Technological advancements play a pivotal role in the refinement of nuclear weapons and missile systems, enhancing precision and accuracy. These advancements significantly improve the reliability of these weapons, ensuring they are more effective in achieving strategic objectives. For instance, in November 2023, Russia announced test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Bulava, from one of its submarines. The submarine, named Emperor Alexander the Third, is part of Russia's Borei-class nuclear submarines and is designed to carry 16 Bulava missiles. According to the Federation of American Scientists, the Bulava is designed to carry up to six nuclear warheads. This capability allows a single missile to deliver multiple warheads to different targets or locations. 

The progress in technology facilitates the expansion of both the range and payload capacity of nuclear missiles and is expected to drive the growth of the market. Extended ranges offer nations greater flexibility in deploying their nuclear capabilities, while increased payload capacity enables the delivery of more potent warheads. The developments in propulsion systems and guidance technologies contribute to the creation of more sophisticated and dependable delivery systems for nuclear missiles. This encompasses enhancements in propulsion efficiency, missile maneuverability, and the capability to evade anti-missile defenses.

Active nuclear bombs and missiles refer to those currently in operational deployment, maintained for immediate use as part of a nation's strategic defense. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, as of the beginning of 2022, nine countries—the U.S., Russia, the UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea)—had an aggregate of approximately 12,705 nuclear weapons. Among these, an estimated 9,440 were held in military stockpiles for potential use. Approximately 3,732 of these warheads were thought to be deployed with operational forces, with around 2,000 maintained in a state of high operational alert. Active weapons are regularly maintained, upgraded, and form a crucial part of a nation's strategic deterrent. Immediate readiness provides a deterrent effect and quick response capability in the face of potential threats. The growth of active arsenals is influenced by evolving geopolitical threats and the need for modernization to counter emerging challenges. Collectively, Russia and the U.S. account for more than 90 %of the world's nuclear weapons. Moreover, together, the U.S. and Russia collectively represent nearly two-thirds of the total expenditure in nuclear weapons worldwide. Notably, China is undergoing a significant expansion of its nuclear arsenal. Such factors are expected to drive the demand for active nuclear bombs and missiles. 

Reserve and retired nuclear bombs and missiles are those placed in reserve storage or formally decommissioned after being withdrawn from active service. The arms reduction agreements, technological advancements, and diplomatic efforts to reduce the overall number of nuclear weapons in the world contribute to the rise in the number of reserve and retired nuclear bombs and missiles.  Internationally, the total warheads of nuclear weapons are on a downward trend, although at a slower rate than observed over the past three decades. Notably, this reduction is driven by the ongoing dismantling of retired warheads by the U.S and Russia. In contrast, the count of warheads within global military stockpiles, specifically those allocated to operational forces, is experiencing a resurgence. While the U.S continues a gradual reduction of its nuclear arsenal, France and Israel maintain relatively steady inventories. Importantly, the deployed strategic nuclear forces of both countries adhered to the stipulated limits outlined in the bilateral nuclear arms reduction treaty known as the 2010 Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, commonly referred to as New START. 

The nuclear bombs and missiles market is segmented on the basis of type, range, status, and region.
