Mine Detection System Market Report 2026

The mine detection system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.74 billion in 2025 to $6.06 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to post conflict landmine contamination, rising defense modernization programs, increased border security requirements, demand for safe troop mobility, historical reliance on manual mine clearance methods.

The mine detection system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing investment in unmanned detection systems, increasing homeland security threats, advancements in sensor fusion technologies, rising demand for faster mine clearance operations, expansion of defense budgets in emerging economies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of multi sensor mine detection systems, rising deployment of vehicle mounted and airborne detection platforms, growing use of ground penetrating radar technologies, expansion of drone based mine detection operations, enhanced focus on rapid and accurate mine localization.

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.

Major companies in the mine detection system market are focusing on incorporating advanced technologies such as seismic acoustic sensors to improve the accuracy of detecting landmines and IEDs. Seismic acoustic sensors identify ground vibrations and sound waves, enabling the detection of buried landmines or explosives by analyzing disturbances caused by footsteps, vehicles, or environmental movements. This enhances mine detection by making it safer, faster, and more precise in operational environments. For example, in January 2023, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, an Australia-based national science agency, developed new landmine detection technology. The system uses magnetic resonance to identify the molecular signatures of explosives found in landmines, offering a more accurate detection approach than traditional metal detectors. Designed to be faster and more reliable than conventional methods, this technology significantly improves the efficiency of mine clearance operations. It is being developed into a portable, handheld device that can be easily used by demining personnel in the field.

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.
