Japan urban security screening market forecast.
Government of Japan is significantly introducing policies and regulations associates with the security screening to strengthen its measures against terrorism and hijacking. For instance, in March 2021, the tourism ministry of Japan announced to require airline passengers to undergo security checks before boarding. In addition, the government intends to revise its Civil Aeronautics Law to elucidate legal position of such checks.
The government Japan is expected to formulate a basic policy on air security and establish a system to guide and advise airlines and other organizations, to reinforce their measures against hijacking and terrorism. Such government mandates for the security screening are boosting growth of the Japan urban security screening market.
The installation, manufacture, and maintenance cost of urban security screening equipment is high due to complex design and high. For instance, in October 2020, Smiths Detection Inc. one of the global leaders in threat detection and security screening technologies, received a $90.8M contract to manufacture Joint Chemical Agent Detector Adapter. Hence, need for such high costs associated with security screening products may hamper growth of the market.
