Report Details:
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are a significant threat in many conflict zones, most notably in Afghanistan and Iraq this decade. These makeshift bombs can be presented surreptitiously and used without warning, to devastating effect, especially against patrolling troops. The IED countermeasures market is an increasingly important defence sector that will exhibit growth over coming years. Our new study examines both commercial and technological aspects of the counter-IED sector analytically.

Importantly, IEDs have accounted for a majority of the casualties among coalition forces operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. IEDs also cause death and injuries to civilians there and in other conflict zones. In this new report you will see how IEDs remain a frequent, deadly threat to US and other coalition personnel in combat zones, especially in Afghanistan at present. Consequently, there remains a large, growing market for IED countermeasures and defence, with many countries investing steadily in those products. Increased deployment and development of those technologies from 2009 onwards will reduce casualties. There is high potential in that sector for both public and private-sector developments.

The US has spent several billions of dollars in recent years to acquire and deploy mine-resistant vehicles, jammers against radio-controlled IEDs and new explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) tools. The US currently dominates the market for counter-IED products and systems. Several other countries, especially those that operate with the US in Afghanistan, have also moved to protect against IEDs.

In particular, our new report discusses the global outlook for the following submarkets:
• Mine-resistant vehicles
• Anti-IED jammers
• Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) systems (including EOD unmanned ground vehicles).

The main benefits from your purchasing this report are:
• An understanding of the current market for counter-IED systems
• Sales forecasts for the global counter-IED systems market from 2009 to 2019
• Sales forecasts for 10 leading national markets worldwide, with Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific regions covered from 2009 to 2019
• Examine major programmes and contracts for counter-IED systems undertaken in leading national markets
• Examine detailed analyses of market drivers and restraints from 2009 onwards, including a SWOT analysis
• Read full, original interviews from three major suppliers of counter-IED systems, including companies producing mine-resistant vehicles, jammers and EOD UGVs.

Examination of our forecast period, 2009 to 2019, reveals potential increases in sales and technological development, as the world’s militaries acquire greater defensive measures against IEDs. Which submarkets have the greatest value and will experience the highest growth? Which countries will spend most on counter-IED systems over the next decade? Will countries choose to field large numbers of counter-IED systems, or will those deployments be limited to specialist units? Our new report provides you with information that you need to understand the counter-IED sector.
