Counter-IED Market to Grow with a CAGR of 2.71% through 2030

The increasing demand for advanced detection systems, rising defense budgets, and growing geopolitical tensions are the factors driving the Counter-IED market in the forecast period 2026-2030.

According to TechSci Research report, “Counter-IED Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F” the Global Counter-IED Market was valued at USD 2.21 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.59 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 2.71% during the forecast period. The global Counter-IED market is experiencing substantial growth as nations and defense agencies intensify efforts to combat the rising threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in both military and civilian settings. The increasing use of IEDs by insurgent groups, terrorists, and criminal organizations has escalated the need for robust solutions that can detect, neutralize, and mitigate the impact of these threats. This heightened demand is driving the adoption of advanced technologies, such as radar systems, robotic demining tools, and cutting-edge detection sensors, all aimed at providing real-time protection and improving operational efficiency.

A key factor fueling market growth is the growing focus on force protection in military operations. As modern warfare increasingly involves irregular tactics and insurgencies, defense forces worldwide are prioritizing the development of comprehensive countermeasures to ensure the safety of personnel and critical infrastructure. This has led to significant investments in the research and development of multi-layered Counter-IED systems, which combine various detection, neutralization, and protection technologies into integrated solutions. Such systems are designed to operate effectively in complex environments, including urban settings, where IED threats are prevalent.

Technological advancements are playing a crucial role in shaping the Counter-IED market. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into detection systems has enhanced the speed and accuracy of identifying explosive devices. These technologies can analyze large volumes of data from various sensors, improving decision-making processes and increasing the likelihood of preventing attacks. Additionally, unmanned systems, such as drones and robots, are becoming vital components in the detection and disarming of IEDs, providing safer alternatives to manual operations. The trend towards automation and autonomy in these systems is expected to continue as technology evolves.

The Counter-IED Market is segmented into capability, deployment, and region.

Based on deployment, the fastest-growing segment in the Global Counter-IED market in 2024 was vehicle-mounted systems. Vehicle-mounted Counter-IED solutions are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide continuous protection in high-risk environments. These systems offer enhanced mobility and effectiveness, enabling military forces to detect, neutralize, and mitigate IED threats while on the move. The demand for vehicle-mounted systems is driven by the need for rapid mobility and protection in dynamic, unpredictable battlefields. These solutions are particularly beneficial in conflict zones where forces need to travel across large areas, ensuring they are shielded from potential explosive threats. The integration of advanced radar, jamming systems, and real-time data analytics in vehicle-mounted platforms allows for more comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities. The ability to operate in a range of environments, from urban landscapes to remote areas, further boosts their popularity among defense agencies.

The growing adoption of vehicle-mounted systems is also influenced by the increasing focus on force protection and minimizing casualties in military operations. These systems not only enhance the safety of soldiers but also improve the operational efficiency of military units deployed in conflict zones. With the ongoing advancements in automation and AI, vehicle-mounted solutions are becoming smarter, capable of independently identifying and neutralizing IEDs with minimal human intervention. As defense agencies look for more robust and adaptive solutions to counter the evolving threat of IEDs, vehicle-mounted systems are expected to dominate the market and drive significant growth in 2024.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific was the fastest-growing market for Counter-IED solutions in 2024. The region is witnessing a surge in military modernization programs and defense spending, which is propelling the demand for advanced Counter-IED technologies. With ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in areas such as the South China Sea, and the increasing presence of insurgent groups in countries like Afghanistan and Myanmar, the need for effective Counter-IED solutions has never been more urgent. Asia-Pacific countries are increasingly prioritizing force protection for their military personnel and infrastructure, leading to significant investments in vehicle-mounted and handheld Counter-IED systems. Furthermore, the region's rapidly growing defense budgets are facilitating the procurement of cutting-edge technologies that can address the unique challenges posed by IED threats. As conflicts become more complex and asymmetrical, the adoption of sophisticated Counter-IED systems in Asia-Pacific will continue to rise, making it a key driver of market growth in 2024.
