What Is The Driver Of The Baggage Scanner Market?

The growing number of terrorist attacks or terrorism is expected to propel the growth of the baggage scanner market going forward. Terrorism is defined as the use of violence, intimidation, or coercion for political, religious, or ideological purposes. Terrorism rates are on the rise owing to several factors, such as political instability, economic disparities, ideological extremism, foreign interventions, media influence, ethnic tensions, technological advancements, and weapons proliferation. Baggage scanners are used to fight against terrorism by providing advanced technology for threat detection, enhancing security measures at various checkpoints, and contributing to overall public safety efforts worldwide. For instance, in March 2023, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2023, published by the Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australia-based research and education think tank, terrorist attacks became more lethal in 2023, averaging 1.7 fatalities per incident, up from 1.3 deaths per attack in 2021. Therefore, the growing number of terrorist attacks or terrorism is driving the baggage scanner industry.
