Market Report Description

The Global Contraband Detector Market size is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period. Contrabands refer to the illegal items like nuclear materials, weapons, and explosives. A contraband detector is a gadget, which helps in detecting hidden illegal items like drugs, weapons, and explosives. There are two kinds of contraband detectors available in the market fixed and portable.

These types of detectors are majorly utilized in government and military areas to ensure the security & safety of the borders and at airports & metro stations to check the entire luggage and safeguard the areas that are prone to contraband materials. Whenever any contraband detector comes in contact with illegal materials, it produces a sound to alert the guards for further investigation of the luggage. Contraband detectors determine the mass density of the object during the inspection process and show the variation among the densities of any kind of illegal contraband materials and the items in which the unauthorized materials are hidden. In addition, contraband detectors are utilized at various places like transportation, government facilities, and homeland security.
