Mine Detection System Market Report 2025

The mine detection system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.52 billion in 2024 to $5.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased causalities from landmines, a rise in military land clearance operations, increased military expenditure, advancements in mine detection systems, and increased terrorist activities.

The mine detection system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased causalities from landmines, a rise in military land clearance operations, increased military expenditure, advancements in mine detection systems, and increased terrorist activities. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on integrating mine detection systems with AI technology, a focus on using innovative and cutting-edge technologies, a focus on introducing innovative products, a focus on 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 boost the mine detection system market. This trend is encouraging companies to create advanced mine detection systems that can seamlessly integrate with autonomous vehicles. For example, in July 2023, Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, in collaboration with MSME, a defense research organization based in India, launched an autonomous underwater vehicle named Neerakshi. This vehicle is specifically designed for detecting underwater mines and has the potential to be equipped for mine disposal in future versions. Thus, the increasing use of unmanned and autonomous technologies is expected to propel the growth of the mine detection system market.

Technological advancements are becoming increasingly prominent in the mine detection system market. A wide range of innovative technologies is being employed to detect landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including seismic acoustic sensors, optical sensors, radar technology, electromagnetic sensors, and chemical sensors, among others. For example, in October 2021, South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) developed a man-portable mine detector known as the PRS-20K system, which can detect both metallic and non-metallic mines. Additionally, in January 2023, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), an Australian national science agency, introduced new landmine detection technology. This device utilizes magnetic resonance to identify the molecular signatures of explosives found in landmines, offering a more accurate detection method compared to traditional metal detectors. Designed to be faster and more reliable than conventional methods, this technology significantly enhances the efficiency of mine clearance operations and is being developed into a portable, handheld device that can be easily used by demining personnel in the field.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is becoming increasingly popular in the mine detection system market. Companies in this sector are focused on integrating AI technology into mine detection systems to address the rising demand for advanced solutions. For instance, in September 2024, Safe Pro Group, a US-based drone manufacturing company, launched SpotlightAI. This system utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to autonomously detect and identify more than 150 types of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from aerial imagery. The technology can quickly process images collected by drones, enabling rapid detection, labeling, and GPS tagging of mines, which significantly accelerates the demining process. Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the platform is designed to scale for processing large datasets and supports global operations, making it well-suited for various conflict zones.

In August 2024, Northrop Grumman Corporation, an aerospace and defense technology company based in Australia, announced a partnership with Genohco to bolster the Republic of Korea's Mine Countermeasures Helicopter (KMCH) program. This collaboration aims to provide technical support and solutions during the engineering, manufacturing, and design phases of the KMCH program, which is vital for enhancing South Korea's mine countermeasure capabilities. Genohco is a Korea-based company specializing in aerospace and defense manufacturing.

Mine detection involves the identification, discovery, and provision of additional information about diverse types of mines. The system employed for this purpose is designed to locate mines that are buried or concealed.

The primary deployment categories for mine detection systems encompass vehicle-mounted, ship-mounted, airborne-mounted, and handheld systems. Vehicle-mounted systems are particularly utilized for detecting landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), offering high probability of detection (PD) and a low false alarm rate (FAR). These systems find applications in defense and homeland security. In terms of technology, mine detection systems can be classified as radar-based, laser-based, and sonar-based. Based on detection capability, these systems are further categorized as above surface and underground.
