Counter-Ied Market Outlook 2025-2034: Market Share, and Growth Analysis By Capability (Detection, Counter Measures), By Deployment Type (Vehicle Mounted IED Detection System, Ship Mounted IED Detection System, Aircraft Mounted IED Detection System, Handhe

The Counter-Ied Market is valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% to reach USD 2.2 billion by 2034.The global counter-IED (Improvised Explosive Device) market is driven by the persistent threat of IEDs used in terrorist attacks, asymmetric warfare, and criminal activities worldwide. Counter-IED encompasses a wide range of technologies, equipment, and strategies aimed at preventing, detecting, neutralizing, and mitigating the effects of IEDs. The growth of this market is influenced by ongoing geopolitical instability, the spread of extremist ideologies, and the increasing sophistication of IED tactics. Governments, military forces, law enforcement agencies, and homeland security organizations are investing in counter-IED capabilities to protect personnel, infrastructure, and civilian populations. The market includes areas such as threat detection (e.g., bomb disposal robots, electronic countermeasures), protection (e.g., armored vehicles, personal protective equipment), and post-blast forensics. North America and Europe have historically been significant markets due to defense spending and counter-terrorism efforts. The Middle East and Asia Pacific are experiencing rapid growth due to regional conflicts and the increasing threat of IED attacks. The market involves numerous defense contractors, technology providers, and security firms.
