Moreover, the need and use of security screening devices are increasing. For instance, X-ray security systems are used in the government sector and aeronautics industry; handheld detectors are used in airports; and biometric systems are used in many offices and educational institutes. Government regulation for greater and effective security checking boosts the security screening market growth.

COVID-19 Banner:

COVID-19 has caused the overall security screening industry to mobilize quickly. Governments in key markets have prioritized safety & security technologies pertaining to the current threat environment experienced globally. Therefore, there is a strong demand for security devices and technologies from the military & defense sector. 

COVID-19 outbreak has forced suppliers to radically rethink how they operate their business. With rising unemployment and low & poor sources of income, there will be more theft, robberies, murders, and threat to life & property. Therefore, there is more need for security.

The pandemic has impacted the production process of several industries. Trade barriers are further constraining the demand and supply outlook. As governments of different countries have already announced total lockdown and temporary shutdown of industries, the overall production process is adversely affected.
