India and South-East Asia Airport X-Ray Security Screening Market Share and Forecast by 2028

The India & South-East Asia airport x-ray security screening market is expected to grow from US$ 291.8 million in 2021 to US$ 410.3 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2021 to 2028.

The international tourism industry is growing at an exponential rate. According to Indian government, the total number of foreign tourist arrivals in India in 2020 was 2.74 million. According to the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB), the total number of foreign tourist arrivals in Malaysia in 2020 was 4.3 million. Further, according to the World Bank Group, in 2019, the number of arrivals in Singapore was 19.1 million.

With the rising number of international tourists, airports across India & South-East Asia are deploying an additional level of security to handle air passenger traffic. For instance, in October 2021, ADANI introduced the first product of its new product line, the IF 6045 baggage X-ray security system. This new product features the company’s advanced software developments along with the state-of-the-art technology. Additionally, in July 2021, a UV disinfection system is embedded in ADANI’s latest full-body X-ray scanner (CLEARPASS). Ultraviolet (UV) Germicidal Irradiation light can be utilized for deactivating the DNA of bacteria and RNA of viruses. Further, with the growing passenger numbers, Malaysia airports are replacing manual body searches with X-ray machines and scanners. In 2020, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and low-cost carrier terminal KLIA2 implemented new X-ray machines and scanners. Moreover, in September 2019, there was an installation of 23 X-ray machines at Thailand's main international airport, Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Therefore, an increase in number of passenger traffic in India & South-East Asia is expected to boost the demand for airport x-ray security screening systems in the coming years.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Airport X-Ray Security Screening Market

Air business is one of the essential businesses in South-East Asian countries, and the COVID-19 outbreak across the region has paralyzed the entire industry. The revenue generated from airports contributes a significant share in the GDP of every South-East Asian country. However, the airports in the region are witnessing a continuous fall in revenues, as operations were suspended for regular passenger flights in 2020 and airport infrastructure development was paused in several countries. Due to the temporary termination of airport operations (except freight aircraft), the revenue generation for end users (airport owners) has fallen drastically, which would take a longer time to normalize. This showcased a negative effect on the airport x-ray security screening market in the country in 2020. However, in 2021, with the uplifting of lockdown, the domestic flights are operating, which is slowly propelling the need for x-ray security screening at the airports for the screening off passengers.
