Loitering Munition Market Report Highlights

By type, the recoverable segment holds a larger loitering munition market share due to its ability to be reused in multiple operations, making it cost-effective for military forces. However, the expendable segment is registering a higher growth, driven by the demand for low-cost, one-time-use systems for tactical strikes.

The army segment dominates the loitering munition market revenue share, as loitering munitions are increasingly being integrated into ground-based operations for precision strikes and reconnaissance. The airforce segment is experiencing the highest growth, fueled by the demand for advanced, long-range systems for surveillance and tactical operations.

North America dominates the global loitering munition market due to the advanced technological capabilities and high defense spending in the US. Asia Pacific is the highest growing market, driven by rising defense budgets and military modernization efforts in countries such as China and India.

A few key players in the loitering munition market are AeroVironment, Inc.; BlueHalo; Denel Dynamics; Dynamics Group; Elbit Systems Ltd.; General Atomics; Aeronautical Systems, Inc.; Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd.; Kongsberg Gruppen ASA; Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.; MBDA; Northrop Grumman Corporation; Raytheon Technologies Corporation; Rheinmetall AG; Takyon Systems; and UVision Air Ltd.
