Global Precision Guided Munition Market Forecasts: CAGR of 4.5% Forecast During 2021-2026 with Market Set to Reach $41 Billion by 2026

Dublin, Dec. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Precision Guided Munition Market by Speed (Subsonic, Supersonic, and Hypersonic), Product, Technology, Mode of Operation (Semi-Autonomous and Autonomous), Launch Platform (Land, Airborne and Naval) and Region – Global Forecast to 2026” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global precision guided munition market size is projected to grow from USD 32.8 billion in 2021 to USD 41.0 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2026.

The precision guided munition market is expected to witness growth due to a consistent increase in defense budget across the globe and the need for advanced precision guided munition to counter the modern combat around the country’s border. Furthermore, the increasing number of conflicts and high defense spending are some of the major factors driving the market globally.

Governments of various countries, such as the US, China, India, and Russia, are spending heavily on modernizing their military resources. Thus, a large number of weapon manufacturers are shifting their focus towards developing precision guided munitions. However, issues related to the integration of missiles pose a challenge for precision guided munition market growth.

A weapon system plays an important role in precision guided munition majorly for land, air, and marine platforms. The weapon system segment has been further sub-segmented into interceptors, gun/turret systems, and missile launchers. The weapon system segment is projected to reach USD 40,967 million by 2026. In the Asia Pacific region, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.

The hypersonic segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Based on speed, the precision guided munition market has been segmented into subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic. Hypersonic precision-guided munitions are equipped with a propulsion system to enable them to attain a speed of Mach 5 or higher, which is five times faster than the speed of sound. Hypersonic precision-guided weapons are difficult to counter due to their high speed. Currently, these weapons are in a development phase and are expected to be operational in the near future.
