Abstract
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are a significant threat in many conflict
zones, most notably in Afghanistan and Iraq currently. Those makeshift bombs
can be presented surreptitiously and used without warning, to devastating
effect, especially against patrolling troops. Main threats take the form of
roadside bombs, car bombs and suicide bombing. The IED countermeasures and
defence market is an important defence sector that will exhibit significant
growth over the coming years, as this new visiongain defence report shows.
In this new report - IED Defence Market 2009-2018 - you will see how the US
has spent billions of dollars on IED countermeasures, but still IEDs are a
number one threat to US military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Consequently, there is a large market for IED countermeasures and defence,
with leading and developing countries worldwide investing steadily in those
products. Over the coming four years, the US will invest tens of billions of
dollars on a large fleet of new vehicles to counter the IED threat, with some
other countries following. Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) are currently
being developed to replace High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles
(Humvees). There are also significant market opportunities for IED detection
and inactivation systems, including jammers, as discussed in this report.
Why you should buy this report
Visiongain' s IED Defence Market 2009-2018 report provides a detailed market
and industry analysis for IED countermeasures and defence worldwide, with a
focus on the overall world market and those of principal national markets. The
report focuses on the following aspects of that sector in particular:
- The contemporary IED defence market and its challenges
- Sales forecasts and other key metrics for the global IED defence market up
to 2018
- Sales forecasts for the principal submarkets up to 2018
- Sales forecasts for 11 leading national markets up to 2018
- An analysis of leading countries' IED defence programmes
- Discussion of market drivers and restraints for the market, including a
SWOT analysis for the years 2008 to 2018
- Discussion of leading companies involved in developing and marketing
counter IED systems, including specialised vehicles
- Expert views on current issues and future prospects for IED defence
systems, including full interview transcripts not published anywhere else.
Key content of the report
This new visiongain report - IED Defence Market 2009-2018 - discusses the
present and future market for counter-IED systems and IED defence. In addition
to consultations with experts in industry, this research involved a detailed
study of relevant commercial and policy documents, as well as emerging
developments. Importantly, visiongain applied techniques such as financial
forecasting and analyses of market drivers and restraints. The result is a
comprehensive market-based report with detailed analyses and informed opinion
not found elsewhere.
Importance of IED defence systems
So far this decade, the number and magnitude of terrorist attacks have been
high, with significant losses amongst both civilians and military personnel.
The current situation suggests that IED devices - favoured by terrorists and
insurgents - are a threat here to stay. However, militaries worldwide are
taking active steps to protect forces and civilians against the significant
threat of IED attacks, especially in conflict zones. IEDs are still a
formidable threat to the US and its allies in Iraq and Afghanistan, in
particular. Therefore, counter-IED systems are amongst the most important
tools for countering terrorism and insurgency worldwide. This market sector
has seen dynamic revenue growth from 1998 to 2008, with that progress set to
continue well into next decade, as this report shows. No organisation working
in explosive countermeasures or related technology can afford to ignore the
present and future commercial opportunities in IED defence and
countermeasures, as our new IED Defence Market 2008-2018 report shows.
