US X-Ray Explosives Detection Technologies & Markets - 2010-2014

The predicted death of the X-ray explosives screening market appears to have been pre-mature.

In its report, Homeland Security Research Corporation forecasts that the market for modern X-Ray systems, upgrades and post warranty service will grow from $370 Million in 2008 to $735 in 2014 at a CAGR of over 12%.

In this report, HSRC:

1. Discusses the economic factors impacting seven sub-markets:

  • Air cargo on scheduled passengers flights screening
  • Airport-cabin baggage screening
  • Secured facilities screening
  • Postal items screening
  • Supply chain cargo screening
  • 1st responders bomb search
  • Other x-ray explosives screening markets

2. Identifies the drivers propelling this growth, including:

  • White House-mandated deployment of state-of-the-art X-ray systems at airports;
  • $1.05 billion earmarked in the “2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” for the purchase and installation of explosives detection technologies over the next 3 years;
  • $1.57 billion of the TSA’s $8.03 billion FY2010 budget is intended for the purchase and installation of explosives detection systems (i.e., ETD, EDS, X-Ray systems);
  • Failure to develop new, competitive modalities;

3. Analyzes the market dynamics ,opportunities and competitive environment

  • Seven end-customer sub-markets
  • Systems markets and post warranty system upgrade & service markets
  • Present and future technologies (e. g., Multi-Pixel X-Ray sources, Fused modalities Multi- Thread systems , Dual-Energy X-Ray ,, coherent scatter X-Ray, Backscatter X-Ray, Variable view X-Ray)
  • Business Opportunities by Threats & Vulnerabilities – (e.g., Fused technologies systems, Multi-Threat systems)
  • Market Drivers & Inhibitors
