The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart city security projects, increased public transport investments, adoption of non invasive screening, infrastructure digitization, expansion of correctional facilities. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of advanced millimeter wave scanners, integration of ai based threat detection, expansion of transport security infrastructure, growth of mobile and portable scanners, focus on privacy preserving imaging.

The rising airport traffic is expected to drive the growth of the body scanner market in the coming years. Airport traffic refers to the movement of aircraft, passengers, and cargo at an airport, encompassing takeoffs, landings, and the total number of passengers and goods transported. The increase in airport traffic is fueled by the expansion of low-cost airlines, which make air travel more affordable and accessible to a wider range of passengers. Body scanners support airport operations by accelerating security screening, improving the detection of potential threats, and reducing the need for manual searches, enabling smoother passenger flow and enhanced safety while minimizing delays and congestion. For example, in May 2024, the Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh, a UK-based government administration, reported 271.8 million passenger journeys through UK airports in 2023, up from 221.8 million in 2022. Consequently, the growth in airport traffic is propelling the body scanner market.

Key companies in the body scanner market are developing innovative solutions such as mobile body scanners to enhance screening efficiency. A mobile body scanner is a portable device capable of performing body scans in various locations outside traditional fixed facilities. These scanners can be applied in multiple contexts, including security, medical diagnostics, and emergency situations. For instance, in March 2023, LINE Systems U.K. Ltd., a UK-based security technology company, launched the CLEARPASS C.I., a mobile body scanner. This advanced device detects hidden contraband on or inside the body, features targeted area scanning to reduce both screening time and unnecessary exposure, and delivers high-quality X-ray imaging to effectively identify threats such as drugs, weapons, and other contraband, making it an essential tool for public safety.

In September 2023, Frankfurt Airport, a Germany-based international airport, partnered with Rohde & Schwarz to test the world’s first walk-through security scanner, the R&S QPS Walk2000. This partnership aims to modernize airport security by making security checks faster, more efficient, and passenger-friendly while maintaining high-security standards. Rohde & Schwarz is a Germany-based electronics company specializing in aviation security solutions, including millimeter wave security scanners.
