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. Thus, proliferation in the implementation of terahertz body scanning at public places, airport checkpoints, train stations, and subways is expected to create a significant demand for terahertz body scanners in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the Middle East & Africa terahertz body scanning market
In order to contain the spread of COVID-19 the governments across Middle East & Africa are imposing travel bans, factory and business shutdowns and lockdowns which will ultimately hamper the anticipated revenue generation and growth opportunities. By far, Iran is the worst hit country by the virus followed by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Morocco, and Kuwait. The Middle East n nd Africa region comprises of many growing economies such as UAE among others, which are prospective markets for terahertz body scanning providers, owing to the huge scope in custom, public spaces, retail, etc. The demand for terahertz body scanning is positive, however, due to corona outbreak the companies are experiencing interruption in production. The pandemic due to COVID-19 has negatively affected the already beaky economic conditions in Middle East nnd Africa due to falling of oil prices. The estimated decline in Middle East and Africa’s economic condition and impact of COVID-19 on growth of various industries in the region is expected to negatively impact the demand of terahertz body scanning in 2020 and 2021.
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 terahertz body scanning market. The Middle East & Africa terahertz body scanning market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
