global vehicle scanner market dynamics

Market Dynamics

Growing Smart Infrastructure Investments

In recent years governments globally have taken constant measures to enhance public safety through infrastructure development. As countries are willing to invest more in smart city initiatives, the demand for security systems such as vehicle scanners is expected to increase. For instance, as per the International Trade Administration, the Indian government has plans to invest approximately $30.0 billion in smart city initiatives. These projects are expected to provide opportunities for US safety and security companies. Related hardware will be in high demand, including surveillance and safety equipment, communication devices, displays and video surveillance, access control systems, and detectors and sensors that incorporate Internet-of-Things technologies, power backup systems, and traffic management systems.

Investments to Counter Illegal and Criminal Activities 

As a tactic to counter security breaches and enhance safety, there is a constant demand for advanced scanning technologies to detect contraband, explosives, and other illicit materials at border crossings, ports, and high-security facilities. Governments are constantly allocating budgets to reduce issues such as immigration, smuggling, human trafficking, and others. For instance, n. US defense budget included nearly $25.0 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an increase of almost $800.0 million over the 2023 enacted level. It also included funds for CBP to hire an additional 350 Border Patrol Agents, $535.0 million for border security technology at and between ports of entry, $40.0 million to combat fentanyl trafficking and disrupt transnational criminal organizations

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global vehicle scanner market includes the following segments by type, structure type, application, and component:

  • Based on type, the market is bifurcated into portable, and fixed vehicle scanners.
  • Based on structure type, the market is bifurcated into drive-through, and UVSS.
  • Based on application, the market is bifurcated into government, and private sectors.
  • Based on component, the market is bifurcated into hardware and software.

Fixed Vehicle Scanner to Remain as the Largest Segment

Based on the type, the fixed vehicle scanner sub-segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The primary factors supporting the segment are the usage of vehicle scanning devices at stationary locations, scanning device requirements at public places, system size, and feasibility of vehicle scanning devices for government usage.

Drive-Through Systems to Hold Substantial Share

Based on systems type, most organizations invest in drive-through systems as they provide better control in monitoring and exercising response to any threat. Also, drive-through scanning systems are scalable, adaptable, and critical for maintaining automobile safety and compliance providing seamless integration into existing traffic flow, while reducing interruptions while increasing security at critical checkpoints such as border crossings, airports, and high-security institutions.

Governments to Remain as the Largest Sub-segment

Government organization is the biggest consumer of vehicle scanner systems as it requires such systems to cover wide border areas, public premises, transportation facilities, and other confidential premises. The government is also the biggest investor in recent years into security and defense technologies making it one of the major consumers of such scanning systems.

Software is Projected to Dominate the Market

Vehicle scanning software is getting innovated through new technology and integration with high-profile sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) technology making it the growing sub-segment among the two. Also, major players in the market have developed AI integrated scanners to improve current products. For instance, Gatekeeper’s launched an automatic under-vehicle inception system. IVUS finds foreign objects, changes, and anomalies within seconds and automatically compares the subject vehicle's undercarriage to a reference image (stored in the GEMS® database) and displays both on the screen, making it a fully automated vehicle inspection system.

Regional Outlook

The global vehicle scanner market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

Global Vehicle Scanner Market Growth by Region 2024-2031

global vehicle scanner market growth, by region

North America Holds Major Market Share

Among all the regions, the North American region has been one of the leading markets for vehicle scanning systems due to its huge defense budget, demand for high-tech security systems in cities and private buildings, government investment into scanning systems, longest border exposure with Canada, developed infrastructure and rising highway construction operations. Also, North American markets have two biggest players in the vehicle scanning space creating possibilities for exporting such high-tech scanners globally as well as for domestic consumption. Also, North American countries have made investments in upgrading state-run premise security. For instance, in January 2023, the US General Services Administration (GSA) and the US Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held a groundbreaking ceremony with local, state, and federal officials to commemorate the start of the $308.0 million project to modernize and expand the San Luis I Land Port of Entry as part of President Biden's Investing in America Agenda. The project, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, would replace the port's undersized 1980s infrastructure with new, larger buildings and greater inspection capacity. The project will increase the number of northbound vehicle inspection lanes from eight to sixteen, create a 16,000-square-foot canopy, and facilitate the installation of cutting-edge inspection technologies to assist CBP's security mandate. The project also includes a new 21,000-square-foot pedestrian inspection structure, which will increase the number of inspection booths from ten to fourteen while enhancing pedestrian traffic flow.

Asia-Pacific Remains as the Fastest Growing 

  • Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest growing regions globally, with rising demand for smart technology and infrastructure creating demand for vehicle scanning systems.
  • Rising rate of cross-border smuggling and illegal activities, along with government investment to upgrade state-run premises to stimulate demand in the region.
