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.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are affecting the explosive ordnance disposal robots market by increasing costs of imported robotic actuators, precision motors, sensors, communication modules, and ruggedized electronic components. Defense and law enforcement agencies in North America and Europe are particularly impacted due to reliance on specialized foreign suppliers, while Asia-Pacific manufacturers face higher component sourcing costs. These tariffs have raised unit prices and slowed procurement cycles for advanced EOD robots. At the same time, tariffs are supporting domestic robotics manufacturing, encouraging localized assembly, and driving innovation in cost-efficient and modular robotic platforms.
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 $11.32 billion in 2025 to $12.85 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing military modernization programs, rising demand for personnel safety in bomb disposal, adoption of remote-controlled robotics, availability of ruggedized robotic platforms, growth in counter-terrorism operations.
The explosive ordnance disposal (eod) robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of autonomous robotic systems, rising investments in AI-driven defense technologies, expansion of urban security applications, growing use in civilian law enforcement, continuous advancement in robotic mobility systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of autonomous navigation capabilities, rising integration of advanced sensor fusion systems, expansion of lightweight and modular robot designs, growing use of ai-assisted decision support, enhanced focus on remote operation reliability.
The rising incidence of terrorism is expected to drive the growth of the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot market in the coming years. Terrorism involves the use of violence or threats to instill fear and disrupt society, often motivated by political, religious, or ideological objectives. Factors such as political instability, socioeconomic inequalities, extremist ideologies, and cross-border conflicts contribute to the prevalence of terrorism. EOD robots are deployed in terrorist incidents to safely detect, disarm, and neutralize explosive devices, reducing risks to human personnel and preventing potential damage. For instance, in 2024, the Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australia-based independent non-profit think tank, reported that terrorist attacks in 2023 became more lethal, averaging 2.5 deaths per attack, up from 1.6 in 2022. Therefore, the increasing incidence of terrorism is propelling the growth of 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.
