Air Cargo Security Screening: Market Growth Is Expected

The global air cargo security and inspection system market size reached US$987.9 million in 2024 and is expected to rise to US$1.53 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% from 2025 to 2033.

Globalization has increased airport air traffic and cargo volume, and airport managers have installed security inspection systems to efficiently handle cargo and inspections. The current mainstream security inspection systems are based on technologies such as X-rays, which have strong penetration and high degree of automation, saving manpower and time.

Ensuring safety is the key to driving the demand for security inspection systems, which can scan out illegal items such as explosives. The increase in related threats in recent years has prompted the widespread application of technology. At the same time, global air cargo volume has increased, and modern systems can screen large quantities of cargo in a short period of time. Airport managers need to rely on such technologies to strengthen cargo monitoring.
