Dual-function Robotic Systems Gain Credibility for Capabilities in Safely Detonating Landmines
Robotic innovations are anticipated to create incremental opportunities for companies in the mechanical mine clearance system market. For instance, in October 2019, Students at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Massachusetts, revealed that they are innovating in an autonomous rover and payload-deploying drone that is capable of searching and detonating landmines. Thus, companies in the mechanical mine clearance system market should collaborate with such innovators to capitalize on value-grab opportunities.
Novel robotic arms are being highly publicized as a safe and cost-effective way to detect deadly landmines in the humanitarian sector worldwide. According to UNICEF, each year, several thousands of people are killed or maimed by the landmines that were once planted during the historic wartime. Such alarming numbers are fueling the demand for advanced mechanical mine clearance systems. As such, companies in the market for mechanical mine clearance systems are increasing their R&D capabilities in dual-function robotic systems that are a cost-efficient way to safely detonate landmines.

Technical Surveys Help Streamline and Monitor Progress in Demining Operations
Companies in the mechanical mine clearance system market are gaining efficacy in conducting technical surveys for examining fields that have potential risks of landmines. They should increase efforts to support humanitarian causes such as the Norwegian People’s Aid in order to boost their credibility in the mechanical mine clearance system market and acquire proficiency in initial testing and validation flights. Moreover, advanced imaging applications are being leveraged with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify areas that are at a potential risk of landmines.
The importance of technical surveys is growing, since these surveys provide key information on the selection of appropriate tools to conduct ground clearance activities. These innovative trends are catalyzing growth in the market for mechanical mine clearance systems. Technical surveys help to streamline demining operations and deliver insights on the progress and completion of the operations.
Companies Accelerate Innovations in UAVs for Adoption in Mine-infested Areas
Multi-faceted demining machines and remote-controlled or semi-autonomous mechanical mine clearance systems are paving the way for enhanced human mine clearance activities. Growing needs for vegetation clearance and obstruction removal are some of the key drivers that are bolstering growth for the mechanical mine clearance system market. Other applications such as explosive hazard detection and mine removal by excavation are generating revenue opportunities for innovators in the mechanical mine clearance system market.
All-purpose robotic systems are speeding up the demining processes in both humanitarian and military applications. However, these robotic technologies are still in their primitive stage and far from widescale adoption in mine-infested areas. As such, companies are increasing their research spending to innovate in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in order to accelerate innovations in mechanical mine clearance system technologies.
Enhanced Security in Defense Applications Fuels Demand for Demining Systems amidst COVID-19 Crisis
Analysts at the Transparency Market Research (TMR) opine that there is a significant drop in the number of deaths caused by landmines since most individuals are practicing self-isolation at their homes amidst the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. However, the situation is not any different in military and defense areas, since several countries are reporting trespassers at national and state borders. Hence, companies in the mechanical mine clearance system market continue to pursue R&D activities to better the technology in detection equipment.
Since most individuals are practicing social distancing due to the COVID-19 outbreak, companies in the mechanical mine clearance system market are increasing efforts to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their staff and employees. Tech companies have issued work-from-home mandates for certain percentage of staff, while others work as skeleton crew to organize business continuity plans.

Mechanical Mine Clearance System Market: Overview
- According to Transparency Market Research’s latest research report on the global mechanical mine clearance system market for the historical period of 2018–2019 and the forecast period of 2020–2030, advancements in technology and rising investments in the military & defense sector to develop technologically advanced mechanical mine clearance equipment are expected to boost the global market during the forecast period
- In terms of revenue, the global mechanical mine clearance system market is estimated to reach value of ~US$ 60 Mn by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of ~3% during the forecast period
Support by Governments and NGOs to Boost Humanitarian Demining: A Key Driver
- Humanitarian demining differs from military demining. Military demining only clears mines that block strategic pathways of soldiers at war. On the other hand, in humanitarian demining, complete land is cleared so that civilians can return to their homes.
- Over the last few years, the humanitarian mine clearance process has gained significant attention of governments and non-profit organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD)
- Moreover, several NGOs and private companies have established a new help center known as ‘Mine Action.’ After signing the ‘Anti-personnel Mine Ban Treaty’ in 1997, administrations have spent a few billion dollars on mine action until 2019.
- However, in January 2024, the U.S. Government announced rollback of restrictions imposed on landmine production and use. This new policy allows the U.S. to develop, produce, and use landmines.
- Thus, continued interest of governments and non-profit organizations in the humanitarian demining process is projected to have a high positive impact on the global mechanical mine clearance system market during the forecast period
