The Global Artillery Systems Market was valued at USD 12.13 billion in 2023 and is projected to witness over 8% CAGR from 2024 to 2032.
Several key trends are shaping the growth trajectory of the industry. A prominent trend is the surging demand for precision-guided munitions (PGMs) and advanced artillery systems. Today's artillery platforms are increasingly outfitted with sophisticated guidance systems, including GPS and laser-guided projectiles. These enhancements not only boost accuracy but also significantly reduce collateral damage. The push for these advancements stems from a heightened focus on minimizing civilian casualties, bolstering operational effectiveness, and achieving strategic goals with pinpoint precision.
The artillery systems industry categorizes itself based on type, component, caliber, range, and region.
Market segmentation by type includes howitzers, mortars, rocket artillery, coastal and naval artillery, and anti-air systems. Notably, the anti-air segment is poised to witness a CAGR exceeding 10% during the forecast period. These specialized systems are engineered to counter airborne threats, spanning from fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The spectrum of these systems ranges from nimble air defense guns to sophisticated surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems, complete with radar-guided targeting and fire control features.
Caliber-based segmentation divides the market into small (under 105 mm), medium (105 mm to 155 mm), and heavy (over 155 mm) categories. Dominating the global scene, the medium caliber segment (105 mm to 155 mm) is projected to rake in revenues surpassing USD 10 billion by 2032. Encompassing howitzers and guns, medium artillery systems serve as the backbone of conventional forces globally. Striking a balance between mobility and firepower, they engage targets at extended ranges with notable accuracy and lethality. Ground forces deploy medium artillery for sustained bombardment, counter-battery fire, and to suppress enemy positions during both offensive and defensive maneuvers.
In 2023, North America led the global artillery systems market, capturing over 35% of the share. The region, especially the U.S., boasts a dominant position, bolstered by substantial defense spending, cutting-edge technological prowess, and a robust defense industrial foundation. U.S. defense procurement emphasizes state-of-the-art artillery systems, from self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers to precision-guided munitions. Industry giants like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, and BAE Systems spearhead the market, leveraging their expertise in high-tech military hardware and software development.
