The body scanner market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The scale of the body scanner market has experienced swift expansion in the last few years. The market's size is projected to rise from $2.47 $ billion in 2024 to $2.75 $ billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%.
This growth during the historic period can be credited to factors such as elevated airport traffic, growing security worries, an increase in investment towards security infrastructure, the increasing application of body scanners to circumvent strip searches and intrusive pat-downs, as well as government safety regulations.
The body scanner market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for body scanners is predicted to witness a swift expansion in the coming years, reaching $4.23 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%.
The forecasted increase during this period is anticipated due to the expansion of the transportation sector, the surge in worldwide travel, amplified usage in events and locations, the increased application in the medical field, and the advent of smart city initiatives. The forecast period also reveals significant trends such as technological progress, security at public venues, the potential for AI integration, improved scanning efficiency, and emerging market penetration.
The surge in airport activity is predicted to fuel the body scanner market's expansion. Airport activity encompasses the movement of planes, people, and freight at an airport, including departures, arrivals, and the quantity of passengers and cargo transported. The growth in airport activity can be attributed to the proliferation of budget airlines, which have made flying more affordable and accessible to a wider range of passengers. Body scanners contribute to airport traffic management by expediting the security screening process, improving threat detection capabilities, and minimizing the requirement for manual checks. This facilitates smoother passenger movement and elevates safety measures, eventually minimizing delays and overcrowding at airports. For example, Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh, a UK government body, reported in May 2024 that the number of passenger journeys through UK airports in 2023 rose to 271.8 million, up from 221.8 million in 2022. Consequently, the escalating airport activity is propelling the body scanner market.

Leading businesses in the body scanner market are striving to create unique products like mobile body scanners to enhance their scanning abilities. These portable scanners, unlike conventional stationary ones, can conduct body scans at diverse places. They are versatile, useful in medical diagnosis, security, and emergency scenarios. For instance, LINE Systems U.K. Ltd., a UK-based firm specializing in security technology, launched the CLEARPASS C.I., a mobile body scanner, in March 2023. This revolutionary scanner is capable of detecting concealed contraband either on or within the body. With its focused area screening, it minimizes the scan time and unnecessary exposure. It provides excellent X-ray images and efficiently locates threats like drugs, weapons, and other contraband, hence proving to be a crucial product in maintaining public security.
