Mechanical mine clearance system market

Mechanical demining is the process of eliminating land mines with efficient use of mechanical devices. Demining activities are both humanitarian as well as military and are performed across the globe. The Demining action can also be classified on the basis of operation type into two basic types which are manual demining and mechanical demining. Manual Demining or the conventional demining is a process in which the demining action i.e. the clearing the land mines are done humans and with the help of animals (dogs, rats) for the detection of the land mines.  In mechanical demining, special mechanical devices are used and are faster and safer than manual demining. Different types of devices are used in mechanical demining including mechanical mine clearance system/vehicle (MMCS), mine-protected vehicles, and ground protection machines.

The Global Mechanical Mine Clearance System market was valued for US$ 45.75 Mn in 2021 is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

• In September 2022 - Aardvark Clear Mine Ltd. a private British company introduced new GEN2 AMCS, an effective and versatile unmanned ground vehicle for de-mining and for removing the remnants of war in post conflict.

Restraint:

• High initial and maintenance cost of mine clearance system is expected to restrain growth of the global mechanical mine clearance system market during the forecast period
• Lack of skilled personnel for safe and effective operations is expected to hamper the global mechanical mine clearance system market growth over the forecast period

 Global Mechanical Mine Clearance System Market  - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic:

The global market for Mechanical Mine Clearance System has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic closed down many sectors, causing them to experience financial difficulties and lack of workforce. Which negatively impacted the process of the mine detectors used in land mine detection in army camp areas, and War zone areas. Thus, during the epidemic, the global Mechanical Mine Clearance System industry grew slowly.

Europe held a dominant position in the Global Mechanical Mine Clearance System Market in 2021 Statistics:

Europe region dominated the Global Mechanical Mine Clearance System Market in 2021, accounting for a 41.9% share in terms of value, followed by MEA, North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America, respectively

Europe and MEA were two leading markets in terms of revenue in 2021, and are expected to hold their dominant position over the forecast period. The market growth in these regions is attributed to the process of eliminating land mines with efficient use of mechanical devices. For instance, Mechanical Mine Clearance System are majorly used in humanitarian as well as military and are performed across the globe. Which is expected to drive demand for Mechanical Mine Clearance System over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing demand for manual operation segment and Remote Control Operation/Robotic Vehicle in the Mechanical Mine Clearance System is expected to facilitate growth of the Mechanical Mine Clearance System Market in Europe and MEA.
