The global 155mm ammunition market was valued at $3,061.86 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 4.00%.
Expanding In Military Modernization Programs
During the historic period, the expanding military modernization programs drove the growth of the 155mm ammunition market. Modernization programs typically prioritize the enhancement of artillery units through the integration of more advanced systems. As nations strived to improve their military capabilities, there was a growing demand for 155mm artillery systems, which are recognized for their effectiveness in diverse combat scenarios. This heightened interest directly drove an increased demand for 155mm ammunition. For instance, in 2022, the US Army published the 2022 Army Cloud Plan, updating its 2020 plan, to advance its goals of digital modernization. This new plan focuses on integrating key services into the cloud environment across the enterprise, moving the Army closer to achieving its modernization objectives. The updated plan represents a strategic shift towards leveraging cloud technology for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, in June 2022, the Defense Minister of Canada, along with the Chief of Defense Staff and Deputy Commander of NORAD, announced Canada's initiative to modernize continental defense capabilities. The plan, supported by a $3 billion investment over six years starting in 2022-23, enhances Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and NORAD capabilities to detect, deter and defend against emerging threats. With $1.9 billion in remaining amortization, totaling $4.9 billion on a cash basis, the initiative aims to ensure long-term security for Canadians through new and improved defense measures. Therefore, expanding military modernization programs positively impacted the growth of the 155mm ammunition market.
Focus On State Of Art Manufacturing Facilities And Optimizing Supply Chains
Key companies involved in the 155mm ammunition market are focusing on increasing their production to meet the growing demand. This surge in demand is driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions and military conflicts, which have heightened the need for advanced artillery systems. To respond effectively, companies are investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and optimize their supply chains to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality munitions. For instance, in May 2024, Elbit America, which specializes in providing advanced technology-based systems for defense, homeland security and commercial applications, announced a plan to triple the production of 155 mm systems and double the building of laser-guided seekers. Elbit America has been enhancing its manufacturing capabilities by implementing advanced industrial processes, controls and digital engineering to boost production rates. Further, in 2023, the company inaugurated a new 135,000 square feet (12,542 square meters) facility in North Charleston, South Carolina, USA, which serves as its ground-combat vehicle assembly and integration center of excellence.
The global 155mm ammunition market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of small players in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 18.54% of the total market in 2023.
