Market Report I 2023-11-24 I 147 Pages I IMARC Group
The global narcotics scanner market size reached US$ 6.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 9.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.54% during 2022-2028.
Narcotics scanners are used by law enforcement authorities for detecting the illicit use of cocaine, amphetamine, opiates, and other drugs. They assist in combating the drug trade and other threats and protecting the prosperity of a nation. Nowadays, several manufacturers are introducing non-destructive scanners with automated data storage and report generation capabilities. These scanners can scan directly through plastic and glass, thereby minimizing contamination, reducing exposure, and preserving evidence.
Narcotics Scanner Market Trends:
Due to the growing instances of drug trafficking across the globe, law enforcement officials are relying on different measures to identify suspected narcotics and drug dealers quickly. This represents one of the key factors influencing the market positively. Apart from this, governments of numerous countries are adopting preventive measures to improve physical security and stop drug smuggling into prisons. For instance, the Government of the United Kingdom (UK) launched the 10 Prisons Project that aims to reduce drug consumption and violence while improving standards in jails. This is positively influencing the sales of narcotics scanners to detect invisible traces of drugs, such as psychoactive substances, on clothes, paper, and mail. Moreover, narcotic scanners are gaining traction at airports to intercept and detain people who have illicit substances. This, in confluence with the increasing air traffic, is contributing to market growth. Furthermore, international organizations are also focusing on tightening the security of airports. For instance, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) signed a partnership to prevent criminal and terrorist threats at airports. Additionally, several manufacturers are introducing handheld narcotics analyzers that enable officers, customs, border control, and other personnel to scan suspected controlled substances in a single, definitive test.
