Description

The continued threat and evolving creativity of terrorism is leading to the development of new sophisticated screening technology that is more effective, relevant and culturally acceptable. The growth in air-transportation, the opening up of European boarders to include further EU accession nations, the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to terrorist threat and some high profile, fatal shootings in America' s schools have all contributed to an increasing demand for effective screening and inspection equipment. IMS Research' s aim in writing this report is to provide marketing and technical executives with an up-to-date, comprehensive assessment of the global explosives, weapons & contraband detection equipment market and to forecast the impact of significant trends over the next five years.

The explosives, weapons & contraband detection equipment market size estimates for 2006 and 2007 are presented in factory revenues and unit shipments, with growth rate forecasts for the period 2008 to 2011. The report analyses the market in detail with statistics provided for five different application types (Baggage & Parcel Inspection, Cargo & Vehicle Inspection, Hold-Baggage Inspection, People Screening and Multi-Application Inspection).
