According to FutureWise analysis the market for backscatter x-ray devices in 2023 is US$ 0.15 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 0.21 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 4.8%.
The backscatter X-ray technique is an advanced X-ray imaging method. A traditional X-ray machine detects hard and soft materials by varying the x-ray intensity transmitted through the target. X-rays that receive backscatter radiation are used in contrast to backscatter X-rays. It has potential applications for less-destructive inspections and can be used even if only one side of the target is available. It is one of two types of whole-body imaging technology that has been used to perform full-body scans of airline passengers to detect hidden weapons, tools, liquids, narcotics, currency, and other contraband. Millimeter wave scanners are the other type of whole-body imaging technology. An airport security machine of this type is also called a "body scanner", "whole body imager", "security scanner" or "naked scanner". In developed countries (due to high awareness), most passengers do not want to undergo the scanning process because of concerns about their health and privacy. A scanning process produces outlines of a person's body, and, therefore, airport officials find it difficult to convince passengers to undergo scanning. In spite of the fact that backscatter X-ray technology has become a viable alternative to manual searches at airports and other security checkpoints due to its ability to penetrate clothing, it is also a privacy concern for passengers. The majority of passengers believe an official viewing the scanned image could violate their privacy. The passenger uses a colostomy bag, has a missing limb, wears a prosthesis, or is transgender.
