Narcotics Scanner Market
Narcotics Scanner Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Fixed and Handheld), by Technology (Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS), Contraband Detection Equipment, Visual Inspection System, and Infrared Spectroscopy), and by End-User (Airport, Seaport, Railway Terminal, Defense & Military, and Law Enforcement) Forecast Period (2024-2031)
Narcotics scanner market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Government enacted laws & regulations aimed at reducing drug & associated material trafficking are a major factor driving the global market. For instance, in November 2023, the Federal Executive Council, FEC, approved the award of a contract for the supply and installation of customized explosive and narcotic detection screening systems in five international airports across Nigeria.
Additionally, in January 2023, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control launched the Narcotic Drugs Serialization Pilot Project, in a bid to strengthen the quality and security of medical products in the country’s drug distribution network. The initiative aimed to combat the proliferation of substandard and falsified medicines by implementing a traceability system, addressing challenges posed by unscrupulous elements in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Such initiatives are driving the demand for the narcotic scanner market globally. Government organizations are focusing on tightening security to minimize the illegal trafficking of artificial drugs such as methamphetamine. This is expected to further increase the deployment of these technologies.

Segmental Outlook
The global narcotics scanner market is segmented based on product, technology, and end-user. Based on product, the market is segmented into fixed and handheld. Based on technology, the market is segmented into Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS), contraband detection equipment, visual inspection systems, and infrared spectroscopy. Based on end-users, the market is segmented into airports, seaports, railway terminals, defense & military, and law enforcement.
Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) to Hold Considerable Share in the Global Narcotics Scanner Market
The exceptional performance of Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) in mass screening at airports and other public areas is a key factor driving the growth of this market segment. This technology is highly effective in the detection of military, commercial, and homemade narcotic drugs. The data obtained by these spectrometers which is generally in the form of ion mobility spectrum is compared to the existing information related to spectra which helps in identifying illegal drugs. Research indicates that the illegal drug trade is almost as high as 1.1% of the global trade. Therefore, this segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share during the forecast period.
Regional Outlook
The global narcotics scanner market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). North America held a considerable share of the global market. The regional market share is attributed to the high demand for narcotic scanners among government organizations.
Global Narcotics Scanner Market Growth, by Region 2024-2031
Asia-Pacific is Anticipated to Exhibit Considerable Growth in the Global Market
The government initiative to stop the illegal transportation of narcotics & drugs is a key factor contributing to the regional market growth. For instance, in June 2023, Nagpur City police chief Amitesh Kumar launched ‘Operation Narcops’ to weed out drug peddlers from city limits. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Methamphetamine seizures in 2022 returned to pre-COVID-19 levels in East and SE Asia with nearly 151 tons seized in part because land borders, particularly in the lower Mekong subregion, remain very vulnerable to the trafficking of related chemicals. Beyond methamphetamine, the region seized a record 27.4 tons of ketamine in 2022, an increase of 167.0%, with all countries and territories in the region reporting an increase except Hong Kong and China. The growing focus of the countries in the region to reduce drug trafficking is driving the growth of the regional market.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global narcotics scanner market include Bruker Corp., OSI Systems Inc., FLIR Systems Inc., Aventura Technologies Inc., and Safran SA among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and advancement in their product offerings to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in July 2021, Viken Detection, a provider of x-ray imaging, chemical detection, and environmental analytical solutions, announced the official release of the FOXHOUND-HNA. Featuring tri-mode functionality and design, Viken’s handheld narcotics analyzer is optimized for drug interdiction and tailored for wide use in law enforcement operations. FOXHOUND-HNA provides users with critical information, able to determine if narcotics are or have been present and identify those substances
