Market Driver

Laser Detect Systems (LDS) of Israel has introduced a revolutionary explosive detection technology using laser spectroscopy. This portable solution can detect various materials, including explosives, narcotics, chemicals, biological substances, and minerals, through standoff or trace methods, eliminating the need for sampling. The technology integrates multiple spectral analysis and data fusion tools with real-time data collected via a laser beam. It can identify individually manufactured materials, leading to their production source, enhancing source tracking. Background noise, such as black pepper saturation, is eliminated, increasing reliability. This technology's versatility and effectiveness will significantly contribute to the growth of the global explosive detection equipment market during the forecast period. 

The Explosive Detection Equipment (EDE) market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing threats from terrorists and other anti-social elements. Fixed systems and robotics are trending in this market for their ability to detect bulk explosives in public places. Safety is a top priority, and EDEs are essential for detecting nitroaromatics, nitrate esters, nitramines, inorganic nitrates, chlorates, and peroxides in military equipment, IEDs, homemade bombs, and conventional military force. LCD/LED screens and LED indicator lights provide real-time results, while Li-Ion batteries ensure uninterrupted operation. EDEs are used to detect explosives in war zones, territorial disputes, and defense and security applications. OSI Systems' Spaser technology and graphene sensors are innovative solutions for detecting TNT, radiological components, chemical components, and biological components in ports, airports, and border control points.

Market Challenges

• The explosive detection equipment market has faced scrutiny due to the sale of counterfeit devices to defense agencies in the Middle East and APAC. These faulty detectors, such as the ADE 651 handheld device produced by ATSC in the UK, have led to tragic consequences, including the loss of innocent lives and significant property damage. The reliability of handheld explosive detection devices has been questioned, leading governments to hesitate in purchasing from foreign vendors. This reluctance has negatively impacted the global supply chain and reduced the number of market contracts, thereby limiting growth opportunities for the explosive detection equipment market during the forecast period.
• The Explosive Detection Equipment (EDE) market faces significant challenges due to the increasing use of chlorates and peroxides in Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) by terrorists and militant groups. Military equipment is also a concern, as territorial disputes can lead to the deployment of conventional military force, increasing the risk of encountering explosives. IEDs come in various forms, including roadside bombs, large-vehicle borne IEDs, aerial bombs, and homemade bombs made from fertilizers, TNT, and radiological, chemical, or biological components. EDEs are essential for securing ports, airports, border control points, and public spaces. New technologies like Spaser, graphene, and portable X-rays are being developed to improve EDE capabilities. OSI Systems, laser spectroscopy, thermal neutron activation, artificial intelligence, ground penetration radar, vehicle-mounted devices, and flammable materials detection are key areas of focus. Defense spending and transportation, including aviation, remain significant markets for EDEs.
