A body scanner refers to a device designed to capture a detailed image or representation of the human body. It employs various technologies to detect concealed items without physical contact, such as weapons or contraband. Body scanners enhance safety by allowing for non-invasive inspections while maintaining passenger privacy.
The main types of body scanners are ground-mounted scanners and vehicle-mounted scanners. Ground-mounted scanners are stationary devices installed at fixed locations, such as airports or secure facilities. The various technologies include 3-dimensional (3D) body scanners, image processing, and modeling. It has systems such as millimeter wave, active millimeter wave scanner, passive millimeter wave scanner, and backscatter used for varying applications, including transport, infrastructure, and others for different end users, which include industrial, public, and prisons.

This body scanner market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The body scanner market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.22 billion in 2023 to $2.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including increased airport traffic, heightened security concerns, increased funding for security infrastructure, greater use of body scanners to prevent strip searches and invasive pat-downs, and government safety regulations.
The body scanner market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.80 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding transportation sector, increased global travel, greater use at events and venues, rising applications in the medical field, and the rise of smart city initiatives. Key trends for the forecast period include technological advancements, enhanced public venue security, the potential for AI integration, improved scanning efficiency, and emerging market penetration.
The anticipated growth in the body scanner market is expected to be driven by rising airport traffic. Airport traffic encompasses the movement of aircraft, passengers, and cargo, including takeoffs, landings, and the volume of passengers and goods transported. This increase in airport traffic is largely due to the rise of low-cost airlines, which have made air travel more affordable and accessible to a wider range of passengers. Body scanners contribute to managing airport traffic by expediting the security screening process, improving the detection of potential threats, and minimizing the need for manual searches. This results in more efficient passenger flow and enhanced safety, ultimately reducing delays and congestion at airports. For example, in May 2024, the Llywodraeth Cymru Welsh, a UK government administration, reported that UK airports handled 271.8 million passenger journeys in 2023, up from 221.8 million in 2022. Thus, the increase in airport traffic is driving the demand for body scanners.
Leading companies in the body scanner market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as mobile body scanners, to enhance screening efficiency. A mobile body scanner is a portable device designed to conduct body scans in various locations beyond traditional fixed facilities. These scanners can be utilized in a range of contexts, including medical diagnostics, security, and emergency situations. For example, in March 2023, LINE Systems U.K. Ltd., a UK-based security technology firm, launched the CLEARPASS C.I., a mobile body scanner. This advanced device is capable of detecting hidden contraband both on and inside the body. It features targeted area screening to minimize screening time and reduce unnecessary exposure. With its high-quality X-ray imaging, the CLEARPASS C.I. effectively identifies threats such as drugs, weapons, and other contraband, making it a crucial tool for ensuring public safety.
In September 2023, Frankfurt Airport, an international airport based in Germany, collaborated with Rohde & Schwarz to transform airport security. The partnership focuses on testing the R&S QPS Walk2000, the world's first walk-through security scanner. This groundbreaking technology aims to make security checks quicker, more efficient, and more user-friendly for passengers, all while upholding stringent security standards. Rohde & Schwarz, a Germany-based electronics firm, specializes in aviation security solutions, including millimeter wave security scanners.
