“Security, fire protection and emergency services are expected to grow at the fastest growth rate in advanced airport technologies market in the Asia-Pacific region,” the report notes. “Owing to the newer types of safety threats airports must be equipped to deal with weapons such as concealed weapons, explosives, CBW and radiological weapons. In addition to the traditional metal detectors and X-ray machines, newer detection technologies are being deployed at the airports in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the major reason fuelling the growth of security, fire protection and emergency services segment in Asia-Pacific.”

Unpredictable Weather and Natural Calamities Seen as Chief Market Restraint

Travel in general, and airports in particular, are commonly affected by unpredictable weather and natural calamities, and these factors are conspiring to restrain growth in the market. According to a United Nations report, the Asia-Pacific region sees billions of dollars’ worth of damage annually from weather and natural events, including floods, tsunamis, earthquakes and cyclones. Developing nations in the region have yet to come up with technological solutions to offset some of these setbacks.
