Middle East and Africa Terahertz Body Scanning Market Key Players and Forecast by 2027

The terahertz body scanning market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 2.31 million in 2019 to US$ 12.49 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 24.1% from 2020 to 2027.

South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and UAE are major economies in Middle East and Africa. As human health and safety are of paramount importance, terahertz screening solutions have gained traction. In contrast to X-ray machines, terahertz waves are entirely harmless to humans and have no ionizing radiation, but they can easily penetrate clothes and other enclosures. With growing technological advancements across different industries, the demand for terahertz body scanning in public spaces, airport checkpoints, train stations, and subways is increasing at an alarming level. This technology is continuously used in applications such as safety screening. Also, the incorporation of terahertz body scanning is increasing in various handheld scanners, which are primarily deployed for security screening in airports and other public spaces. For example, terahertz imaging scanners are designed to meet the needs of industrial applications and to support imagery at a high speed of up to 15 m/s. It can correctly handle security screening tasks such as checking for hidden objects and threats on mail packages, envelopes, and small parcels. THz images obtained in the transmission mode help in seeing through envelopes and many types of packages, small bags, boxes, etc. and help in identifying potentially hazardous items inside the container without opening or disturbing its integrity.
