What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the explosive detection technology market?

The rising global terrorism is expected to propel the growth of the explosive detection technology market going forward. Terrorism is the use of violence, intimidation, or threats, often against civilians, to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives. Terrorism is rising due to a combination of political instability, ideological extremism, social and economic inequality, technological advancements, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts. Explosive detection technology is used in counter-terrorism to identify and prevent the deployment of explosives in public spaces, airports, and high-risk areas, ensuring safety and security. For instance, in December 2023, according to the 2023 Global Terrorism Index from Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australia-based organization, terrorist attacks have grown more lethal, with the average number of fatalities per attack increasing by 26%. In 2022, the death rate rose to 1.7 deaths per attack, up from 1.3 deaths per attack in 2021. Therefore, the rising global terrorism is driving the growth of the explosive detection technology market.
