Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) Market Report by Launch Vehicle (Tracked, Wheeled), Caliber Type (70-180 mm, 180-300 mm), Range (10-100 km, 100-300 km), Pod Capacity (Upto 16, More Than 16), and Region 2024-2032


The global multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) market size reached US$ 732.3 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,240.4 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% during 2024-2032.

A multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) is a versatile automatic weapon used to fire guided rockets and missiles. The launcher is mounted on stretched chassis and comprises a fire control computer. MLRS delivers a large firepower volume to strike long-range and high payloads at all depths of the tactical battlefield. At present, modern wheeled systems, which are lightweight and have high mobility and speed compared to tracked systems, are gaining traction in the defense and military sector worldwide.

The rising cross-border tensions between various countries, in confluence with the increasing funding for advanced weapons by several governing agencies, represents one of the key factors bolstering the market growth. These agencies are also spending on artillery modernization programs and the acquisition of new systems. Apart from this, the growing popularity of guided ammunition over unguided rocket artillery is positively influencing the sales of MLRS. Furthermore, the introduction of guided MLRS that relies on the global positioning system (GPS) and inertial guidance package to enhance positioning accuracy and fire from dispersed positions at a single target is strengthening the market growth. It also helps in reducing logistics load, chances of collateral damage and fratricide, while increasing the effective range of the MLRS rocket. Moreover, the development of a more sophisticated MLRS that uses radar data and one-way radio datalink to initiate a two-dimensional correction of the rocket flight path is anticipated to drive the market in the coming years.
