The bomb disposal robot market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for bomb disposal robots has experienced swift expansion in the recent past. It is projected to expand from $11.99 billion in 2024 to $13.61 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%.
The notable growth during the past years is due to an upswing in security issues, a growing need for multi-purpose functionality, advances in military modernization, escalating geopolitical conflicts, and an increase in military expenditure.
The bomb disposal robot market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Forecasts indicate a swift expansion in the bomb disposal robot market over the forthcoming years, projecting a rise to $22.36 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%.
This predicted growth throughout the forecast period can be ascribed to factors such as escalating worldwide terrorism, amplifying territorial quarrels, an increased emphasis on public safety, reducing risks to human operators, and incorporation of combat support. Dominant trends during the projection period encompass technological progress, amalgamation with unmanned systems, progress in robotics, integration of sensor systems, and evolution of autonomous capabilities.

The increase in terrorist activities is projected to fuel the expansion of the bomb disposal robot market in the future. Terrorism, defined as the illicit use of force and threats, particularly against ordinary citizens, in pursuit of political or ideological goals, is seeing a surge. This increase can be traced back to various factors including political instability, socioeconomic discrepancies, radical beliefs, the spread of cutting-edge communication technologies, and international conflicts. Bomb disposal robots play a crucial role in tackling terrorism, allowing for the secure and accurate handling of explosive materials, reducing the hazard to human lives, and ensuring effective threat containment in high-risk scenarios. For example, in March 2023, the Global Terrorism Index 2023, released by the Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australian research and education-based think tank, reported an increase in the lethality of terrorist attacks in 2022, with an average of 1.7 fatalities per occurrence, up from 1.3 fatalities per assault in 2021. Thus, the escalating incidence of terrorism is fuelling the growth of the bomb disposal robot market.
