According to our latest market study on “Global Mine Detection System Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Deployment, Detection Capability, and End User,” the market is expected to grow from US$ 4,870.78 million in 2021 to US$ 8,286.55 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2021 to 2028.

The Middle East & Africa (MEA) mine detection system market is categorized into Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, and the Rest of MEA. The increased military expenditures are channeled into modern military resources, including equipment and vehicles. The rising conflicts across national borders have also boosted military expenditure. These factors are contributing to the growth of the MEA mine detection system market.

Apart from acquiring new and advanced mine detection systems, countries in the MEA have also strengthened their research & development expenditure for developing advanced mine detection systems. An international team at the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi is developing a low-cost, simple-to-assemble rover that can identify unexploded landmines. Similarly, the UAE and Israel signed a contract in November 2021 to develop unmanned military and commercial vessels, which are likely to be integrated with intelligence, surveillance, and mine detection systems. South Africa accounted for a significant share in the Middle East & Africa mine detection system market due to its rise in military expenditure and the presence of mine detection system manufacturers across the country.

Military forces, such as the US Army, have been using the Husky 2G for their mine detection activities for a few years. Similarly, Denel Mechem is a South African mine detection system market player, offering advanced mine detection equipment. These factors are further contributing to the growth of the South Africa mine detection system market. Saudi Arabia has the highest military expenditure across the region over the last decade according to the data published by SPIRI. The country utilizes a significant share of its military expenditure in acquiring and developing mine detection systems. For instance, in March 2022, at the World Defence Show (WDS) 2022 in Saudi Arabia, armoured and mine-detection vehicle specialist DCD demonstrated its explosives and landmine detection capabilities. Similarly, Saudi Arabia under the US FMS scheme acquired Husky 2G vehicle which is a vehicle-mounted mine detection vehicle back in 2017. These factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the Saudi Arabia mine detection system market.

The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the MEA military technology industry. Governments of the Middle Eastern & African countries imposed lockdowns in early 2020 to curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2, which disrupted the defense industry ecosystem.

The region has a high supply of mine detection systems because the most common vehicle-mounted Husky vehicles (manufactured by DCD Group) used for mine detection by various countries are manufactured in South Africa. The decrease in the manufacturing of automotive products & components has severely impacted the vehicle-mounted mine detection system market size. This is one of the key factors decreasing the revenues due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The South America (SAM) mine detection system market is bifurcated into Brazil and the Rest of SAM. The rise in military expenditure is propelling the mine detection system market in this region. According to data published by SIPRI in 2020, Brazil accounted for the highest military expenditure across the region, followed by Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Peru. South American countries can utilize these elevated military budgets to modernize military & naval activities and acquire new & advanced military weapons, vessels, and other equipment, including mine detection systems. The Brazilian Navy, in September 2020, announced its new 20-year plan to boost the country’s Defense Technological and Industrial Base (DTIB). The plan includes acquiring mine-hunting ships, Antarctic support ships, aircraft carriers, escort ships, logistics support ships, training ships, survey ships, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Thus, the rise in investment by SAM countries to acquire new and advanced vessels & equipment is expected to contribute to the mine detection system market growth in this region.

Key Findings of Study: Mine Detection System Market Growth

The global mine detection system market is segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and SAM. North America dominated the mine detection system market in 2020; it is also expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Europe held the second-largest share in the global mine detection system market, followed by APAC, MEA, and SAM. Based on deployment, the handheld segment led the mine detection system market with a share of more than ~75% in 2020.

Mine countermeasures are undergoing a major transformation, owing to the evolution of disruptive technologies, from traditional mine hunting with grey ship minehunters to unmanned autonomous vehicle utilization for the same. Unmanned and autonomous systems that operate above and below the water have steadily progressed over the previous decade, reaching degrees of maturity that are now capable of being used as a mine detector. Ensuring the safety of naval personnel and keeping them out of casualty are the most critical aspects of mine countermeasures. The use of unmanned and autonomous technologies is a huge step forward in this arena. This has influenced companies such as Thales group to offer mine detection products that can be easily integrated with autonomous vehicles.

For instance, the Thales Group offers M-CUBE, which is a mine countermeasure management system. The open, modular architecture of the M-CUBE mission system ensures effective management of even the most complicated activities. Its full functionality, which incorporates cutting-edge technology, covers all elements of mine countermeasure missions, including planning, execution, supervision, assessment, debriefing, and training. M-CUBE is easily configured to fit any type of deployed sensor and comes with a variety of built-in support tools. It significantly minimizes operator workload while assuring maximum efficiency and safety. Similarly, in December 2020, The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) of South Korea announced its intentions to begin indigenous development of a mine-detecting autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Thus, such factors are expected to contribute to the growth of the global mine detection system market over the forecast period.

The North America region comprises of the largest spending country in military technologies i.e. the US. The year on year significant investments toward military technologies by the US government, is one of the major reasons behind the continuous growth of military systems. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the US military expenditure stood at US$ 778 Billion, as per SIPRI. Moreover, the US is known for its military power and highest spending in defense technology. The US has high adoption of handheld and vehicle mounted mine detection systems which uses technologies such as optical sensors, radar systems, among other. The disruption in supply chain of mine detection system component halted the production of mine detection systems during the initial months of COVID-19 outbreak.
