Global Contraband Detector Market Share

According to the contraband detector market analysis, X-ray imaging leads the market by offering fast and non-invasive inspection capabilities, enabling security personnel to effectively detect concealed contraband within luggage and cargo. Its ability to generate detailed images improves detection accuracy, reduces false positives, and enhances efficiency at checkpoints, airports, and border crossings. In October 2024, LINEV Systems launched a new contraband X-ray body scanner designed for law enforcement, enhancing security in prisons and border crossings by detecting hidden illegal goods on individuals.

Metal detection technology is essential for identifying metallic contraband, such as weapons and explosives, concealed in bags or cargo. Its high sensitivity provides quick alerts to security personnel, improving safety in public spaces, airports, and prisons. In March 2024, Fisher Research Labs introduced a new multi-frequency metal detector to enhance contraband detection in security applications, improving accuracy across various environments.

The growth of the contraband detector market is further supported by spectrometry and spectroscopy techniques, which analyse material composition to identify illicit substances like drugs or explosives through their unique spectral signatures. These methods enhance detection precision and provide valuable information about the materials being inspected. In June 2024, PerkinElmer launched an advanced Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer to improve material analysis in security applications, aiding law enforcement in the swift and accurate detection of hazardous substances during inspections.
