By Product Analysis

The tactical missiles segment led the market and accounted for more than 70.5% share of the global revenue. This trend is attributed to tactical missiles’ long-range travel and ability to damage the targets significantly. 

Guided rockets are anticipated to witness moderate growth in the estimated time owing to their low cost and lightweight properties. However, limited or short-range travel by the rockets is anticipated to pose a challenge for the segment growth.

Developments in the guided systems in rockets are expected to increase its penetration in the market during the projected time. The loitering munition product category is anticipated to accelerate at a significant rate owing to its unique feature of loitering around the target and hitting at a precise location.

Guided ammunition including bombs, bullets, mortars, artillery shells is anticipated to grow moderately in the coming period owing to less adoption in the defense systems. Short-range and less destruction at the target location is expected to pose challenging factors for the segment growth over the estimated period.

By Technology Analysis

The Global Positioning System (GPS) segment accounted for the maximum share of more than 70.5% of the global revenue in 2021. The semi-active laser guidance technology segment followed the GPS segment in 2021 due to the high demand.

The technology is used for locating the targets. Fast coordination by illuminating the target for aerial attack is the primary factor for its growing demand for guided weapons. However, semi-active laser guidance for war weapons is likely to be replaced by GPS technology in the estimated time. 

Detection of exact target location with the provision of real-time movement of the targets is likely to increase the popularity of GPS-enabled guided munition for war activities at long range.

Radar homing guidance systems are majorly used for missile guidance that allows missiles to locate the targets autonomously. These systems are attached with radar transceivers and necessary electronics that simplify their locating operations. This guidance system is popular in tactical ballistic missiles.

The infrared-enabled guided munition is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to its low cost and precise location detection. Infrared components attached to the war equipment occupy less space and are light in weight, thus are widely installed in missiles, rockets, and artillery.

By Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2021 with a revenue share of more than 31%. The region is anticipated to continue the same trend growing at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. China, South Korea, India, North Korea, Pakistan, and Japan are among the largest players ordering tactical warfare.

The growing tensions between the countries in the region and the need to strengthen the defense capabilities are likely to create scope for the precision-guided munition. The growing tension between India and Pakistan has led India to strengthen its defense capabilities with the addition of enhanced missiles including Prithvi, Agni, Brahmos, and others.

The presence of prominent manufacturers in Europe coupled with high investments in the military operation by economies including the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, and Russia are anticipated to upscale the market in Europe. Moreover, military developments in Russia are further likely to develop improved artillery and missiles, thus, is expected to have a positive impact on the regional market.
