What are the market dynamics of the CBRNE defense market?

The Covid-19 pandemic illustrated how the world is vulnerable and unprepared for potential CBRNE threats. In the wake of the Covid-19 experience, demand for counter CBRNE research investments and procurements are expected to grow. In order to increase reaction time against the threats and mitigate their adverse effects, breakthrough technologies such as AI, the internet of things (IoT), advanced materials, nanotechnology, and remote sensing will be leveraged in novel CBRNE solutions.

It is known that terrorist groups want to procure CBRNE materials and carry out sensational actions that will impact the world, especially in Europe and the USA. Emerging unmanned vehicle technology enables them to carry out multiple and simultaneous chemical and biological attacks at a low cost and from a significant standoff distance. The US and European countries are witnessing an increasing trend towards the provision of body armor and personal protection to first responders, such as EMT/EMS personnel and firefighters. This trend is being stimulated by the growing need to enhance the capabilities of the personnel who are responding to casualties in the aftermath of extremists’ attacks. In addition, increasing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats coupled with the country’s efforts on peacekeeping missions are further expected to drive the procurement of protective clothing products over the forecast period. With a number of bomb-making manuals easily available on the internet, any terrorist organization or individual can manufacture one at home if they have CBRNE materials. Given these factors, a number of countries are expected to increase their expenditure on CBRNE defense in anticipation of CBRNE attacks arising from smuggled CBRNE material.

What are the CBRN defense market segments?

The CBRN defense market is segmented into CBRN detection, CBRN protection, CBRN decontamination, CBRN disposal, and CBRN simulation and training. CBRN protection accounts for the largest share in the CBRN defense market during the forecast period, followed by CBRN detection, CBRN decontamination, CBRN simulation and training, and CBRN disposal.

Investment in CBRN detection is expected to witness the highest level of global spending in the CBRN defense market. The market for CBRN decontamination is mostly driven by the procurement of mobile and stationary decontamination units by major defense spending countries. In order to maintain emergency response readiness, the countries are expected to invest substantially in CBRN simulation and training activities for all departments of the armed forces as well as for internal security organizations.

What is the CBRNE value chain segmentation?

The CBRNE industry value chain can be split into four segments: CBRNE types, CBRNE defense components layer, CBRNE defense sub-components layer, and end-user layer.

Among the four segments, the area of focus is the CBRNE defense sub-components layer. It is further segmented into:

  • Detection and identification – The CBRNE detection segment consists of equipment and systems which aim at establishing the release or presence of a CBRNE substance in a given area or location.
  • Protection – CBRNE protection segment consists of equipment and systems which aid in preventing CBRNE threats and hazards from having an adverse effect on personnel, equipment, critical assets, and facilities.
  • Decontamination – CBRNE decontamination segment consists of equipment and systems that reduce or remove CBRNE contamination, so they are no longer considered hazards.
  • Disposal – CBRNE disposal consists of processes and systems, including packaging, storage, transfers, removal of waste and debris, and bomb disposal.
  • Software – CBRNE software integrates CBRN specialist tools and sensors with C4I Systems to accelerate the CBRN reporting, calculation, and warning time, visualize warnings in hazardous areas and compile CBRN common operational picture.
  • Simulation and training – CBRNE simulation and training consist of processes and systems that help to make CBRNE respondents and emergency teams aware of the various skills and knowledge required for CBRNE defense.
  • Consultancy and system design – CBRNE consultancy and system design consist of a holistic approach to operational requirements and use R&D and innovation to shape tomorrow’s CBRNE response solutions.

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
