Dublin, Jan. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Threat Detection Instruments Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) threat detection instruments market has witnessed robust growth, with its market size projected to rise from $2.73 billion in 2025 to $3.03 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 11%. This growth is fueled by increasing global concerns over CBRNE threats and the adoption of detection instruments by military and homeland security agencies. Technological advancements, safety regulations, and partnerships between manufacturers and government bodies have also contributed significantly.
Looking ahead, the CBRNE market is set to expand to $4.51 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 10.5%. The future growth trajectory is expected to be driven by the emergence of multi-threat, real-time detection systems, integration with AI for predictive assessments, and rising demand from industrial and public safety sectors. Key trends include the miniaturization of detection instruments and the shift towards rugged, field-deployable platforms, alongside a growing market for maintenance and consulting services.
Security threats including rising terrorism are anticipated to propel market expansion. CBRNE detection tools are crucial in mitigating these threats, offering early detection and proactive countermeasures. The escalating lethality of terrorist attacks, as documented by the Institute for Economics and Peace, underscores the need for advanced detection technologies.
Leading CBRNE companies are forming strategic collaborations to enhance detection systems. Notably, Smiths Detection Group Ltd. and Riskaware Limited launched UrbanAware, a platform for real-time hazard intelligence. Also, the Norwegian Ministry of Defence partnered with Watchbird AS to develop next-gen sensor systems, underscoring the collaborative trend in the sector.
Prominent market players include Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Honeywell International Inc., and 3M Company among others, who are steering the market with innovative solutions and strategic partnerships.
Regionally, North America leads the market, but Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth. Changing trade relations and tariffs present challenges by inflating costs of components such as sensors and disrupting supply chains, yet they also drive local manufacturing and innovation.
The market is documented comprehensively in a series of reports providing insights into global market size, regional shares, competition, and emerging trends. These reports also analyze the impact of geopolitical shifts, offering strategic recommendations for market participants.
The CBRNE threat detection instruments industry encompasses fixed, handheld, and portable devices, applying technologies like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. They are broadly utilized across sectors, including industrial, military, and emergency services. Key geographic markets include the USA, UK, Germany, China, and Japan, among others.
Lastly, revenues in this market arise from the sales and services of detection instruments, with values reflecting the factory gate price achieved by manufacturers. As the industry evolves, it continues to address critical global safety and security challenges while adapting to a dynamic marketplace.
