Latin America Trace Detection Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Latin America Trace Detection Market Analysis

The Latin America Trace Detection Market size is estimated at USD 0.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 0.12 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.31% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The identifiable situations in which a threat has been responded to tend to create a complicated passenger experience. Regarding security processes, the need for more secure transportation is growing, and this has transformed railway and other transport in recent decades, driving the trace detection market in Latin America.
• Security concerns have been a significant issue in Latin America. Owing to growing terrorist activity in the region, governments and private enterprises have invested massive amounts of money in security checks and surveillance. These concerns have been raised in infrastructure, transportation, and other security-critical places with a potential risk of terrorist attacks.
• The region experienced an increase in the trafficking of substances, such as cocaine and heroin, which is expected to impact the growth of the trace detection market positively, as devices/systems may be implemented to offer protection from the illegal movement of drugs. For instance, at the beginning of 2023, police in Brazil intercepted 125 kilos of cocaine in Santos Port. These trends are expected to heavily impact the growth of the adoption of technologies, such as terahertz technologies in the region, over the forecast period.
• Many regional city governments focus on adopting security screening products for high-security applications, namely secure city programs and critical infrastructure protection. Moreover, the emphasis is increasing on developing innovative cities in emerging economies.
• In February 2024, Autoclear announced the commercial launch of AI Threat Assist, an AI-powered threat detection tool that helps to identify concealed guns, knives, and other concealed objects such as backpacks, handbags, and other items being inspected using Autoclear's X-ray security scanners.
