An increase in terrorist activity is driving the market growth for mine & IED detection systems
Worldwide, there are a rising number of terrorist groups that are harming people. Since they can be used in various ways, improvised explosive devices are the new rage in these organizations. Recent IED explosions have severely injured people in nations including India, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, and others. The US has significantly invested in destroying IEDs due to the Afghan War. Our figures show that terrorism killed an estimated 26,445 people in 2017 across the globe. The average annual mortality rate throughout the previous ten years was 21,000 individuals. However, there may be a sizable variance from year to year. The death rate fluctuated over this decade, from 7,827 in 2010 to 44,490 in 2014. Recently, some terrorist groups have tried to increase their regional footprint in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Africa. Terrorist safe havens endanger the community. They serve as breeding grounds for harmful ideologies and hotbeds of oppression for local communities. These safer locations have been used to plot and coordinate several terrorist attacks against nearby towns and other nations. Countries are investing in IED detection and neutralization, as well as in locating and disabling the networks that support threats related to these devices, as well as in force preparation and protection. As a result, the worldwide mine & IED detection system market CAGR is expanding due soaring increase in terrorism.
Additionally, future market growth for mine & IED detection systems is anticipated to be driven by sensor technology in defense. Modern technology is preferred by military services for outdoor applications. Sensor technology is used in nearly all applications in the research and development stage. Numerous sensor technologies have a variety of applications in the land, air, marine, and space sectors. The defense sector in industrialized nations like the US gives standard and specially engineered standard items priority. The military's growing need for demining services somewhat accelerates the market's growth rate. The need for mine-detecting systems is developing globally due to increasing security threats and border disputes. These technologies are becoming more and more in demand to find IEDs and conventional anti-tank mines. Thus, driving the Mine & IED Detection System market revenue.
The Mine & IED Detection System market segmentation, based on deployment, includes Vehicle Mounted, Hand Held, and Biological Based. In 2022, the handheld market share was higher. Due to their inexpensive cost and extensive use by homeland security, handheld devices appeal to mine-detecting sources in high demand. Mine detection devices have become increasingly necessary in recent years. These detectors have been used by military personnel and homeland security personnel for many years. The mine-detecting system market is anticipated to be driven in the coming years as end consumers continue to purchase these detectors. During the projection period, there will likely be an increase in the need for autonomous maritime vehicles with mine detection and surveillance capabilities on the battlefield.
The Mine & IED Detection System market segmentation, based on application, includes Defense, Homeland Security . Due to the persistent fear of IED blasts during cross-country operations, the defence sector in many countries is the primary end-user of various types of mine and IED detecting equipment and gadgets. Additionally, there is an increase in demand for IEDs in the homeland security industry, notably in nations like Israel, India, and others that are vulnerable to terrorism. To combat IED attacks in terrorist-infested areas, India, for instance, continuously invests in counter-IED technologies and purchases MRAP trucks with counter-IED capabilities.
