Washington D.C. (PRWEB) June 26, 2015 -- According to the Standoff IED, Person-Borne & Vehicle-Borne Explosives & Weapon Detection: Technologies & Global Market – 2015-2020, terrorist attacks using IEDs, Person-Borne IEDs (PBIED) and Vehicle-Borne IEDs (VBIED) peaked in 2007 due to the U.S. & NATO wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. While the withdrawal of the U.S. from these countries resulted in a decline of VBIED & PBIED attacks, we now face a new surge of suicide attacks which are growing at an alarming rate (see figure).

The purpose of standoff PBIED, VBIED and weapon detection technologies is to determine at a safe distance if a human subject or a vehicle is carrying explosives or weapons. Concealed explosives detection is perceived as one of the greatest challenges facing the counter-terror and military communities. The threat posed by suicide bombers is the key to the emergence of transformational counter-terror technologies and tactics. The maturity and deployment of advanced standoff detection technologies, capable of detecting suicide and other terrorists at a safe distance, will change the landscape of homeland security and asymmetric warfare.

In the new "Standoff IED, Person-Borne & Vehicle-Borne Explosives & Weapon Detection: Technologies & Global Market – 2015-2020" report we forecast that the cumulative 2015-2020 revenues will reach $8.4 billion.

The report, segmented into 120 sub-markets, offers for each sub-market 2013-2014 data and 2015-2020 forecasts and analyses. In 340 pages, 113 tables and 200 figures, the report analyzes and projects the 2015-2020 market.

According to the report, the market growth is boosted by the following drivers:

  • Strengthening of radical Islamist IED, PBIED & VBIED attacks and threats in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the U.S.
  • The 2011-2014 growth of PBIED & VBIED suicide attacks
  • Investments of defense forces around the globe in asymmetric warfare equipment
  • Introduction of advanced standoff IED, PBIED & VBIED detection devices, technologies and systems
  • Ever-growing profit of aftersale business (e.g., maintenance, upgrades and refurbishment)

The report examines each dollar spent in the market via 3 orthogonal money trails: 5 regional, 6 technological and 4 by revenue source markets.

Questions answered in this 340-page report include:
1. What will the market size be in 2015-2020?
2. What are the main standoff IED and weapon detection technology trends?
3. Where and what are the market opportunities?
4. What are the market drivers and inhibitors?
5. Who are the key vendors, their products and policies?
6. What are the challenges facing the standoff IED and weapon detection market entrants?
