Total Containment Vessel Market Report 2026

The total containment vessel market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.96 billion in 2025 to $1.03 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand from military and bomb disposal units, advancements in blast-resistant materials and vessel design, rising global security threats and explosive incidents, growth in procurement for emergency response and disposal operations, development of mobile and modular containment solutions.

The total containment vessel market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.35 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to focus on enhanced fragmentation shielding and gas-tight technologies, expansion of mobile and rapid-deployment containment units, integration with remote handling and robotic disposal systems, increasing adoption in hazardous material transport and industrial safety, development of customized and mission-specific containment vessels. Major trends in the forecast period include increased use of high-strength composite materials, rising deployment of mobile containment units, enhanced fragmentation shielding and safety standards, growth in bomb disposal and counterterrorism investments, expansion of custom-engineered containment solutions.

The increasing threat of terrorism is expected to drive the growth of the total containment vessel market in the future. Terrorism involves the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, particularly against civilians, to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. Contributing factors to the rising threat include political instability, extremist ideologies, socioeconomic disparities, global conflicts, and the proliferation of digital platforms that aid in radicalization and coordination. Total containment vessels play a crucial role in counter-terrorism efforts by safely transporting, containing, and neutralizing explosive devices, thereby reducing the risk of detonation and safeguarding lives and property. For example, in March 2023, the Global Terrorism Index 2023, published by the Institute for Economics and Peace, an Australia-based research and education think tank, reported that terrorist attacks had become more lethal, with an average of 1.7 fatalities per incident, up from 1.3 deaths per attack in 2021. Consequently, the rising threat of terrorism is driving demand for total containment vessels.

Key players in the total containment vessel market are concentrating on creating advanced products, such as vacuum-insulated spherical containment systems, specifically designed for the safe transport of liquefied hydrogen (LH2) in gas carriers. A vacuum-insulated spherical containment system is a specialized storage solution that maintains cryogenic temperatures for liquefied gases by using a vacuum between an inner vessel and an outer jacket, which reduces heat transfer and ensures safe transport and storage. For example, in August 2023, CB&I received approval from DNV for a liquid hydrogen cargo containment system designed for gas carriers. This liquid hydrogen cargo containment system features a vacuum-insulated spherical design aimed at ensuring the safe and efficient transport of liquefied hydrogen. It effectively minimizes heat ingress and sustains cryogenic temperatures, resulting in low boil-off rates that enhance operational efficiency. This system is crucial for the development of international hydrogen supply chains, tackling energy density challenges while adhering to strict safety standards.

In July 2023, GAGE Group AB, a US-based manufacturer of high-precision parts for various industries, acquired Dynasafe Demil Systems AB for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen GAGE Group's market position in demilitarization and disposal solutions and ensure ongoing innovation and excellence in delivering advanced technology and services to global defense and commercial clients. Dynasafe Demil Systems AB is a Sweden-based company specializing in demilitarization and disposal solutions.

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 on specialty steel, ballistic-grade alloys, and precision fabrication components have increased production costs for total containment vessel manufacturers, particularly affecting mobile and large-capacity product segments used across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Import-dependent regions face procurement delays and reduced equipment upgrading cycles, however tariffs have also encouraged growth in domestic manufacturing, localized supply chains, and investments in advanced protective technologies that support long-term market expansion and operational resilience.

A total containment vessel (TCV) is a specialized container designed to safely transport and contain explosive devices or hazardous materials, ensuring that harmful substances do not escape during detonation or accidental explosion. These vessels are commonly used by bomb squads and in military operations for safe disposal.

The total containment vessel market features different types based on maximum trinitrotoluene (TNT) load and explosive ratings, including categories for less than 120 grams, 120 grams to 500 grams, 500 grams to 2 kilograms, 2 kilograms to 10 kilograms, 10 kilograms to 20 kilograms, and above 20 kilograms. The "less than 120 grams" category refers to vessels designed to safely contain explosive charges up to 120 grams of TNT or equivalent materials. These vessels come in various shapes, such as spherical and barrel-shaped, and are utilized across various industries, including ports, public security, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) patrols, munitions transport, laboratories, court yards, aerospace and defense, and more.
