Military Laser Systems Market Growth Stats In Forecast Years
Market
Overview:
Military Laser
Systems market growth Size is
expected to reach USD 4.62 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.87 % during
2020-2030.
The
laser systems are expected to pave the way for next-gen weapon systems. The
laser-based weapons could be used as a defense system for manned and unmanned
aircrafts, to save it from heat-seeking missiles. The Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) in cooperation with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed
Martin has been actively working towards the development of such systems. It
aims to develop such laser weapons to defend the aircraft from EO/IR guided
surface-to-air missiles. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a next-gen laser
weapon system, that would be ten times lighter and more compact than the
current high-power chemical laser systems, and which could be mounted on a pod
to the manned aircraft and UAVs.
The government and
research agencies, across the globe, are involved in the R&D activities for
development of military laser systems. The R&D spending on such military
laser systems has also been increasing which has helped the growth of the
global Military Laser Systems market growth. For example, in the US, the
R&D activities are focused around many projects related to military
applications such as rangefinders, infrared countermeasures, illuminators, and
DEW researches. Similarly, the Horizon 2020 program in Europe (the European
funding plan), also has a substantial amount of funding towards the 'photonics
programs' which includes the lasers and is expected to fund more than US$137
million per year through 2020. The rise in terrorism and conflict has also
increased the R&D efforts for such military laser systems and weapons.
Similarly, the Indian
Ministry of Defense has regarded the development of advanced weapon and DEWs as
a top priority for its roadmap till 2020-2025. India has been working on the
development of such laser weapons and aims to make it accessible to fighter
aircrafts, naval destroyers and submarines by 2025. It is also working on DEWs
to improve anti-ballistic missile capability. India's LASTEC, a laboratory
developing lasers and related technologies, belonging to the DRDO, has been
working to develop such laser weapons for the Indian Armed Forces.

Regional
Analysis:
The global Military Laser
Systems market growth has been segmented into North America, Asia Pacific,
Middle East & Africa, Europe, and Latin America. North America leads in
global military expenditure and technological advancements, and thus, generates
very high demand for military laser systems, across the globe. Although, Canada
makes some investments in the development of such advanced systems, yet the
market is primarily dominated by the US. The region accounted for the largest
share in the global market in 2017, primarily due to the presence of major
manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Likewise, the
Middle East & Africa is an emerging defense market in the world, with Saudi
Arabia leading the region’s military expenses. According to SIPRI, Saudi Arabia
and the UAE collectively contributed over 5% of global military expenditure in
2017, and it is anticipated that the defense expenditure would rise fourfold in
the coming years. The Military Laser Systems market growth is growing in the
Middle East, and it can be attributed to the increase in deployment of the
regional armed troops in the war against terrorism. In addition, the changing
landscape of war over the years is also one of the major factors driving the
market.
