U.S. Explosive Detection Systems Markets

Threat Perception Accelerates Adoption of Explosive Detection Systems

The 9/11 attacks have changed the dynamics of the explosive detection systems (EDS) market across the globe. From a niche market poised for growth, it has become a booming industry fueled by threat perceptions and the on-going efforts to contain terrorism. Terrorists, functioning independently of nations, instill immense fear and apprehension in civilians and governments alike with their technical knowledge about explosives.

This study on the U.S. EDS market analyzes the defense and security segments for comprehensive information on growth opportunities, vital trends, and includes strategic conclusions. The analysis also looks at market restraints and drivers to enable participants in the EDS markets to plan effectively.

Increased Security Expenditure Helps Ensure Civilian Security

Basic explosives do not require extensive technical knowledge and can be created with materials commonly available in the United States - making importation redundant. This heightens the threat posed by explosives to civilian safety.

"Governments have increased efforts toward annihilating this threat perception and raising security measures to ensure maximum civilian protection," says the analyst of this research. "For instance, airline security was greatly expanded when the Congress mandated all checked luggage be screened for explosives before December 31, 2002, which was effectively met."

Technical Innovations Key to Enhanced Market Growth

With pressure for increasing security measures mounting, authorities are seeking innovative and technically enhanced products. Rising awareness levels are also benefiting the industry by bringing in new money for research, development, testing, and evaluation. "Once the Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes a problem, the trickle-down of fresh money and ideas and an expanding government market in general should have a positive effect upon the entire market," says the analyst. "This will benefit the EDS segment by lowering costs and improving technical quality by inventing speedier and sensitive equipment with reduced chances of false alarms."
