According to the ICBL reporting in 2016, manual deminers casualties were around 1,675 over the
period of 1999 to 2015. Moreover, these numbers have significantly escalated year-on-year even
after constantly developing the operating procedures, demining standards or equipment.
However, these demining machines are designed to detonate the underlying explosives with
minimal damage to the actual equipment. Incorporation of flails, tillers, manual and remote
controls to enhance the operational capabilities and enhance the safety user safety through
bullet proof designs are among the major factors fueling the demands. Moreover, Anti-Personnel
Mine Ban Convention or known as the Mine Ban Treaty, that has around 162 state parties to the
treaty, has obligations for the states to clear all the mines as soon as possible. Requirement to
comply with the convention within the stipulated deadlines requested, will propel the growth of
the mine clearance system market over the coming years.

High initial cost, expensive maintenance, and lack of skilled professionals is among
the prominent factors impacting the industry growth negatively
Complex operational machinery and the danger of abrupt mishaps due to mishandling is among
the major concerns of the users. These mechanical machines were developed, to reduce the
onsite casualty rates, however, portray the reverse image owing to these reasons. Moreover, the
high initial and maintenance cost, in conjunction with the carrying effectiveness depending on
the ambient conditions is among the major factors hampering the growth of the mine clearance
system market. Moreover, manufacturers find it difficult to meet the United Nations standard of
99.6% clearance for humanitarian demining.
Manual mode of operation segment held the largest mine clearance system market share in
2016, owing to the lack of skilled professionals and the difficulty in remote operation of these
heavy machinery. Moreover, remote operations also enhance the probability of errors in handling
of the explosives. However, owing to increasing development in the functionality and safety of
the remotely operated machineries, these are expected to find substantial growth prospects over
the coming years.
