Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Market Intelligence Report 2025 - Naval Modernization Spurs Growth in MCM Sector; Revenues to Cross $4 Billion by 2029 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Global Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The mine countermeasures (MCM) market is experiencing robust growth, with the market size expected to increase from $2.97 billion in 2024 to $4.05 billion in 2029, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. This upward trajectory is attributed to factors such as heightened maritime security threats, naval modernization efforts, increased defense infrastructure investments, and advancements in autonomous mine detection technologies. The industry's evolution is also fueled by strategic maritime surveillance advancements and rising allied naval collaborations.

Emerging trends are shaping the MCM market, including the development of AI-powered navigation systems, investment in R&D for MCM solutions, and the integration of multi-sensor platforms. These innovations enhance mine detection and clearance, support naval operational efficiency, and underscore the industry's move towards modular and scalable technologies.

The rise in maritime security threats and initiatives in naval modernization are primary catalysts driving the growth of the MCM market. Nations are increasingly investing in advanced platforms and technologies to bolster their maritime security and protect economic interests. For instance, the U.S. Department of the Navy's FY 2024 budget request showcases a significant allocation towards enhancing naval capabilities. Moreover, companies are focusing on technological advancements such as AI-driven autonomous systems to improve mine detection efficiency. For example, in March 2025, Thales S.A. introduced its AI-driven Maritime Mine Counter Measures (MMCM) system to the Royal Navy, significantly enhancing operational capabilities in hazardous zones.

The MCM market also witnesses strategic partnerships enhancing defense capabilities. In August 2022, Bollinger Shipyards LLC partnered with HII Unmanned Systems and Raytheon Technologies to develop the Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vessel (MCM USV) for the U.S. Navy, aiming to replace aging naval assets with advanced, autonomous alternatives.

The Asia-Pacific region leads the MCM market in 2024 and is projected to continue its rapid growth. The regions analyzed in the MCM market report include Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. However, regional dynamics are influenced by evolving global trade relations, particularly the tariffs and customs challenges impacting the aerospace and defense sectors through increased costs and production delays.
