Based on mobility, the portable/handheld is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Portable and handheld backscatter X-ray devices are expected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to their growing adoption by law enforcement agencies, border patrol units, and field security teams that require rapid, flexible, and non-intrusive inspection capabilities. Their compact design, ease of deployment, and ability to scan vehicles, baggage, and concealed compartments in real time make them ideal for roadside checks, tactical operations, and mobile interdiction missions. Increasing investments in portable security technologies, combined with advancements in detector performance, battery life, ruggedization, and AI-assisted image interpretation, are further accelerating their demand across diverse security and enforcement environments.
Based on imaging mode, single-view backscatter imaging is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period.
Single-view backscatter imaging is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, as it represents the most widely adopted and operationally practical imaging mode across customs, border security, aviation cargo, and law enforcement. These systems provide sufficient image clarity for detecting organic threats, contraband, explosives, and hidden compartments, while maintaining a lower cost, simpler system architecture, and faster scan times compared to multi-view or hybrid modes. Their ease of deployment in handheld, mobile, and vehicle-mounted platforms further strengthens adoption. Additionally, most established backscatter products from leading vendors are single-view systems, reinforcing their dominant backscatter X-ray devices industry share.
