The full body scanner market was valued at US$ 362.0 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 653.0 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2021 to 2028.
Analyst Perspective:
In the era of technological developments, researchers are looking to develop advanced full-body scanners. The professionals have made efforts to develop a machine that can scan a whole body from top to toe in a single shot. The scan will create a 3D image, helping doctors & medical professionals to diagnose disorders and generate new treatments faster. The technology used in this type of scanner produces "movies" that detect drugs as they move from the body. These scanners are predicted to have applications ranging from tracking disease progression to improving diagnostics. In February 2020, the authorities of Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport—India's busiest airport—declared the installation of 69 full-body scanners, which use millimeter wave technology that eradicates high-frequency radio waves. These scanners capture high-resolution 3D images of passengers, enabling the authorities to detect plastic weapons/explosives.
Market Overview:
A full-body scanner is a scanning system used for identifying and detecting concealed items carried by a person. A full-body scanner is either based on X-ray or millimeter wave scanner technology and can detect items attached to the body or ingested by the person. The software used in the full-body scanner machine is designed to showcase a cartoon-like black-and-white image of the output and can be in 2D and 3D image format. The modern full-body scanner is powered by advanced software to automatically identify and detect concealed items.
The full body scanner market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing government budgets for national security year on year. Many countries across Asia and Europe are spending on procuring advanced security & scanning systems, including full body scanners. The Customs Department in India has decided to install full-body scanners at ten international airports to check smuggling of foreign currency, narcotics and gold. A total of 30 X-ray-based full-body scanner machine systems, three each, will be installed at the airports in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Calicut, Cochin, Hyderabad, Tiruchirappalli and Thiruvananthapuram These scanners will aid significantly in the Customs fight against the smuggler. Such full-body scanner installation propels the adoption of the full-body scanner market for security concerns in the Asia Pacific region.

Market Driver:
Rising Concern Rising Concern Due To Increased Terrorism Incidents Drive Growth of Full Body Scanner Market
The rising concern due to increased terrorism incidents is helping to accelerate the growth of the full-body scanner market. Full body scanner machines are used at airports for security checks to detect weapons, explosives, and other prohibited items hidden on a person's body. Full body scanners also detect objects swallowed or hidden in body cavities. Full body scanners can detect a wider range of threats than metal detectors, including non-metallic objects and objects that have been swallowed or hidden in the body. In March 2023, Pune International Airport implemented the full body scanner system to make security checks quicker. Pune was among the country's first airports where trials were conducted in 2019. The security checks are done faster after implementing the airport's full body scanner machine system. The machines provide an x-ray-like image of the person standing before it.

Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific full body scanner market was valued at US$ 79.5 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 165.9 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period. In the Asia Pacific region, due to security concerns, various airport authorities are using the full body scanner system at the airport terminals. Full-body scanners can detect various weapons and explosives, including guns, knives, bombs, and ammunition. A full body scanner helps to prevent these items from being carried onto airplanes. In Asia Pacific, various airport authorities use the full body scanner for security checks. In March 2021, The New Delhi Airports Authority of India (AAI) plans to procure 198 full-body scanners for its airports nationwide. The airport authority has given a tender to the Chinese company Nuctech. The full-body scanners will replace walk-through and hand-held metal detectors, which can't detect non-metallic weapons and explosives.
Additionally, in February 2020, Cochin International Airport Ltd deployed full-body X-ray passenger scanners at its departure counter. The move is in line with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security BCAS) the decision to install scanners in airports to accelerate the passenger clearance process and end manual frisking without compromising the security checking process. Furthermore, in October 2019, the Pune Airport installed a new body scanner system at the pre-embarkation security check area. The scanner uses millimeter wave radio frequency technology to automatically detect potentially prohibited items concealed under clothing or on the body. When a potential threat is detected, the object's location is marked on a neutral graphic outline of a human body. For protect the privacy of the passengers, the scanner does not produce any image of the person being screened. The AAI plans to install around 200 body scanners across India, strengthening security and reducing the time required for security screening
Furthermore, in January 2022, Perth Airport is modernizing its passenger screening infrastructure across all terminals with the help of new security screening equipment. This trend aligns with the Federal Government's directive to strengthen Australia's domestic and international aviation security. The new full-body scanner equipment is expected to improve the efficiency of the airport's screening procedure and detection levels. The new body scanners can quickly and accurately detect metal and non-metal foreign matter within millimeters of the skin. The new CT-x-ray machine uses 3D technology to spot suspicious items in passengers' carry-on bags. The full body scanner will help further improve air travel security in Australia. The security scanner in the Australian airport is deployed at terminals T2, T3 and T4. Such a type of deployment in the airport is propelling the adoption of the full-body scanner market for security purposes.
In Asia Pacific, various airport authorities are launching the millimeter wave technology full body scanner for airport security checks. For instance, in July 2022, according to China’s civil aviation authorities, China officially introduced a human imaging device with millimeter wave technology into its airports' security checks. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) issued its latest official technical standards and testing program for the millimeter wave human-imaging technology used for airport security checks. The millimeter wave technology full-body scanners will gradually replace current metal detectors, which have been in Chinese airports for 26 years. The technology is harmless to the human body but still has a strong imaging capacity. It can detect hidden objects found on a person, even non-metallic ones, no matter the size or location. Such product launches also drive the adoption of the multimeter full body scanner market technology in the Asia Pacific.
The full body scanner helps to scan the patient's body. In March 2021, the US$ 15 million project in Sydney was established to deploy full-body scanners. The Sydney-led project aims to bring unique imaging capabilities to Australia while revolutionizing patient care through a joint venture with the North Sydney Regional Health District to procure a full-body PET/CT scanner. Such a deployment type also propels the full-body scanner adoption in the Asia Pacific market.
