Increasing Concerns over Terrorist Attacks Raises Emphasis on Homeland Security

With the increase in terrorist threats across the European Union (EU), countries are placing a greater emphasis on improving homeland security through the monitoring of entry and exit points. Further, the expansion of the EU has made borders relatively more porous and policing the borders more effectively is crucial to checking the inflow of illegal immigrants. Hence, with the stress on improved security within the EU, there has been a surge in demand for technologies that helps detect threats at airports, seaports and borders. Consequently, demand for biometric identification/authentication systems, radio frequency identification and explosive detection systems are expected to increase significantly over the next ten years.

This Frost & Sullivan research service analyses the European homeland security market. It identifies the overall market characteristics along with the market size, drivers and restraints, and timelines for the relevant spending. This is expected to assist decision-makers in the defence industry to understand, identify and capitalise on opportunities within the European homeland security market.

Improvements in Air Travel Security Drives Demand for Biometric Technologies

Post September 11, air travel security has been accorded greater priority and the present the focus has been tuned towards making air travel more safe and secure, checking the entry of people with weapons and false identities onboard, rebuilding customer confidence and also keeping the entire airport procedure convenient and effective. In this scenario, biometric technologies are viewed as optimum solutions to enhance overall security right from proper passenger identification to secure access control. Also, with the increase in airline passenger numbers, use of biometrics could allow airports to reduce the number of space consuming check-in kiosks (and their related staff), as well as create a more self-service oriented environment, while still maintaining necessary security levels.

Among the screening technologies, portable screening technologies are likely to gain preference at airports since they are cheaper and more flexible in comparison to traditional screening methods. European seaports are also showing a strong demand for high-end screening equipment as it increases the number of containers screened and prevent delays in the supply chain. "Despite recent trials at both Amsterdam Schiphol airport and London Heathrow airport, the deployment of radio frequency identification device (RFID) equipment for baggage tracking is unlikely to gain much industry acceptance," says the analyst of this research service. "However, with the need for enhancing supply-chain efficiency and increasing security capabilities, seaport container tracking is likely to be one of the main contributing applications to the RFID market growth in the near future."

Knowledge of Regional Market is Crucial for Improving Business Prospects

Europe is a huge market for security equipment and is second only to North America in terms of market share. However, it also comprises of heterogeneous markets that differ in their security requirements, security funding and purchase structure among other regional variables. Hence, knowledge of regional markets and strategic partnerships with regional participants could help companies better understand the way business is undertaken and thus ensure better returns in the long term.

"Borders are likely to generate the least demand for screening technologies in the first half of the period 2005-2014, but spurred by the demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) overall demand from the border sector is expected to increase in the second half of the forecast period," says the analyst. "During the same period, airports are expected to display significant demand levels for identification/authentication and screening technologies, while seaports are likely to see a greater uptake of screening and especially tracking technologies."
