Abstract
The predicted death of the X-ray explosives screening market appears to have
been pre-mature.
In its report, Homeland Security Research Corporation forecasts that the
market for modern X-Ray systems, upgrades and post warranty service will grow
from $370 Million in 2008 to $735 in 2014 at a CAGR of over 12%.
In this report, HSRC:
1. Discusses the economic factors impacting seven sub-markets:
- Air cargo on scheduled passengers flights screening
- Airport-cabin baggage screening
- Secured facilities screening
- Postal items screening
- Supply chain cargo screening
- 1st responders bomb search
- Other x-ray explosives screening markets
2. Identifies the drivers propelling this growth, including:
- White House-mandated deployment of state-of-the-art X-ray systems at
airports;
- $1.05 billion earmarked in the “2009 American Recovery and

- $1.57 billion of the TSA' s $8.03 billion FY2010 budget is intended for the
purchase and installation of explosives detection systems (i.e., ETD, EDS,
X-Ray systems);
- Failure to develop new, competitive modalities;
3. Analyzes the market dynamics ,opportunities and competitive environment
- Seven end-customer sub-markets
- Systems markets and post warranty system upgrade & service markets
- Present and future technologies (e. g., Multi-Pixel X-Ray sources,
Fused modalities Multi- Thread systems , Dual-Energy X-Ray ,, coherent
scatter X-Ray, Backscatter X-Ray, Variable view X-Ray)
- Business Opportunities by Threats & Vulnerabilities - (e.g., Fused
technologies systems, Multi-Threat systems)
- Market Drivers & Inhibitors
