Market Trends of Asia-Pacific Trace Detection Screening Industry
The Law Enforcement Segment is Expected to Register a Significant Growth in the Market
- Security concerns have been a significant issue. Governments and private enterprises have invested massive amounts of money owing to growing terrorist activity in the region. Security checks and surveillance have been a concern in government buildings like Courthouses, embassies, Parliaments, government banks, libraries, and other security-critical places with a potential risk of terrorist attacks.
- The government significantly contributes to trace detectors in government officials' buildings. Government agencies increasingly adopt digital imaging to enhance productivity and provide greater access to certain information types.
- Trace detectors are crucial in enhancing security measures and safeguarding personnel, equipment, and infrastructure. Government officials use explosive trace detectors to screen vehicles entering government buildings. This is crucial for preventing unauthorized vehicles carrying explosive threats.
- The increasing cases of bomb threats on government buildings are creating a demand for the deployment of trace detectors. For instance, in January 2023, Chandigarh police received information regarding a bomb threat in the district court complex. Searches were launched at Sector 43, ISBT-43, and District Courts.
