Market Trends of CBRNE Defense Industry
The Military Segment Accounted for Largest Market Share
- The military segment currently dominates the market and is expected to continue its dominance over the market during the forecast period. With growing threats from terrorists and a rise in political tensions, CBRNe weapons have emerged as a potential threat to several countries.
- Governments and defense departments of several nations are developing robust and effective countermeasures to protect the public and military personnel from CBRNe weapons. Governments, along with many militaries, are developing the necessary framework for tackling the threats caused by CBRNe incidents.
- The focus is on the protection of military personnel against any vulnerable attacks. For instance, in December 2021, South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced that the Republic of Korea Armed Forces deployed upgraded reconnaissance vehicles with enhanced capabilities to counter chemical and biological security threats.
- The vehicles are capable of monitoring hazardous airborne agents from a long distance and can transmit a CBRN warning through a military communications line. Moreover, many investments are being poured into the R&D of devices and equipment for countering CBRNe threats, which is expected to drive the segment during the forecast period.

North America is Anticipated to Witness the Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
- The North American region is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period. The majority of demand for CBRNe defense systems in North America is generated from the US, which has formulated a National Strategy for CBRNe Standards, mainly for the coordination, prioritization, establishment, and implementation of CBRNe equipment standards. The country is also significantly investing in the development of the CBRNe defense systems.
- For instance, in June 2021, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided USD 2 million in funding under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program to two companies to develop machine learning technologies to detect CBRNE threats. With machine learning technologies, the DHS plans to reduce time, redundancy, and cost, as well as enhance the accuracy in detecting threats, such as explosives, chemical agents, and narcotics.
- In addition, under the Man Transportable Robotic System Increment II (MTRS Inc II), the US Army is acquiring unmanned ground vehicles to support Engineers, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Soldiers, and Special Operations Forces. The new UGVs are replacing the aging non-standard fleet of robots for locating, identifying, and clearing landmines, unexploded ordnance, and improvised explosive devices, which may enhance the maneuverability and survivability of military personnel. The investments in the development and procurement plans of CBRNe defense equipment in North America are expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
