Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots are specialized mobile robotic systems designed to perform bomb disposal tasks, thereby reducing the need for human operators in dangerous situations. These robots are equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and manipulator arms to detect, handle, and safely manage explosive materials from a safe distance, thereby minimizing risks to human life.
The main types of EOD robots are remote-controlled and automatic EOD robots. Remote-controlled EOD robots are manually operated devices that enable the inspection and neutralization of explosive threats from a distance. They are utilized in various contexts, including anti-terrorism, battlefield operations, and security situations. Key end-users of these robots include military forces and law enforcement agencies.
The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market statistics, including explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market share, detailed explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots industry. This explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $10.03 billion in 2024 to $11.48 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the growing need to minimize the risk to human operators, growing security concerns, increase in terrorism activity, rising efficient bomb disposal mechanisms, and rising defense expenditures.
The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of the urban environment, growing adoption of unmanned systems in military operations, growing focus on public safety, growing investments in the defense sector, and increasing security threats. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing integration of AI and machine learning, advancement in robotics technology, integration with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), growing focus on modular and upgradeable systems, and increasing R&D activities.
The rising incidence of terrorism is expected to drive growth in the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot market. Terrorism involves the use of violence or threats to instill fear and disrupt society, often for political, religious, or ideological reasons. Contributing factors include political instability, socioeconomic disparities, extremist ideologies, and cross-border conflicts. EOD robots are utilized to safely detect, disarm, and neutralize explosive devices during terrorist attacks, thereby reducing risks to human personnel and preventing potential harm. For example, the global terrorism index report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), an Australia-based organization that develops metrics for peace analysis, noted in March 2023 that the average number of deaths per terrorist attack increased by 0.4 in 2022, with an average of 1.7 deaths per attack compared to 1.3 in 2021. Additionally, 6,701 deaths were reported due to terrorist activities in 2022. Consequently, the rising incidence of terrorism is expected to fuel growth in the EOD robot market.
Leading companies in the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot market are increasingly incorporating advanced technologies, such as low-light cameras and infrared (IR) systems, to improve the operational capabilities of their robots. These enhancements provide EOD robots with better visibility in dimly lit or obscured environments, enabling them to detect potential threats and function effectively during nighttime or adverse weather conditions. For example, in February 2024, DOK-ING, a Croatia-based robotics firm, introduced the MV-4 versatile EOD robot at WDS. This robot is equipped with advanced technology, featuring remote operation capabilities and a durable design to endure challenging conditions.
In December 2023, Cadre Holdings, a US-based manufacturing company, acquired ICOR Technology for an undisclosed amount. Cadre Holdings' acquisition of ICOR Technology aims to strengthen its position in the safety and survivability equipment sector by integrating ICOR's advanced explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots into its product lineup. ICOR Technology is a US-based company that manufactures explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots, focusing on enhancing public safety and security.
