Counter-IED Market Expected To Reach $1.58 Billion By 2030 At 2.19% CAGR
The counter-ied market size has demonstrated consistent growth over recent years. Projections indicate a rise from $1.42 billion in 2025 to $1.46 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.2%. During the historic period, this expansion was driven by several key factors: the increased deployment of counter-IED jammers in response to growing insurgency threats, the adoption of remotely operated towed vehicles to enhance standoff detection, the surge in military and peacekeeping operations stimulating the procurement of counter-IED systems, technological advancements in RF shielding solutions that improve IED identification and disruption, and the expansion of defense modernization programs supporting the integration of counter-IED equipment.
The counter-ied market size is anticipated to demonstrate steady expansion over the next few years, reaching $1.59 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.2%. This projected growth during the forecast period is driven by several factors, including the increasing demand for counter-UAS RF shield systems to counter drone-enabled IED threats, a heightened focus on autonomous and semi-autonomous counter-IED platforms to boost operational efficiency, expanding investment in advanced electronic warfare technologies to bolster IED disruption capabilities, greater urban warfare preparedness leading to the adoption of compact and mobile counter-IED systems, and continuous increases in defense spending supporting the long-term procurement of next-generation counter-IED solutions. Major trends anticipated in this period encompass the growing adoption of vehicle-mounted ied detection systems, the integration of counter-uas rf shield technologies, the development of remotely operated towed vehicles, the expansion of homeland security deployment programs, and the upgradation of airborne and handheld detection devices.

Counter-IED Market Industry Drivers: What Is Driving Revenue Growth?
Elevated military expenditure is projected to fuel the expansion of the counter-IED market moving ahead. This spending encompasses national investments in military resources and measures, covering both current and capital outlays for armed forces, including peacekeeping troops. Counter-IED equipment is utilized within broader counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, or law enforcement operations to remotely detect explosives and their precursor elements, as well as to neutralize actual improvised explosive devices (IEDs). For example, in October 2025, the UK Parliament’s House of Commons Library, a governmental body in the UK, indicated that defense spending detailed in the 2025 Spending Review is anticipated to reach USD 83.3 billion (£62.2 billion) in 2025/26, escalating to USD 98.2 billion (£73.5 billion) by 2028/29, representing an average annual real-terms growth rate of 3.8% during this timeframe. Consequently, the rise in military expenditure is a key factor propelling the expansion of the counter-IED market.

Counter-IED Market Transformation Trends: Which Innovations Are Driving Change?
Major companies operating in the counter-IED market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as C-Guard Microsystems. A manpack counter-IED device refers to a portable or wearable instrument specifically designed for countering Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). These systems are meant to be carried by an individual, often military or security personnel, to detect, neutralize, or mitigate the threat posed by IEDs. For instance, in November 2023, Netline Communications Technologies Ltd., an Israel-based electronic countermeasures manufacturing company, announced the launch of the ‘C-Guard Modular Manpack’. This is an Electronic Warfare (EW) system created to address challenges presented by both Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and adversarial drones. Designed for military and law enforcement applications, this compact and portable Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) unit provides comprehensive jamming capabilities, making it suitable for a range of scenarios, including anti-terrorism missions.
