The global mine detection systems market was valued at USD 5 billion in 2023 and grew at a CAGR of 6% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 8.95 billion by 2033. The growing concerns about unexploded mines from historical wars will drive the growth of the global mine detection systems market.

Market Introduction:

Mine detection systems are modern tools which help in identifying and locating mines and unexploded ordnance, which are essential for humanitarian and military purposes. The mentioned systems consist of metal detectors, ground penetrating radar GPR, acoustic technique, infrared and thermal imaging, and biological detectors. Metal detectors locate metallic mines using differences in magnetic fields while the GPR employs the radar sections to give an image of the ground surface as it searches for mines. The acoustic methods determine the intensity of sound waves for identifying objects beneath the surface and the infrared and thermal imaging recognize differences in temperature on the surface due to presence of mines. Biological detection is largely done through animals like dogs that have undergone training in how to detect explosive compounds through their smelling sense. Plants also exhibit change in response to presence of explosive compounds. The optimization of these systems is made possible by integration with robotics and automation.

  • In order to provide technical support and Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) solutions for the engineering, manufacturing, and design (EMD) phase of the Korean Mine Countermeasures Helicopter (KMCH) program, Northrop Grumman Corporation announced that it has been awarded a contract by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). It is anticipated that the EMD phase would be finished in 2027. Because ALMDS can run in both day and night modes, it can achieve high area search rates. Additionally, the system offers precise target geolocation to facilitate the subsequent neutralization of mines that are discovered.
Platform Segment Analysis

The platform segment is divided into vehicle mounted, ship mounted, airborne mounted, and handheld. The handheld segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 35% in 2023. Handheld mine detection systems can be deployed in different locations – urban infrastructures, rural areas and other closed spaces. They provide accurate detection features. Pricing is another reason for their dominance as they are comparatively affordable. Another advantage of handheld systems is that they have relatively low costs and this makes them versatile for use. They also have less operational costs as they don’t require specifically fitted vehicles or complex network. Ease of use also bodes well for the segment. The handheld systems are quite compact in size and thus flexible to manoeuvre in areas that have tough terrains for operators to survey. Also, it is easy to operate and explain to personnel for optimal usage.

  • A drone and a land vehicle fitted with a mortar have been used in the US Army's remote landmine detection and dispersal system test. By neutralizing a mine from a standoff range, the Ground Obstacle Breaching Lane Neutralizer (GOBLN) idea lowers the risk for breaching forces. It consists of a tiny unmanned aircraft system-hosted detecting system, a neutralizing munition, and a mortar-based launching system incorporated onto a vehicle platform. At the Yuma Test Centre (YTC) in Arizona, the main goal of the test was to hit the mine.
Technology Segment Analysis

The technology segment is divided into ground penetration radar, microwave radiometer, metal detector, and others. The metal detector segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 38% in 2023. Metal detectors have the largest market share in the mine detection systems market since they are efficient, cheap and easy to use. metal detectors are very efficient in detecting the metallic part of the LMOs like casings and fuses regardless of the depth of burial. Owing to their high sensitivity and measures of discrimination they are ideal to be used in detecting various types of mines. Metal detectors are considerably cheaper due to which they are more mobile, affordable to different stakeholders – from NGOs to local demining teams. Operational expenses are lower too and due to this they do not need highly sophisticated equipment and parts to sustain. Metal detectors themselves are easy to use, they are based on rather simple principles and therefore the training usually does not take a lot of either time or effort. Their mobility makes it easier to deploy them especially in regions with numerous structures, and regions with huge open fields.

Type of mines Segment Analysis

The type of mines segment is divided into landmine, unexploded ordnance, abandoned ordnance, IED, and others. The landmine segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 39% in 2023. The alarmingly high prevalence of landmines drives the segment’s dominance. the immense danger they present to civilian lives and due to the disruption, they present in the lives of the affected communities there is emphasis placed on identifying and eliminating them. Detection technologies such as ‘metal detectors and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) are particularly designed to fit the challenges posed by landmines. Most of the mine detection methods and training strategies have been developed with landmines in mind in order to maximize effectiveness of technologies used.  Several treaties and conventions focus on issues of removing landmines and thus, there are sizeable funds and attention to these concerns.

End user Segment Analysis

The end user segment is divided into military, law enforcement, and others. The military segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 45% in 2023. The Military is the largest application segment worldwide for mine detection systems due to the large-scale usage in war zones and a constant requirement for better technologies. The principal use of the mine detection systems in military contexts involves facilitation of safe movements and conduct of operations in areas affected by landmines and UXO. These systems are important for demining in the post war theatres, in which they have the major responsibility of ensuring security of regions, guarding civilian populace and supporting rebuilding processes. Due to large financial commitment towards mine detection devices and systems including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems, robotic devices, and updated metal detectors, the military creates the requirements for the development of better technologies. This investment is unique due to the necessity for accurate and effective mine detection in military environments.
