Mine Detection System Global Market Report 2024

The mine detection system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.34 billion in 2023 to $5.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to heightened casualties resulting from landmines, an increase in military land clearance operations, a rise in military expenditure, advancements in mine detection systems, and an escalation in terrorist activities.

The mine detection system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to an upsurge in casualties resulting from landmines, an increase in military land clearance operations, heightened military expenditure, advancements in mine detection systems, and an escalation in terrorist activities. Key trends projected for the forecast period involve a concentration on integrating mine detection systems with AI technology, emphasis on leveraging innovative and cutting-edge technologies, a focus on introducing novel products, dedication to research and development, and a focus on mergers and acquisitions.

The expansion of military land clearance operations is playing a significant role in the growth of the mine detection system market. The increasing prevalence of security threats and border disputes has led to a surge in military land clearance operations aimed at detecting improvised explosive devices and traditional Anti-Tank (AT) mines. As of July 2021, the Government of India reported that the Ministry of Defence oversees vast land areas, approximately 1.795 million acres, dedicated to land clearance training operations and other military training. Consequently, the heightened focus on land clearance operations is propelling the demand for mine detection technology, thereby driving the mine detection system market.

The adoption of unmanned and autonomous technologies is anticipated to be a driving force in the mine detection system market. This trend is prompting companies to develop advanced mine detection systems that can seamlessly integrate with autonomous vehicles. For instance, in May 2021, the US Navy initiated the Littoral Combat Ship Mission Modules (LCS MM) Program, which involves the procurement of 48 unmanned surface vehicles (USV) designed for both Unmanned Mine Sweeping (UMS) and Remote Mine Hunting (RMH) modules to carry out mine-hunting missions. Consequently, the incorporation of unmanned and autonomous technologies is contributing to the overall growth of the mine detection system market.

The mine detection system market is witnessing a significant trend towards technological advancements. Various innovative technologies, such as seismic acoustic sensors, optical sensors, radar technology, electromagnetic sensors, chemical sensors, and others, are being employed for the detection of landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). As an example, in October 2021, South Korea's Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) introduced the PRS-20K system, a man-portable mine detector capable of identifying both metallic and non-metallic mines.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is gaining prominence in the mine detection system market, with companies focusing on integrating AI with mine detection systems to meet the growing demand for advanced solutions. In February 2021, Pearson Engineering, a UK-based civil engineering firm, launched 'Threat-Sense' and 'Threat-Pathway,' a camera-based mine detection system designed to enable any military vehicle to detect and counter scatterable mine threats. The detection component, Threat-Sense, employs artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms to analyze camera feeds, identify surface threats, and display them on a screen.

In September 2021, Raytheon Technologies, a US-based aerospace and defense company, acquired SEAKR Engineering, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Raytheon Technologies to enhance its core space business by offering qualified systems. SEAKR Engineering, Inc. is a US-based aerospace manufacturer.
