Mine detection involves the identification, discovery, and provision of additional information about diverse types of mines. The system employed for this purpose is designed to locate mines that are buried or concealed.
The primary deployment categories for mine detection systems encompass vehicle-mounted, ship-mounted, airborne-mounted, and handheld systems. Vehicle-mounted systems are particularly utilized for detecting landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), offering high probability of detection (PD) and a low false alarm rate (FAR). These systems find applications in defense and homeland security. In terms of technology, mine detection systems can be classified as radar-based, laser-based, and sonar-based. Based on detection capability, these systems are further categorized as above surface and underground.
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 have influenced the mine detection system market by increasing costs for imported sensors, radar components, electronic subsystems, and specialized detection platforms. These impacts have been most pronounced in defense and homeland security segments across regions such as Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East that rely on cross border procurement of advanced technologies. Higher costs have slowed procurement cycles and system upgrades in some countries. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged domestic manufacturing, localized assembly, and strategic sourcing partnerships, supporting long term supply chain security.
The mine detection system market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides mine detection system market statistics, including mine detection system industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a mine detection system market share, detailed mine detection system market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the mine detection system industry. This mine detection system 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 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.
