The global market for supersonic and hypersonic missiles is experiencing rapid growth, driven by advancements in technology, increasing defence budgets, rising geopolitical tensions, and the need for strategic military deterrence. These high-speed missiles, capable of traveling at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (hypersonic) and Mach 1–5 (supersonic), provide military forces with superior strike capabilities, making them a key focus for major defence programs worldwide. Below are five critical driving factors
Increasing Defence Budgets and Military Modernisation
One of the primary drivers of the supersonic and hypersonic missiles market is the increasing defence budgets of major military powers. Governments worldwide are prioritising investments in next-generation missile systems to enhance national security and maintain military superiority.
The United States leads global defence spending, with the Department of Defence allocating billions of dollars toward hypersonic missile development. In its FY2024 budget, the U.S. allocated approximately $11 billion for hypersonic weapons programs. Companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, and Northrop Grumman have secured major contracts to develop advanced hypersonic weapons, including the AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) and the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM).
China is also aggressively investing in hypersonic weapons as part of its military modernisation strategy under the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force. The successful deployment of the DF-17 hypersonic glide vehicle underscores China's commitment to enhancing its strategic strike capabilities.
Russia, which has historically been a leader in missile technology, has developed and deployed the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle, capable of carrying nuclear warheads at speeds exceeding Mach 20. The Russian government continues to fund projects such as the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile, which is designed for naval applications. With increasing global defence spending, military modernisation programs will continue to fuel the demand for cutting-edge supersonic and hypersonic missiles.
Geopolitical and Arms Control Challenges
The rapid advancement of hypersonic missile technology has sparked an arms race among global superpowers, raising concerns about geopolitical stability and arms control. Unlike nuclear or ballistic missile agreements, there are no international treaties specifically regulating hypersonic weapons, creating a grey area in arms control policies.
Countries such as the U.S., China, and Russia are aggressively pursuing hypersonic weapons programs, leading to fears of strategic instability and reduced reaction times for defensive systems. The lack of an established global framework for controlling hypersonic proliferation increases the risk of miscalculation and escalation in conflict scenarios.
The United Nations and non-proliferation groups have raised concerns that hypersonic missile technology could spread to non-state actors or adversarial nations, making it harder to enforce arms control agreements. The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and other arms control frameworks struggle to address the dual-use nature of hypersonic technology, as advancements in aerospace and commercial applications can also be adapted for military use.
For example, the U.S. withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 2019 has further complicated diplomatic efforts to regulate hypersonic missile development. While NATO and allied nations are working on collective deterrence strategies, there is still no international consensus on limiting hypersonic weapon deployment.
Additionally, the export and transfer of hypersonic technology raise security concerns. Countries like India and Russia are co-developing the BrahMos-II hypersonic missile, while China is reportedly assisting some Middle Eastern nations in developing hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) technology. The absence of strict export control mechanisms makes it difficult to prevent unauthorised proliferation, further escalating global tensions.
For governments and defence organisations, addressing these diplomatic and regulatory challenges is critical to ensuring that hypersonic weapons do not contribute to uncontrolled military escalations or security threats.
