Key Trends in the Market

Mine countermeasures refer to the process of preventing any damage or destruction caused by mines. It is a procedure which aims at carrying out a survey to detect all potential contacts with an underwater mine. It is a risky and time-consuming process which uses advanced equipment, and vessels to prevent greater dangers from a mine that could affect naval or civilian vessels. While land mines are restricted in use and are easier to detect, underwater mines require advanced mine countermeasures. 

• Mine countermeasures are an integral part of modern naval combat systems which are capable of detecting, classifying, and eliminating moored and bottom mines. The increasing application of mine countermeasures in mine warfare operations, owing to the rising naval expenditure, growing terrorism and geopolitical tensions, and increasing naval capabilities of sovereign military powers, is driving the mine countermeasures market growth.

• Technological advancements in unmanned mine countermeasures, leading to an incorporation of high-end features such as autonomous mode and collaborative intelligence software, are further boosting the mine countermeasure infrastructure. Development of image tracking, comms technology, bottom lock systems for shallow lock missions, and unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) navigation and tracking, among others are some of the technologies developed by the leading market players.

• The collaborative efforts of various governments and major military manufacturers aimed towards raising investments to carry out sophisticated mine countermeasures are key trends in the mine countermeasures market. The development of next generation drones is expected to offer expansion opportunities for the market by reducing the workload of officers and improving performance levels and confidence while increasing safety.

Market Share by Operation

Based on operation, the sweeping segment accounts for a significant share in the mine countermeasures market. Sweeping is an important process of removing and detonating naval mines efficiently and effectively. Sweeping devices, incorporated in naval fleets, exhibit soundproofing properties which reduce their magnetic signature. In addition, modern sweeping devices are capable of neutralising large amounts of mines in open water territories which is a crucial factor propelling the segment’s growth. Over the forecast period, the anticipated increase in demand for acoustic generators, to carry out effective sweeping, is expected to further bolster the growth of this segment, as these devices can detonate mines at any water depths. 

Market Share by Region

At a regional level, North America and Asia Pacific are expected to witness a healthy growth in the forecast period, because of the increasing naval combat exercises between strong sovereign economies such as the United States, Japan, India, and South Korea. These exercises also increase the proficiency of mine countermeasure systems. In addition, the rising investments in autonomous mine counter measure support are further bolstering the mine countermeasures market in the Asia Pacific and North America. In the Asia Pacific, the growing trade of advanced data management capabilities to improve the efficiency of mine countermeasures between countries like Australia and ASEAN, is further propelling the mine countermeasures market growth in this region.
