Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Robots Market Report 2026

The explosive ordnance disposal (eod) robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $11.32 billion in 2025 to $12.85 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing military modernization programs, rising demand for personnel safety in bomb disposal, adoption of remote-controlled robotics, availability of ruggedized robotic platforms, growth in counter-terrorism operations.

The explosive ordnance disposal (eod) robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of autonomous robotic systems, rising investments in AI-driven defense technologies, expansion of urban security applications, growing use in civilian law enforcement, continuous advancement in robotic mobility systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of autonomous navigation capabilities, rising integration of advanced sensor fusion systems, expansion of lightweight and modular robot designs, growing use of ai-assisted decision support, enhanced focus on remote operation reliability.

The rising incidence of terrorism is expected to drive the growth of the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot market in the coming years. Terrorism involves the use of violence or threats to instill fear and disrupt society, often motivated by political, religious, or ideological objectives. Factors such as political instability, socioeconomic inequalities, extremist ideologies, and cross-border conflicts contribute to the prevalence of terrorism. EOD robots are deployed in terrorist incidents to safely detect, disarm, and neutralize explosive devices, reducing risks to human personnel and preventing potential damage. For instance, in 2024, the Institute for Economics & Peace, an Australia-based independent non-profit think tank, reported that terrorist attacks in 2023 became more lethal, averaging 2.5 deaths per attack, up from 1.6 in 2022. Therefore, the increasing incidence of terrorism is propelling the growth of the EOD robot market.

Leading companies in the explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot market are increasingly incorporating advanced technologies, such as low-light cameras and infrared (IR) systems, to improve the operational capabilities of their robots. These enhancements provide EOD robots with better visibility in dimly lit or obscured environments, enabling them to detect potential threats and function effectively during nighttime or adverse weather conditions. For example, in February 2024, DOK-ING, a Croatia-based robotics firm, introduced the MV-4 versatile EOD robot at WDS. This robot is equipped with advanced technology, featuring remote operation capabilities and a durable design to endure challenging conditions.

In December 2023, Cadre Holdings, a US-based manufacturing company, acquired ICOR Technology for an undisclosed amount. Cadre Holdings' acquisition of ICOR Technology aims to strengthen its position in the safety and survivability equipment sector by integrating ICOR's advanced explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots into its product lineup. ICOR Technology is a US-based company that manufactures explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots, focusing on enhancing public safety and security.
