Asia-Pacific Air Cargo Security and Screening Systems Market Opportunities by 2028

The APAC air cargo security and screening systems market is expected to grow from US$ 290.83 million in 2021 to US$ 453.11 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028.

The transportation of temperature-sensitive products, such as chemicals, drugs, and medicines, creates a massive demand for air cargo. For instance, almost 68% of all biotech products are considered to be temperature sensitive. In addition, in August 2019, Marken announced clinical home healthcare services that consist of clinical drug storage, biologic sample collection, direct-to-patient delivery, central pharmacy, and home care/nursing services. Pharmaceutical companies are highly dependent on-air transportation due to factors such as time sensitivity and temperature-controlled transportation. The rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry boosts the demand for transportation services for temperature-sensitive cargo. Also, the demand for these transportation services is increasing as new pharmaceutical and biotechnology products enter the market each day. Therefore, airlines using advanced cool chain solutions will be well-positioned to take full advantage of this growing demand. Airlines witness increasing demand for shipping services that cater to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, air cargo is required for supplying temperature-sensitive products to different places or countries. Along with the growing need for transportation, hidden explosive objects and narcotics have also been supplied. Therefore, a systematic screening system is needed at the airport. Also, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, automatic advanced air cargo security and screening systems demand will increase contributing to the APAC market growth.

In case of COVID-19, APAC is highly affected especially India. The developing countries do not have required health infrastructure and this was the main reason that led to the increase in the count of recorded cases in 2020. As per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the pandemic has affected significant economies such as India, Australia, and Japan to some extent. Due to inadequate health and medicine facilities, government authorities had to impose restrictions of limited workforce at production sites. The cargo delivered to various parts of the country includes COVID-19 related medical equipment, reagents, enzymes, masks, testing kits & PPE, gloves & other accessories. Further, the ministry of civil aviation in India has undertaken continuous efforts at the policy level and ground level to add substantially to the country’s fight against COVID-19. For instance, Air India and IAF (Indian Air Force) collaborated for supplying medical equipment across Ladakh, Imphal, Dimapur, Gangtok, Bagdogra, Guwahati, Chennai, and Port Blair. A dedicated medical air cargo-related website Lifeline Udan has been launched and is functional. As per the Association of APAC Airlines (AAPA), the air cargo sector is actively transporting much-needed medical equipment and supplies in Asian countries. Therefore, with the growing demand for air cargo for supplying medical equipment, the requirement for security and screening systems has also increased. Thus, the air cargo business in APAC has reflected positive market growth.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the APAC air cargo security and screening systems market. The APAC air cargo security and screening systems market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
