Top Impacting Factors
Increase in number of people using public transportation facilities
More than 80% of the world's population relies on public transportation (buses, metros, trams, and local trains) for their intra-city and inter-city travel needs. Furthermore, with growing population, particularly in the Asian and Middle Eastern countries, it is expected that the number of people using public transportation would grow dramatically in these regions. Convenient travel, low-cost travel, and a worldwide push to decrease carbon impact encourage individuals to use public transportation more. For instance, in Singapore, more than 7 million people used public transportation every day before the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, governments throughout the world are investing more resources to implement passenger security technology such as baggage check systems and video surveillance systems to offer safer public travelling solutions.
Increase in risk regarding terrorist attacks on public transportation infrastructure
Surge in terrorist attacks post 2001 has encouraged governments throughout the world to increase their spending on passenger security systems. Moreover, increase in turmoil in Gulf and European areas have resulted in tightening of security measures at public transportation facilities by governments. Furthermore, in response to increased need for more secure and time-saving processes, equipment makers have started to provide improved computed tomography (CT) screening systems. By giving a more detailed 3D image of screened baggage, CT technologies boost threat detection capabilities.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The global outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in most countries to implement a temporary lockdown which further led to economic slowdowns in many business sectors, this especially affected the travel and tourism sector as COVID-19 restrictions made travel difficult for common people. However, stringent travel polices and regulations enforced by many governments during the period facilitated an increase in demand for passenger security solutions from essential sectors such as law enforcement and public infrastructure authorities that were responsible to enforce new standards of safety and security such as temperature and mask checks. Such trends provided great opportunities for development of the passenger security equipment market during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Analyst Review
Demand for passenger security equipment systems has been increasing in past few years, and is expected to maintain this trend in the coming years as well, owing to growing demands for better level of passenger safety and security standards. Moreover, rise in need to upgrade existing passenger safety equipment has increased demand for passenger security equipment. In addition, growth in digital and internet penetration in many regions of the world are promising new opportunities for growth of the passenger security equipment market.
Key providers of the passenger security equipment market such as Bosch Security Systems GmbH, Simens AG, andRapiscan Systems account for a significant share in the market. With larger requirement from passenger security equipment, various companies are establishing partnerships to increase their passenger security equipment offerings. For instance, in January 2022, Kapsch Trafficcom AG, a transportation and mobility solutions provider announced partnership with New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) to convert three remaining NHDOT toll zones to mainline all-electronic tolling (AET) from mixed-mode payment. With these systems in place drivers will no longer need to stop, slow down, or change lanes at any point along these five sites to pay tolls, which help improve traffic congestion, road safety, and vehicle emissions. As part of the project, Kapsch is expected to enhance its existing multiprotocol readers (MPR2.3) along NHDOT toll sites, enabling agencies to process all tolling protocols and support the goal of national tolling interoperability.
In addition, with increase in demand for passenger security equipment, various companies are expanding their current product portfolio with increasing diversification. For instance, in December 2020, Honeywell International Inc. announced launch of new updated features in its Honeywell Forge platform for business aviation flight departments. Network monitoring capabilities are incorporated in Honeywell Forge so that users can now stay better informed of vulnerabilities within their cabin connectivity service. The service is visualized on Honeywell Forge dashboard via network monitoring tile and enabled by installing GoDirect Router software package on an equipped aircraft.
Moreover, market players are expanding their business operations and customers by increasing their acquisition. For instance, in October 2021, Bosch Security Systems GmbH announced acquisition of Protec Fire and Security Group Ltd., one of the leading system integrators for security and fire detection technology. With acquisition of Protec, Bosch aims to expand its business and grow further in the Europe market.
Growth in global political tension and the fear of terrorist attacks are signaling significant growth opportunities for future of the global passenger security equipment market. In addition, the aviation industry getting back on track post a pandemic is positively impacting growth of the passenger security equipment market.
