Full Body Scanner Market

Full body Scanner Market Outlook

The global full body scanner market is anticipated to be valued at USD 371.5 million in 2023, and forecast to expand at a CAGR of 9.7% to be valued at USD 937.7 million from 2023 to 2033.

Growth is attributed to the increasing application in end-user industries. From 2018 to 2022 a CAGR of 6.5% was registered for the full-body scanner market.

Full body scanners work on two distinct technologies- millimeter wave technology and backscatter X-ray technology. Depending on the type of technology being used, an operator checks a person's body through an alternate-wavelength image of the person's naked body or through a cartoon-like picture of the person with an indicator screening the section where any doubtful items are detected.

The millimeter wave technology is gaining popularity across the world as it is quick, does not require any kind of physical contact, and does not require any person to strip search. Millimeter wave technology is mainly responsible for the equipment’s ability to see through the body. Full body scanners reflect radio waves of high frequency off the body and create an image that facilitates spotting objects hidden under the clothes or any other kind of cover.

Advanced imaging technologies are used by full-body scanners, which are controlled using fixed computer systems. These systems transmit images to the desktops installed on user consoles. Full-body scanners are supported by these user consoles.
