DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wr3wfn/global_commercial) has announced the addition of the "Global Commercial Airports Body Scanners Market 2012-2016" report to their offering.
The Global Commercial Airport Full Body Scanner market to grow at a CAGR of 6.74 percent over the period 2012-2016.
One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing threat of terrorist attacks across the globe. The 9/11 terrorist attack has prompted the TSA to tackle the issue of security with utmost seriousness, and hence it has employed full-body scanners for screening passengers at major airports.
In recent years, full-body scanners are increasingly being used in pilot projects in several airports in the APAC region. Many commercial airports in the APAC region are installing full-body scanners and initiating pilot programs to test the feasibility of using these advanced devices. Full-body scanners are currently being used in trial phases in airports such as the Changi International Airport, Beijing International Airport, Delhi International Airport, Narita International Airport, Incheon International Airport, as well as the Sydney and Melbourne International Airports. Combined with other technologies, these devices could be permanently used in the passenger screening procedures at these airports, thereby fostering the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the resistance to the use of body scanners in Islamic countries. Many Islamic nations are against the idea of installing full-body scanner because it violates their religious beliefs.
