Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) weapons, also known as weapons of mass destruction (WMD), have been employed by the non-state and state actors throughout history. Both unintentional (accidental leaks in chemical and nuclear plants and biological disease outbreak) and intentional (acts of terrorism) CBRNE incidents result in a significant loss to humans and the environment. With the easy availability of CBRNE materials in the open market, the weaponization and dissemination of CBRNE weapons became quite simple. Nations have dedicated significant resources and attention to reduce the proliferation of CBRNE weapons and prepare for the after-effects of a CBRNE incident.
The increasing procurement of CBRNE defense equipment by the government and commercial industries is the major driver for the CBRNE defense systems market. Moreover, shifting geopolitical environments also made governments procure CBRNE defense equipment in order to tackle a possible CBRNE event. However, countries such as the U.S. are planning to decrease the chemical and biological defense investment. Developed economies such as the U.S., the U.K., France, and Germany have reached market saturation, which challenges the CBRNE defense system market.
CBRNE weapons pose a significant threat to the environment, and the CBRNE responders need to operate in this hazardous environment. To protect themselves from these hazardous conditions, CBRNE responders equip an advanced protective wearable to operate in these environments. Companies such as 3M, Airboss Defense Inc., Avon Protection, Avon Rubber PLC, BLÜCHER GmbH, HoldFast System, Molecular Products Ltd, Nexter group KNDS, OPEC CBRNE, and PDX - Pursuit Dynamics Plc offer protective equipment to various end users in the CBRNE defense system market.
COVID-19 Impact on CBRNE Defense Systems Market:
The COVID-19 outbreak significantly impacted the global economies. The governments were forced to pause all the operations that involved traveling and mass gatherings to control the effect of COVID-19. The restriction has blocked the flow of the supply chain in most industries, including the defense industry. However, the impact of COVID-19 on the defense industry is comparatively low compared to other industries due to significant pre-approved funding.
Due to the governments’ restrictions, the commercial market has stopped the production and supply of the equipment. However, the demand for biological protective equipment experienced a significant rise due to the COVID-19 impact.
Military Dominates the Global CBRNE Defense System Market:
Employing military forces for addressing CBRNE events has significantly added value to the country’s CBRNE defense capabilities. For instance, the Novichok attack in Salisbury (2018), the Paris terrorist attacks (2015), and the Ebola outbreak (2014) incidents included a CBRNE component. Military forces profit from a wide-ranging capability-based planning method focusing on the aim to attain and may also depend on officials who have endured regular CBRNE training. Moreover, military forces capabilities comprise specialized niche proficiencies, namely in medical expertise about the treatment of CBRNE casualties, identification, and detection of non-conventional warfare weapons, and decontamination.
Chemical Contamination Acquired Highest Market Share in the CBRNE Defense System Market:
Chemical contamination is one of the most frequent contaminations observed. Non-state actors and militant organizations have procured or have sought to acquire chemical armaments in order to attack their foes or defend their own ends through terror. The constant threat from chemical armaments has led many countries to prepare defenses against them and exert political pressure on rebellious or non-compliant states to stand by the chemical weapons convention (CWC).
North America to Witness Fastest Growth in the CBRNE Defense System Industry:
North America dominated the global CBRNE defense system industry in 2019 and is anticipated to uphold its dominance throughout the forecast period. Factors such as the presence of major CBRNE defense system manufacturers and a significant investment by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) fueled the high growth rate and major share of the U.S. in the CBRNE defense system industry. Moreover, the increasing demand for advanced detection systems in the commercial industries powered the growth rate in the region.
