A baggage scanner is a machine utilized at airports, train stations, and security checkpoints to examine luggage and other items for security threats or prohibited items. It operates using X-ray technology to produce images of the bag's contents, which are then reviewed by a security officer to detect any potential threats or banned items.
Baggage scanners primarily include X-ray scanners, vacuum systems, and radio frequency identification (RFID). X-ray scanners generate images of baggage contents using X-rays. These solutions cater to various stages such as check-in, screening, loading, conveying, sorting, unloading, and reclaiming. They serve diverse end users including railway stations, border checkpoints, airports, educational institutions, public sectors, and commercial facilities.

The baggage scanner market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.96 billion in 2023 to $2.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The increase in the past period can be credited to the rise in global air travel, heightened security concerns, regulatory requirements for airport security, increased risks of terrorism, and occurrences of baggage theft and smuggling.
The baggage scanner market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.57 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth expected in the upcoming period is driven by the increasing demand for automated screening systems, the expansion of airport infrastructure, growth in global air passenger numbers, enhanced security measures, and an uptick in cargo and freight transportation. Key trends in this period include advancements in 3D imaging technology, greater use of AI-powered screening processes, adoption of automated baggage handling systems, increased use of non-invasive inspection methods, and the integration of advanced threat detection algorithms.
The increasing incidence of terrorist attacks is expected to drive growth in the baggage scanner market in the future. Terrorism refers to the use of violence, intimidation, or coercion for political, religious, or ideological purposes. Factors contributing to the rise in terrorism include political instability, economic disparities, ideological extremism, foreign interventions, media influence, ethnic tensions, technological advancements, and weapons proliferation. Baggage scanners play a crucial role in combating terrorism by employing advanced technology to detect threats, bolster security measures at various checkpoints, and enhance global public safety efforts. For example, the Global Terrorism Index 2023, released by the Institute for Economics & Peace, reported that terrorist attacks became more lethal in March 2023, averaging 1.7 fatalities per incident, up from 1.3 deaths per attack in 2021. Hence, the increasing occurrence of terrorism is a key driver for the baggage scanner market.
