Explosive detection technology is technology used for detection of explosive material at Airports, border petrol security and ports. The explosive detection technology is divided into two types’ bulk detection and trace detection. There are various types of technologies used for the explosive detection. For instance, in bulk detection X-ray, Infrared, Electromagnetic and Others. In trace detection optical, non-optical, biosensors and others. The explosive detection technology finds its applications in critical infrastructure, military and defense, and airports. Several types of explosive detection equipment’s are used such as ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), this machine used to detect the traces of explosive material at airports. Another such type of equipment is gas chromatography (GC) it is used to separate molecules before detection.
Moreover government over the world making strict regulation for the explosive manufacturing to use certain easily detectable substances in the explosives. Such as, Montreal Convention 1991, a detection taggant is mandatory when explosives are made to make detection easier. For instance, Semtex, is adding DMDNB, a chemical substance easily detected by explosive detection equipment.
Market Dynamics:
Rising thread of explosive attacks is expected to create significant growth opportunities for the adoption of explosive detection technologies over the forecast period. Moreover, method of attack is changing from tradition explosive attack to humanoid explosive attack, this mandates security agencies to change their explosive detection techniques. This factor is driving the growth of the explosive detection technology market.
However, strict rules and regulation related to Explosive detection technology development and investment in research and development at initial stages are expected to hamper the growth of explosive detection technology market the forecast period.
