Bomb Disposal Robot Market Report 2026

The bomb disposal robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $13.61 billion in 2025 to $15.44 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in military and counter-terrorism operations, adoption of remote-controlled robotic systems, integration of advanced sensors and cameras, development of tactical surveillance capabilities, regulatory focus on public safety and hazardous disposal.

The bomb disposal robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to deployment of autonomous bomb disposal robots, integration of ai for threat analysis, expansion of lightweight and portable robotic systems, adoption of multi-functional robotic platforms, growth in robotic training and simulation solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increased deployment of tactical surveillance systems, advancements in robotic manipulators and sensor suites, integration of bomb disposal robots with communication networks, rising demand for multi-purpose explosive ordnance disposal (eod) robots, enhanced portability and lightweight design for field operations.

The rising incidence of terrorism is expected to propel the growth of the bomb disposal robot market going forward. Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, particularly against civilians, to achieve political or ideological objectives. The increase in terrorism is driven by escalating political and ideological extremism, with radical groups leveraging social and economic instability to recruit followers and justify violent actions against authorities or opposing communities. Bomb disposal robots play a critical role in addressing terrorism, as they enable the safe and precise handling of explosive devices, reducing risk to human life and ensuring effective threat mitigation in high-risk environments. For instance, in April 2024, according to the U.S. Department of State, a US-based federal government agency, global terrorist incidents increased from 7,351 in 2022 to 7,382 in 2023, marking a rise of 31 incidents. Therefore, the rising incidence of terrorism is driving the bomb disposal robot market.

Leading companies in the bomb disposal robot market are focused on developing innovative products, such as portable bomb disposal robots, to enhance mobility, safety, and versatility for military operations. These portable robots are remotely operated machines designed to safely detect, defuse, or dispose of explosives in hazardous environments and are used by military, law enforcement, and emergency response teams for bomb disposal, surveillance, and hazardous material handling. For example, in June 2024, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a U.S.-based company specializing in electronic components, instruments, and communication products, introduced the new SUGV 325 portable and modular robot. This robot offers improved mobility, with speeds up to 7 mph, and features an expandable IOP-compliant open architecture for customizable payloads. Its advanced sensors, durable design, and multi-robot control system enhance situational awareness and adaptability, making it suitable for various military applications.

In July 2024, LIG Nex1, an aerospace and defense company based in South Korea, acquired a 60% stake in Ghost Robotics for $240 million. This acquisition allows Ghost Robotics to continue its operations while utilizing LIG Nex1’s defense technologies and manufacturing capabilities to increase the production of its robotic solutions. These quadrupedal robots are designed for defense and security applications, including bomb disposal, and will improve operational efficiency in hazardous environments. Ghost Robotics is a technology company located in the United States that specializes in autonomous robotic solutions.
