Dublin, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Mine Disposal Vehicle Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. The report presents comprehensive statistics and analysis, providing insights into global market size, regional distribution, competitive landscape, and trends.
The global mine disposal vehicle market has experienced substantial growth, increasing from $2.06 billion in 2025 to an anticipated $2.26 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. This upward trajectory is driven by enhanced deployments in landmine-affected areas, technological innovations in robotic arms and sensor systems, and rising defense budgets focusing on mobility and safety solutions. Crucially, successful field operations have demonstrated the operational efficiency and crew protection of armored vehicles.
Projecting ahead, the market is expected to reach $3.27 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.7%. Key factors contributing to future growth include the adoption of fully autonomous mine disposal vehicles, integration with real-time mapping and geolocation, and increased international humanitarian demining initiatives. Technological trends such as enhanced mine detection tech, demand for remote-controlled vehicles, and improved protective armor systems are also prominent. The expansion of operations in conflict zones and a focus on multimodal vehicle capabilities will further fuel market dynamics.
The sophistication of mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is anticipated to drive further demand. Non-state actors and insurgents leverage these devices in asymmetric warfare, heightening the necessity for advanced mine disposal solutions that offer autonomous capabilities. Reports in November 2023 noted 5,757 casualties from landmines or explosive remnants continued to escalate, increasing by 22% from the previous year. This surge underscores the growing importance of advanced disposal vehicles.
Industry contenders are intensifying efforts towards advanced autonomous vehicles, with UK-based Advanced Blast & Ballistic Systems unveiling the Dragon Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) in late 2023. This autonomous mine-clearing vehicle features a multi-wheeled drivetrain, compact design, and remote charging, prioritizing operational efficiency while ensuring personnel safety.
In a strategic move, Rheinmetall AG partnered with DOK-ING to develop cutting-edge unmanned disposal systems by combining expertise in defense technology with specialized mine clearance. This collaboration aims to enhance autonomous mine clearance capabilities, improving safety in hazardous environments.
Major market participants include BAE Systems plc, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH, Oshkosh Defense, Rheinmetall AG, Nexter Systems, and ST Engineering, among others. North America emerged as the leading region in the market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is forecasted to be the fastest growing, driven by significant advancements in technology and increased demand for security solutions.
