Explosive Trace Detectors Market: Mass Spectrometry and Advanced Screening Technologies

The global explosive trace detectors market size is likely to be valued at US$2.0 billion in 2026 and is expected to reach US$3.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period from 2026 to 2033, driven by increasing terrorism threats, the implementation of stringent aviation and border security regulations by authorities such as the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and rising investments in the protection of critical infrastructure. Advancements in detection technologies, including improvements in sensitivity, specificity, and portability, have enhanced adoption across commercial and defense sectors. Aviation security continues to account for a significant portion of deployments.
