Deployment of Self-Propelled Mortar Systems Bolster Middle East & Africa Mortar Systems Market

The increasing application of unmanned systems for various purposes, including weapon delivery, surveillance, or detection, boosts the demand for self-propelled artillery systems. The increasing adoption of self-propelled artillery systems reduces the logistics and transportation challenges faced while moving any artillery system. Self-propelled artillery systems allow for the reduction of the operational manpower required to operate any artillery systems such as howitzer or rocket artilleries.

Many companies have already developed self-propelled artillery systems to provide their customers with reliable and desired mission solutions to remain competitive in the highly competitive marketplace. For instance, in 2021, Czech company EXCALIBUR ARMY announced the launch of its DITA 155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer system at IDEX 2021. Similarly, many other companies have been collaboratively working for the development and advancements in the self-propelled artillery systems that are expected to cater to the emerging needs for the customers in the coming years as well. Moreover, the majority of the companies are pushing their investments in terms of procurement of self-propelled howitzer systems. Hence, the increase in the deployment of self-propelled artillery systems is anticipated to be a trend in the mortar systems market.

Middle East & Africa Mortar Systems Market Overview

The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa are a few of the prominent countries in the Middle East & Africa mortar systems market. In 2020, the military expenditure was US$ 129.9 billion, which increased to US$ 134.1 billion in 2021. In 2022, the Middle East & Africa's military expenditure was US$ 146.8 billion. In 2022, Saudi Arabia dominated in terms of military expenditure, followed by the UAE and South Africa. A prominent share of military expenditure is dedicated to the requirement for advanced equipment, devices, aircraft, ships, and armored vehicles in modern war, which is anticipated to boost the mortar systems market during the forecast period. The mortar systems market in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) is experiencing dynamic growth and transformation driven by geopolitical factors, regional security challenges, and technological advancements. The MEA has witnessed increased military expenditures and modernization initiatives by several nations, contributing to a heightened demand for advanced artillery systems.

In February 2023, it was disclosed that HALCON, an entity under EDGE and a prominent regional player in the design and manufacturing of guided weapon systems, entered into a strategic partnership with Rheinmetall Air Defence (RAD), a Swiss-based subsidiary of Rheinmetall known for its expertise in air defense and anti-aircraft systems. Under this collaboration, RAD is tasked with the development and qualification of the truck-mounted Oerlikon Multi Sensor Unit (MSU). This specialized unit is set to operate in tandem with HALCON's SkyKnight, a counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM) missile system utilized by the UAE. The partnership signals a significant advancement in regional defense capabilities, combining HALCON's proficiency in guided weaponry with RAD's air defense solutions, and is poised to contribute to the growth and modernization of the mortar systems market in the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
