COVID-19 Impact on Air Cargo Security and Screening Systems Market
Due to Covid-19, the international trade has dropped significantly during 2020 and is expected to recover slowly over the next two to three years. As the international trade and commerce business sector is witnessing sluggish growth, the demand for air cargo security and screening systems is expected to slow down during the first half of the forecast period till 2022. Due to ongoing pandemic, air passenger traffic has reduced drastically and is one of the major factors expected to hamper the market growth in short term. Covid-19 has impacted global economies significantly in 2020 and is likely to affect the capital expenditures of many emerging economies across the globe. For instance, India is one of the fastest growing markets for air cargo security and screening systems on account of several planned airport infrastructure projects. However, it is expected that country will witness negative growth in their GDP, which will in turn affect the investment on airport infrastructure projects in coming years.
