Missiles Defence System Market Analysis

The Missiles And Missile Defense Systems Market size is estimated at USD 13.51 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 17.22 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.97% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The missile market is expected to grow primarily due to the procurement and upgrade activities undertaken by armed forces to counter emerging threats. Several contracts for military aircraft, helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and armored personnel carriers (APCs) mounted with launchers and warheads are currently underway, and many new contracts are anticipated to be dispersed during the forecast period, creating a parallel demand for countermeasures such as interceptor missiles and missile defense systems.

Some of these factors include the lack of funds due to budget constraints, various geopolitical factors, problems with other nations in case of joint development, technical failures, technology becoming obsolete, projections of high operational costs of the missiles, and the product becoming strategically needless. Furthermore, as militaries realign their priorities, some programs may seem non-urgent, thus, leading to their postponement. ​

Moreover, modern warfare and countering military invasion has been the key fueling factor that has added to the demand for missiles across the world. Countries like China, India, Russia, Australia, and Japan have been the growth contributors who are expanding their military spending to invest in R&D for better and more reliable military technologies, including missile technology. 

Several countries are expending significant resources toward augmenting their current military prowess by procuring new weapon systems or modernizing their existing deployed systems with advanced weapons and next-generation missiles. Furthermore, companies are working on developing advanced surveillance systems that may identify incoming stealth threats and intercept them, which is anticipated to boost the market's growth.

Missiles Defence System Market Trends

Short Range Missiles Dominated Market Share

Short-range missiles are projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. A short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of about 1,000 km (620 mi) or less. Due to their relatively low cost and ease of configuration, they are primarily deployed as a strategic deterrent in regional conflicts. The growing territorial disputes amongst neighboring countries are one of the major drivers of the R&D and production of advanced SRBMs capable of targeting and neutralizing threats at strategic strongpoints in a hostile neighboring country. Furthermore, rising defense expenditure and growing procurement of advanced defense systems drive segment growth.

The border conflict between China and India and China surrounding India with strategic military bases have also provoked India to invest in short-range missiles to protect the country's waters and birders. As part of the new defense upgrade plans, India has invested in introducing new anti-ship and anti-aircraft short-range missiles in partnership with its own state-run Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). In January 2022, the Indian Navy, in partnership with DRDO, successfully tested the short-range, anti-aircraft and anti-ship missile - the Vertical Launch Short Range Surface to Air Missile (VL-SRSAM) that is to be equipped with Indian Naval warships.

With military threats from China, Japan has also increased its investment in defense systems by significant margins in 2022. The new investment of USD 880 million as of December 2021 will be used for conflict deterrence and develop countermeasures against the sophisticated weapons being fielded by The People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China. The country is now planning to upgrade and extend the capability of its cruise missiles to hit objects at 1,000 km, which currently is at just 100 - 200 km, improving the chance to defend against farther adversary targets.

There has been a significant rise in the number of active programs for SCBMs as the countries aim to achieve arsenal superiority over each other. For instance, in August 2021, the Chinese PLA tested a single-stage ballistic missile with new conventional warheads. The newly developed missile is speculated to also feature a multi-mode seeker enabling precision strike capabilities comparable to the Indian Prithvi Missile.

Anti-Ship Missile Defence System Market: Defense Spending in USD Billion, by Region, 2022

North America Accounted for Largest Market Share

The North American region currently dominates the market and is expected to continue its dominance over the market during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the highest military spending in the US. The country is robustly investing in procuring and developing new missile and missile defense systems. The FY2022 budget entails USD 20.3 billion and USD 10.9 billion for missiles and munitions and missile defense programs, respectively. Under the Missiles and Munitions budget, the country plans to acquire the Hellfire missiles, Joint Air-to-Surface Missile (JASSM), Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), and Standard Missile (SM)-6, whereas, under the Missile Defense programs, the country would procure additional Standard Missile 3 Block IB and IIA missiles, and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors.

The government is also investing in the development of new missile systems. The country has also been strengthening its attack and defense systems with the increasing threat from its global rival, China. The aggressive military actions from China are also threatening US allies in Asia, further driving the US military to keep the necessary weapons and defense systems at its disposal in bases in Japan and Taiwan. In the wake of the war between Ukraine and Russia, the United States has been alert. The country has been purchasing new missile systems and supplying these weapons to its ally Ukraine to defend against Russia. As part of this, the country, in June 2022, announced the purchase of an advanced medium to long-range surface-to-air missile defense system that is expected to be supplied to Ukraine.
