The counter-IED market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $1.41 billion in 2024 to $1.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to global terrorism threats, military operations in conflict zones, government initiatives and spending, the increasing sophistication of IEDs, and international collaboration.
The counter-IED market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to military modernization programs, urban warfare challenges, critical infrastructure protection, and the adoption of unmanned systems. Major trends in the forecast period include enhanced CBRNE detection capabilities, global collaboration in counter-terrorism efforts, emphasis on disrupting supply chains, development of lightweight and portable solutions, application of machine learning in threat analysis, and integration of multi-sensor fusion.
The growth of the counter-IED market is anticipated to be propelled by the increase in military spending. Military spending, encompassing current and capital investments in armed forces, experienced a 0.7% real-term increase in 2021, reaching $2.11 trillion globally, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's report in April 2022. This surge in military spending signifies a growing investment in military measures and resources, driving the demand for counter-IED equipment as part of broader counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, or law enforcement efforts.
The increasing threats of terrorism are anticipated to drive the growth of the counter-IED market in the future. Terrorism threats refer to potential or imminent dangers posed by individuals, groups, or organizations involved in terrorism or planning to execute acts of terrorism. Counter-IED measures are typically implemented by military, law enforcement, and security agencies to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks that utilize improvised explosive devices (IEDs). For example, in 2023, the Global Terrorism Index from the Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australia-based think tank, reported that terrorist attacks became more lethal in 2022, resulting in an average of 1.7 fatalities per attack compared to 1.3 in 2021. Consequently, the rising threats of terrorism are fueling the expansion of the counter-IED market.
The rising adoption of unmanned systems is projected to drive the growth of the counter-IED market in the coming years. Unmanned systems are defined as vehicles, aircraft, vessels, or devices that function without a human operator on board. These systems are vital for countering Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) by offering enhanced capabilities in detection, reconnaissance, and neutralization. For example, in June 2023, the Institute for Economics & Peace, a global think tank based in Sydney, reported a 40.8% increase in the total number of drone attacks in 2022, along with a 24% rise in the diversity of groups employing drones. Thus, the growing use of unmanned systems is propelling the expansion of the counter-IED market.
Major players in the counter-IED market are directing their efforts toward the development of innovative solutions, exemplified by offerings such as C-Guard Microsystems. The introduction of manpack counter-IED devices, portable or wearable systems designed for countering IEDs, is a notable trend in this market. In November 2023, Netline Communications Technologies Ltd, an Israel-based electronic countermeasures manufacturing company, announced the launch of 'C-Guard Modular Manpack.' This Electronic Warfare (EW) system is tailored to address challenges posed by IEDs and adversarial drones, featuring comprehensive jamming capabilities in a compact and portable design suitable for military and law enforcement applications.
Major companies are forging partnerships to develop new products and enhance their market positions. Strategic partnerships involve the collaboration of companies to leverage each other’s strengths and resources, fostering mutual benefits and success. A notable example occurred in February 2022 when DroneShield, an Australia-based Counterdrone Defense solutions provider, partnered with Allen-Vanguard, a Canada-based provider of Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) solutions. This collaboration aimed to deliver a complete offering of Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) and C-IED solutions, utilizing integrated technical solutions and commercial distribution strategies. The partnership enhances the ability of both companies to present a more comprehensive package to their current customers and explore collaborative opportunities in marketing channels.
