The bomb disposal robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.99 billion in 2024 to $13.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to an increase in security concerns, increasing demand for multi-purpose functionality, increasing military modernization, rising geopolitical tensions, and rising military expenditure.

The bomb disposal robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising global terrorism, increasing territorial disputes, a growing focus on public safety, minimizing the risk to human operators, and integrations of combat support. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advances, integration with unmanned systems, advancement in robotics technology, integration of sensor systems, and development of autonomous capabilities.

The increasing incidence of terrorism is expected to drive the growth of the bomb disposal robot market in the coming years. Terrorism, defined as the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, particularly against civilians, to pursue political or ideological goals, is on the rise due to factors such as political instability, socioeconomic inequalities, extremist ideologies, the spread of advanced communication technologies, and cross-border conflicts. Bomb disposal robots play a critical role in countering terrorism, allowing for the safe and accurate handling of explosive devices, reducing risks to human lives, and effectively mitigating threats in high-risk situations. For instance, the Global Terrorism Index 2023, published by the Australia-based think tank Institute for Economics & Peace, reported that terrorist attacks became more lethal in 2023, with an average of 1.7 fatalities per incident, up from 1.3 in 2021. As a result, the growing threat of terrorism is fueling demand for bomb disposal robots.

Leading companies in the bomb disposal robot market are focused on developing innovative products, such as portable bomb disposal robots, to enhance mobility, safety, and versatility for military operations. These portable robots are remotely operated machines designed to safely detect, defuse, or dispose of explosives in hazardous environments and are used by military, law enforcement, and emergency response teams for bomb disposal, surveillance, and hazardous material handling. For example, in June 2024, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a U.S.-based company specializing in electronic components, instruments, and communication products, introduced the new SUGV 325 portable and modular robot. This robot offers improved mobility, with speeds up to 7 mph, and features an expandable IOP-compliant open architecture for customizable payloads. Its advanced sensors, durable design, and multi-robot control system enhance situational awareness and adaptability, making it suitable for various military applications.

In July 2024, LIG Nex1, an aerospace and defense company based in South Korea, acquired a 60% stake in Ghost Robotics for $240 million. This acquisition allows Ghost Robotics to continue its operations while utilizing LIG Nex1’s defense technologies and manufacturing capabilities to increase the production of its robotic solutions. These quadrupedal robots are designed for defense and security applications, including bomb disposal, and will improve operational efficiency in hazardous environments. Ghost Robotics is a technology company located in the United States that specializes in autonomous robotic solutions.
