Bomb Disposal Suit Market Report 2026

The bomb disposal suit market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2025 to $1.3 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising global terrorist threats, increased military and law enforcement budgets, advancements in blast-resistant materials, past incidents highlighting personnel safety needs, historical adoption of standard protective protocols.

The bomb disposal suit market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of lighter and more flexible suits, integration of smart sensors for real-time threat detection, rising global security concerns and counter-terrorism investments, expansion of law enforcement and military modernization programs, growth in private security and explosive ordinance disposal services. Major trends in the forecast period include development of lightweight and ergonomic bomb disposal suits, integration of modular protective components for enhanced safety, adoption of advanced blast-resistant materials and fabrics, incorporation of environmental control and cooling systems, enhanced visor and helmet technologies for improved situational awareness.

The increase in terrorism and violent conflicts is expected to propel the growth of the bomb disposal suit market going forward. Terrorism and violent conflicts refer to the use of violence and intimidation, particularly against civilians, to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives. These threats are rising due to escalating political and ideological extremism, with radical groups exploiting social and economic instability to recruit followers and justify violent actions against authorities or rival communities. Bomb disposal suits support efforts in countering terrorism and violent conflicts by providing protective gear that enables personnel to safely handle and neutralize explosive threats. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), an Australia-based non-profit think tank, terrorism remained a major global threat, with total deaths increasing to 8,352 in 2023 from 6,823 in 2022. Therefore, the rise in terrorism and violent conflicts is driving the bomb disposal suit market.

Major companies operating in the bomb disposal suit market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as modular sensor suites (MSS) to enhance situational awareness and protection. A modular sensor suite consists of integrated sensors that transmit data to a heads-up display, enabling operators to detect threats even in low-visibility conditions, thereby improving response time, threat detection, and mission safety. For instance, in October 2023, QinetiQ, a UK-based defense technology company, secured a contract to supply the Next Generation Advanced Bomb Suit (NGABS) to the U.S. Army. The NGABS features an embedded modular sensor suite and heads-up display and provides full 360-degree ballistic protection, reduced weight compared to older systems, and enhanced mobility and flexibility. The suit is designed to integrate with existing body armor, reducing overall system weight by about 10 percent. It also includes helmet and sleeve lighting as well as low-light and thermal sensor capabilities. The integrated sensor suite is connected to a HUD for real-time visual augmentation, allowing operators to function effectively in obscured or low-light environments without compromising safety.

In January 2024, Cadre Holdings Inc., a US-based manufacturer of safety and survivability products, acquired ICOR Technology Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition demonstrates Cadre’s commitment to strengthening its capabilities and expanding its service offerings in the defense sector, particularly as global public safety spending continues to grow. ICOR Technology Inc. is a Canada-based manufacturer of explosive ordnance disposal robots and specialized protective equipment for military and explosive ordnance disposal organizations.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have influenced the bomb disposal suit market by increasing costs of imported protective materials, cooling systems, and specialized fabrics, affecting manufacturers and end-users. Military and security segments in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are most impacted due to reliance on global supply chains. While tariffs raise production costs and delivery timelines, they also encourage domestic manufacturing, foster local innovation in protective gear, and enhance regional self-reliance in bomb disposal equipment.

A bomb disposal suit is a specialized protective garment designed to shield individuals from the effects of explosive devices. It incorporates reinforced materials and integrated protection to absorb and reduce the impact of blasts, shrapnel, and heat. This suit provides maximum safety for personnel involved in explosive ordnance disposal operations.

The primary types of bomb disposal suits include water cooling systems, air cooling systems, and others. A water cooling system circulates water through tubes embedded in the suit to regulate the wearer's body temperature, preventing overheating and ensuring comfort during high-stress, high-temperature situations. Bomb disposal suits are available in various weights, such as lightweight and heavyweight models, tailored for applications in fields such as firefighting, security, and military operations.
