Dublin, Nov. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "North America Mine Detection Systems Market Report by Deployment Platform, Technology, Application, Countries and Company Analysis, 2025-2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The North America Mine Detection System Market is set to grow immensely, increasing from US$ 3.92 Billion in 2024 to US$ 6.58 Billion by 2033. This growth signifies a strong Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.93% over the period from 2025 to 2033.
Underpinning this growth are factors such as technological advances, increasing demand for safety in mining activities, and increased government investments in mine detection technology. 
In a military setting, the United States' armed forces employ mine detection technologies to train soldiers for deployment in regions where mines pose a threat. Through training, the soldiers are able to effectively spot and manage such threats. The North American firms also participate in conducting research and developing sophisticated mine detection technologies and advance global technology. Humanitarian groups periodically take part in operations to remove mines from former conflict regions overseas, highlighting the global presence of North America in detecting mines. Additionally, mine detection technology may be crucial for security in regions with former military bases where unexploded ordnance may be found, promoting public safety as well as providing land for future use.
Drivers of Growth in the North America Mine Detection System Market
Increased Defense Modernization Programs
A major growth stimulant for the North America mine detection system market is the growing emphasis on defense modernization. The U.S. and Canada remain committed to investing large sums in sophisticated technologies for boosting national security and military preparedness. Mine detection systems like ground-penetrating radar, infrared systems, and unmanned detection platforms are essential for safeguarding troops and machinery in war zones. Since defense forces are looking to enhance their asymmetric warfare, counter-terrorism, and peacekeeping capabilities, demand for advanced mine detection solutions is growing.
These investments guarantee operational safety and efficiency, making it a strong market forecast. February 2025, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the Canadian Embassy to the United States brought together Canadian and American leadership and program staff from various departments and agencies for intensive discussions on priority defence research and development (R&D) projects. These initiatives are in support of the modernization of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Canada's general continental defence R&D for capability improvements.
Increased Threat of Terrorism and Border Security Requirements
The increasing threat of terrorism and illicit cross-border conduct in North America is propelling the use of sophisticated mine detection technologies. Mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are a major challenge to border control and security forces. The capacity to rapidly locate and eliminate threats is crucial to providing public safety and infrastructure security. Mine detection tools like vehicle-mounted detection systems and portable sensors are more commonly used for counter-terrorism and border security operations.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) coordinates and assists international activities, programs and initiatives with our foreign partners across the globe. June 2025, The CBP Office of International Affairs (INA) has been charged to further the diplomatic vision of CBP and project the zone of U.S. border security worldwide. INA directs the international mission of CBP and serves as a force multiplier for CBP frontline operators through information sharing, international-partner outreach, and advancing CBP international initiatives.
Technological Advancements in Detection Systems
Technological advancement is driving the use of mine detection systems in North America much higher. Sophisticated offerings like AI-assisted ground-penetrating radars, drone-mounted detection systems, and real-time data analytics enhance accuracy of detection at lower risk to personnel. Multi-sensor platform integration, blending radar, infrared, and electromagnetic technologies, increases detection capabilities across varied terrain. Development of light and portable mine detection equipment also facilitates field flexibility.
These technologies not only enhance efficiency but also lower the cost of operation, prompting larger procurement by regional defense and security organizations. June 2025, ELTA North America (ENA), a specialist in advanced radar systems and electronic warfare, has purchased Chemring Sensors and Electronic Systems' Explosive Hazard Detection business line. The acquisition reinforces ENA's dedication to advanced technologies that safeguard warfighters and enable mobility operations.
Challenges in the North America Mine Detection System Market
High Procurement and Maintenance Costs
The main challenge for the market is the high expenditure of mine detection systems. Sophisticated technologies including ground-penetrating radar, infrared sensors, and drone-based platforms are expensive in terms of procurement as well as maintenance.
Smaller security agencies might not be able to meet the cost of these systems, resulting in low adoption except for national defense budgets. In addition, routine maintenance and upgrading contribute to the expense, thus making it difficult to maintain extensive deployment. Cost is still a limitation, particularly for extensive deployment over varied terrain.
Operational Limitations in Complex Terrains
Mine detection equipment tends to be less effective in complex environments including urban environments, highly forested areas, or underwater areas. Environmental conditions such as soil type, water salinity, and interference from nearby infrastructure can impede detection. Although multi-sensor integration is beneficial, no system is completely foolproof, and there are possible risks in business-critical operations. Such operation constraints hinder adoption in some applications and illustrate the necessity of ongoing R&D. Surmounting the terrain-specific issues is a huge challenge for manufacturers and users alike.
