CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) Security Global Market Report 2024

The cbrn (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) security market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.28 billion in 2023 to $20.03 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. During the historical period, the growth in the field of CBRN security can be attributed to various factors, including the frequency of incidents related to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear threats, the geopolitical climate, increasing public awareness about these threats, economic influences, and the insights gained from lessons learned from past incidents and their aftermaths.

The cbrn (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) security market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming period in CBRN security is expected due to several factors, such as shifts in the global threat landscape, changes in regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements, increasing public concern and demand for enhanced security measures, economic conditions affecting security investments, and ongoing research and development efforts. Key trends projected in the forecast period encompass collaborative research initiatives aimed at improving security measures, heightened awareness and preparedness among stakeholders, an acceleration in innovation to counter evolving threats, and the need for adaptability in response to a dynamic threat landscape.

The CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) security market is poised for growth due to the escalating threat of terrorism. Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence to instill fear and achieve specific political or social objectives. The implementation of CBRN security measures enhances border and customs control security, fortifying key international instruments against CBRN terrorism and the detection of illicit trafficking of CBRN weapons and materials. As of March 2022, the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) reported a global increase in terrorist attacks, reaching 5,226 in 2021, with Sub-Saharan Africa accounting for 48% of global terrorism deaths. Additionally, according to the US Customs and Border Protection Enforcement Statistics 2022, total enforcement actions surged from 646,822 in 2020 to 2,493,721 in 2022. This surge in terrorism threats is a key driver fueling the growth of the CBRN security market.

The CBRN security market is also expected to be driven by the rise in incidents involving chemical spills. Chemical spills, the unintended release of hazardous substances into the environment, are becoming more frequent. This trend is stimulating investments in CBRN security solutions, including advanced detection technologies, regulatory compliance measures, government initiatives, technological innovations, and an increased focus on public safety. Notably, in December 2022, the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) reported a substantial increase in reportable chemical incidents, reaching a total of 36 events. This represents a significant surge compared to the corresponding months in the two previous fiscal years. The increasing occurrences of chemical spills are anticipated to propel the growth of the CBRN security market.

Technological innovations are emerging as a key trend in the CBRN security market, with major companies focusing on developing new solutions to reinforce their market positions. An example of this trend is the initiative by The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a US-based office of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In February 2023, BARDA launched the RePAIR (Repurposing and Advancing Innovations Against Rad/Nuc Threats) program, aiming to repurpose existing therapeutics as potential medical countermeasures against injuries caused by radiological and nuclear incidents. The RePAIR program is a crucial component of BARDA's multi-year strategy and aligns with ongoing efforts to enhance the country's capacity to respond to health security threats. The development of effective pharmacological countermeasures is vital to reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from the multi-organ illnesses of Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) following a radioactive or nuclear incident. These countermeasures must be readily available at various treatment venues, including pharmacies and hospitals, to address health security threats effectively.

Major players in the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) security market are actively engaged in developing innovative products to gain a competitive edge and address the rising demand for solutions to counter emerging threats. One notable innovation is the focus on man-portable counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS), which are compact and portable systems designed for the detection, tracking, and countering of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. A recent example is the November 2023 launch of Netline Communication Technologies Ltd.'s latest man-portable C-UAS, named C-Guard Modular ManPack. This RF-based jammer provides on-the-move, omnidirectional capabilities within the 20-6,000 MHz frequency range. Employing a hybrid jamming technique that combines active and reactive modes, the system ensures optimized protection and performance. In the active mode, it continuously broadcasts interfering radio signals, while the reactive mode triggers a directed energy response upon detecting a threat during short look-through transmission periods. With flexibility in the form of five self-contained jammer modules, the system allows customization to meet diverse customer needs and operational scenarios.

In February 2021, Spectra Holdings, a US-based real estate investment and development firm, executed the acquisition of Argon Corp for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move positions Spectra Holdings as a diversified designer and manufacturer of highly advanced avionics solutions for the defense technology industry. Argon Corp, the acquired company, is a US-based defense and space manufacturing firm that specializes in providing CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) and HazMat security training systems. This acquisition enhances Spectra Holdings' capabilities and strengthens its position in delivering cutting-edge solutions for security and defense applications in the CBRN sector.
