Asia Pacific Air Cargo Security and Screening Systems Market

Market Introduction

The presence of developing economies and the rise in the adoption of innovative and advanced technologies contribute to the overall growth of the APAC region. Australia, China, India are the major contributors to the growth of the air cargo security and screening market in this region. Rapid technological developments, digitalization of economies, and adequate government support are among the significant factors contributing to the growth of the APAC economy. Increasing deployment of security screening systems and rising need for transport temperature-sensitive system at airports are influencing the demand for APAC air cargo security and screening systems. Furthermore, the growing safety concerns due to the rise in terrorism and rapid adoption of e-commerce are the other factors contributing to market growth. Furthermore, governments of various countries across the region are focusing on the development of airports. For instance, the Airports Authority of India is planning to build city-side infrastructure at airports across the country, with help from private players for building hotels, car parks, and other facilities. Also, the Indian government has plans to set up new airports over the coming years. The government of China is highly focused on modernizing its infrastructure and has completed several projects to develop its infrastructure. Furthermore, the country is constantly expanding its transportation infrastructure. The growing infrastructure installation will result in the deployment of new air cargo security and screening systems. Moreover, in June 2021, according to the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA), the international air cargo demand for Asia Pacific-based carriers, measured in freight ton-km (FTK), has been increased by 25.7% year-on-year, with volumes matching the same month in 2019.

In case of COVID-19, APAC is highly affected especially India. The developing countries do not have required health infrastructure and this was the main reason that led to the increase in the count of recorded cases in 2020. As per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the pandemic has affected significant economies such as India, Australia, and Japan to some extent. Due to inadequate health and medicine facilities, government authorities had to impose restrictions of limited workforce at production sites. The cargo delivered to various parts of the country includes COVID-19 related medical equipment, reagents, enzymes, masks, testing kits & PPE, gloves & other accessories. Further, the ministry of civil aviation in India has undertaken continuous efforts at the policy level and ground level to add substantially to the country’s fight against COVID-19. For instance, Air India and IAF (Indian Air Force) collaborated for supplying medical equipment across Ladakh, Imphal, Dimapur, Gangtok, Bagdogra, Guwahati, Chennai, and Port Blair. A dedicated medical air cargo-related website Lifeline Udan has been launched and is functional. As per the Association of APAC Airlines (AAPA), the air cargo sector is actively transporting much-needed medical equipment and supplies in Asian countries. Therefore, with the growing demand for air cargo for supplying medical equipment, the requirement for security and screening systems has also increased. Thus, the air cargo business in APAC has reflected positive market growth.

The APAC air cargo security and screening systems market is expected to grow from US$ 290.83 million in 2021 to US$ 453.11 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing terrorist activities and rising threats to major economies have forced the governments and other governing bodies to undertake air traffic controls. Several authorities are expected to increase security scanning systems across all entry and exit points of airports in the region. The deployment of parcel scanners at airports helps reduce fraudulent activities, such as diamond, narcotics, smuggling, weapons, and other expensive materials. Security screening systems that include X-ray cargo scanners as one of the major components have successfully deteriorated the impact of terrorist activities. Also, with the rising level of violence and terrorism, X-ray scanners are increasingly installed at airports. Therefore, the growing terror activities and investments by the aviation department in infrastructure would create lucrative opportunities for the APAC air cargo security and screening systems market growth in the coming years.
