Counter IED Market — Key Findings
Analytical insights on Counter IED Market covering market dynamics, competitive landscape, and strategic outlook.
Key Analytical Findings
The Counter IED Market market is projected to reach $2.05B by 2023, growing at 2.8% CAGR.
Market Dynamics
The global market of counter IED is growing rapidly. The growth of the counter IED market is driven by increase in military spending, rising terrorist attacks and focus on counter operations, and increased use of unmanned systems for countering IEDs. However, the growth of the market can be hindered by factor such as Lack of trained unmanned systems pilots.
Market Drivers
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, global military spending rose by 1.1% as compared to 2016 to approximately USD 1.74 trillion in 2017. China, Saudi Arabia, and India increased their military spending by 5.6%, 9.2%, and 5.5%, respectively. Furthermore, India overtook the UK to become the fifth-largest defense spender in the world. Although there was a slight decline in defense spending, it is estimated that the US will spend significantly more on its military over the next two years and focus on the modernization of conventional and nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, other countries have plans to invest in advanced technologies and are focusing on expanding, modernizing, and enhancing the operational capability of their armed forces.
Factors such as ongoing conflicts in the Middle East & Africa, long-standing tensions, territorial disputes between countries in Asia-Pacific, and a focus on counterterrorism activities are pushing governments to strengthen their defense capabilities. A rise in military spending directly boosts the growth of the defense equipment industry, which covers everything from aircraft and weapons to counter IEDs.
Meanwhile, countries around the world are focusing on enhancing counter-terrorism measures to protect lives and ensure safety. Hence equipment such as counter IED systems is vital in detecting the IEDs implanted by the terrorists and jamming the RCIEDs. These systems are used in any land or maritime operation involving asymmetrical threats, in which force protection will remain a top priority. Moreover, the militaries of different countries are upgrading their existing counter IED systems with new and advanced one. Thus, increasing military spending is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Market Opportunities
The nature of warfare has changed significantly over the past decade. It is transforming from being weapon centric to technology-centric. Currently, the use of advanced technology is a key determining factor for the success rate of military missions. It helps in enhancing the situational awareness and reducing the number of casualties. As a result, the defense authorities around the world are focusing on procuring various equipment such as communication devices, navigation gadgets, upgraded weapon sights systems, counter systems, and exoskeleton systems which transforms common soldiers into high-tech warriors. The counter IEDs are one such system. Meanwhile, the companies are also focused on making new counter IED systems that are small, weighs less, consumes less power, and can detect IEDs more efficiently, which will help the soldiers to enhance their performance and help in delivering effective military operations. Hence, the changing nature of warfare offers promising growth opportunities for the market.
Market Restraints
Unmanned systems such as UAVs, UMVs, and UGVs are used for military as well as for civilian counter operations. These systems require a lot of skills and technics to perform such operations successfully. These systems are equipped with cameras; lights; IED detection sensors such as magnetometers and radar; manipulator arm, and other instruments. These allow the pilot to perform counter IED operations from the safe distance safely, thus, the use of these systems has been increasing from the last few years. Furthermore, due to the proliferation of UAVs in military operations has created a growing demand for trained pilots and technicians since they are also responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of the equipment, respectively. However, there are not many trained pilots available to perform military operations. For instance, the US Air Force require 511 fighter jet pilots and approximately 200 more drone pilots in order to carry out current missions adequately. Therefore, due to a lack of trained pilots, the market growth is expected to be hampered to some extent.
Strategic Outlook and Future Directions
Near-term growth will likely concentrate in modular bioreactor lines and closed-system media workflows that shorten validation cycles while preserving batch traceability.
Partnerships between CDMOs and instrumentation vendors should accelerate standard datasets for comparability across sites, improving forecasting models used in capacity planning.
Longer horizon, organoid and microphysiological adoption may reshape segment mix; teams that invest early in assay interoperability and cloud QC hooks are better positioned to capture upside without fragmenting their analytics stack.
