Rocket and Missiles Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Rocket and Missiles Market
The rocket and missiles market size was valued at USD 59.21 billion in 2021, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 61.96 billion in 2022 to USD 84.77 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.58% during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
Modern conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine are fostering defense expenses and remoulding the procurement tendencies emphasising the technologies applicable in GPS countermeasures. Russia’s advanced electronic warfare and Ukraine’s successful use of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 UCAV highlight the demand for resilient communication and unmanned systems. The TB2’s effectiveness has stirred interest among governments seeking to expand their UCAV capabilities, which boosts Baykar's market position. These developments are poised to impact the rocket and missiles market growth.
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems in missiles are advancing due to the demand for precise target detection, identifying assets such as tanks and carriers within milliseconds. ATR combines artificial neural networks with infrared imaging for high target recognition accuracy. Anti-ship missiles are a major ATR application, primarily used by U.S. and Russian militaries. The U.S., with its substantial defence budget, drives ATR adoption, further boosting the rocket and missiles market share.
Additionally, adopting 3D printing for missile components boosts market growth, enabling faster, more sustainable manufacturing with lower costs. This advanced technology produces complex missile structures such as warheads, fuel tanks and control vanes in a single step. The ability to create intricate geometries quickly benefits production efficiency and cost-effectiveness, positioning 3D printing as a transformative approach in missile manufacturing.
