Explosive Detector Market Segment Analysis - By Type
Portable explosive detector has dominated
the Explosive Detector Market with a share of 65.2% in 2020 as compared to
Fixed explosive detector. In general, portable explosive detectors are handheld
or vehicle mounted detectors having automated calorimetric real time sensor technology.
These are helpful for inspection of both trace as well as bulk type detection.
With the recent upgrades in Portable explosive detectors, it makes it is easy
for the user to digitally inspect even for non-visible traces. It has
intelligent self-monitoring feature and are typically water resistant. Portable
explosive detectors generally consist of digital LCD/LED screen with LED
Indicator lights and provide long battery life with internal rechargeable
Li-Ion battery. Portable explosive detectors are used in detection of
explosives with Nitroaromatics, Nitrate Esters, Nitramines, Inorganic Nitrates,
Chlorates, Peroxides and Other contents. These are mainly used for applications
in Airports, Docks, Law enforcement, Bomb squads and other private security.
Explosive Detector Market Segment Analysis - By End Use Industry
Explosive Detectors are widely used for
different Military & Defense operations and account for 24.6% of the share
in 2020. Explosive Detectors plays a vital role in the line of Defense and
Security of countries as well as countrymen. With the ongoing Government
investments in Military & Defense sector of leading economies such as US,
Canada, India and China, the technology advancements in Military equipment has
been exponentially high. Research and Development has been a major concern for
Military & Defense sector. This has brought a major uplift in the demand of
Explosive Detectors which tend to enhance its market growth. According to World
Bank Reports, percent of general expenditure done by government on Military
& Defense sector was 6.38% in 2019 as is expected to show growth in
forecast period.
Explosive Detector Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
Asia-Pacific accounts for being the highest market share at 32.6%. The market growth in this region is predominantly high due to ongoing territorial disputes between neighboring countries such as India and China. According to World Bank Reports, Indian government invested $71.25 billion and China with a huge investment of $261.08 billion in 2019. Due to presence of maximum countries Asia-Pacific region, the security at territorial areas plays an important role.

Explosive Detector Market Drivers
Rise in investments done in Military & Defense sector drives market growth
With the increasing investments in Military and Defense sector especially in leading economies such as US, China and India, the manufacturing of military equipment has been very high which promotes ongoing technology developments. Developments in Military & Defense sector has been a prime focus of majority of leading economies. According to World Bank Reports, the overall Military Expenditure has been highest in US of about $731.75 billion, followed by China with $261.08 billion and India with $71.12 billion in 2019 and is expected to rise in forecast period due to ongoing territorial disputes between India and China. This increasing investment tends to drive the market growth of Explosive Detectors in global market.
Rise in demand of Explosive Detectors in Aviation industry
The demand of Explosive Detectors has been always high in Military & Defense sector, but nowadays, with the increasing terrorist attacks in many parts of the world, the economies are trying to increase their security at airports as it is the major hub of worldwide connectivity. According to International Air Transport Association (IATA), it is necessary to have regular inspections of explosives and other flammable substances at airports to increase the safety of passengers as well as countries. IATA introduced the inspection of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) into a security restricted area of an airport and onto an aircraft, by a person (passenger, crew staff) including the baggage (cabin baggage, hold baggage and other personal or professional baggage) which is considered as high risk in the ICAO Aviation Security Global Risk Context statement. IATA proposed urgent deployment of effective and sustainable explosive detection screening capabilities for all screening processes especially for these IEDs. These security guidelines increased the installation and application of Explosive Detectors in Aviation industry which tend to drive its market growth.
Explosive Detector Market Challenges
Inability to trace IEDs
One of the major
challenges faced by Explosive Detector Market globally is the inability to
trace Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). IEDs are
basically a homemade bomb, constructed from military or non-military components, that
is frequently employed by terrorists and people of wrong means to
imbalance the society. It acts as an effective weapon against a conventional
military force. When used as roadside bombs, IEDs can interdict lines of
communication, disrupt traffic and damage or destroy targeted vehicles.
Large-vehicle borne IEDs are one of the most dangerous IEDs. IEDs can be made
of many different kinds of objects and materials, including artillery or mortar rounds, aerial bombs, certain types of
fertilizers, TNT and other explosives. IEDs can also contain radiological, chemical or biological components to increase their lethal and
psychological effects. These makes it difficult for the Explosive Detectors to
determine the explosive content which brings a major challenge in the market
growth of Explosive Detectors in global level. However, with ongoing
developments, explosive detectors will be capable of tracing IEDs in future.
