The drive through scanner segment is expected to hold a highest vehicle scanner industry share by 2032. Drive-through car scanners or full-body scanners are currently being installed in government buildings, military encampments, and other highly restricted areas. These systems primarily scan automobiles using x-ray technology, which will aid in finding bombs, drugs, contrabands, and other potential dangers. Large vehicles are scanned at locations including airports, seaports, toll booths, oil refineries, and border crossings with this technology. Manufacturers including Rapiscan offer drive-through systems for scanning the entire vehicle body.
The fixed vehicle scanner market segment expanded 5% growth in 2022. The wide acceptance of these scanners in countries including Saudi Arabia, the U.S., Germany, and the UK is fuelling sector growth. In permanent vehicle scanning checkpoints, fixed or static vehicle scanners are typically installed. Fixed/static vehicle scanners have higher installation costs as compared to other portable/mobile vehicle scanner systems as they are placed below the Earth’s surface. A static vehicle scanner has a speed range of 30 to 60 km/h for scanning the vehicle. The technology can automatically detect, scan, and compare photos, making the work of security personnel safer, simpler, and more efficient.
The vehicle scanner industry demand for government critical infrastructure protection is expected to expand at an above 5% rate during 2023-2032. The growth is attributed to the expansion of the government/critical infrastructure protection sector. Government agencies need car scanning systems to safeguard critical locations including nuclear power plants and oil refineries. Vehicle scanner systems are used by many governments to secure military installations, defence institutions, and border checkpoints as well as important infrastructures such as jails and historical sites.
The North America vehicle scanner market held the highest share of 35% in 2022. The region has a significant potential due to the continuous infrastructure development in the U.S. including airports, seaports, and strong security measures to combat criminal activities and terrorism. Strong safety & security measures are now more important across various countries due to the growth in unauthorized activities in the region. Governments as well as private and commercial institutions are emphasizing safety considerations to combat threats. Overhead x-ray equipment for full-body car scanning and under-vehicle scanners are installed in properties to increase security & safety. To prevent illegal border crossing, UVSS and RFID technologies can be implemented.
