SUMMARY
Threat Perception Accelerates Adoption of Explosive Detection Systems The 9/11 attacks have changed the dynamics of the explosive detection systems(EDS) market across the globe. From a niche market poised for growth, it hasbecome a booming industry fueled by threat perceptions and the on-going effortsto contain terrorism. Terrorists, functioning independently of nations, instillimmense fear and apprehension in civilians and governments alike with theirtechnical knowledge about explosives. This Frost & Sullivan study on the U.S. EDS market analyzes the defenseand security segments for comprehensive information on growth opportunities,vital trends, and includes strategic conclusions. The analysis also looks atmarket restraints and drivers to enable participants in the EDS markets to planeffectively. Increased Security Expenditure Helps Ensure Civilian Security Basic explosives do not require extensive technical knowledge and can becreated with materials commonly available in the United States ? Makingimportation redundant. This heightens the threat posed by explosives to civiliansafety. "Governments have increased efforts toward annihilating this threatperception and raising security measures to ensure maximum civilianprotection," says the analyst of this research. "For instance, airlinesecurity was greatly expanded when the Congress mandated all checked luggage bescreened for explosives before December 31, 2002, which was effectivelymet." Technical Innovations Key to Enhanced Market Growth With pressure for increasing security measures mounting, authorities areseeking innovative and technically enhanced products. Rising awareness levelsare also benefiting the industry by bringing in new money for research,development, testing, and evaluation. "Once the Department of Defense (DoD)recognizes a problem, the trickle-down of fresh money and ideas and an expandinggovernment market in general should have a positive effect upon the entiremarket," says the analyst. "This will benefit the EDS segment bylowering costs and improving technical quality by inventing speedier andsensitive equipment with reduced chances of false alarms."
