Europe Directed Energy Weapons Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Technology, Range, Application, and Platform

The directed energy weapons market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 453.83 million in 2022 to US$ 1,271.23 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.7% from 2022 to 2028.

Improved system dependability is a key consideration when choosing a directed energy weapon. The use of cutting-edge technology with the integration of hardware components disseminates across a range of military assets, such as combat vehicles, unidentified objects, drones, and UAVs. Modern directed-energy weapons with exceptional precision have made it necessary for nations with border disputes and regional threats to rely on such cutting-edge weapons for their border safety. For instance, Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) directed energy demonstrator development program targets technical risk reduction and maturation for high-powered strategic lasers, beam control, lethality, and associated technologies. In FY2021, the MDA’s directed energy demonstrator development program received US$ 42 million in funding from department of defense. For FY2022, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) proposed US$ 107 million for high-energy laser development. Moreover, in July 2022, as reported by Naval News, Dragonfire, the UK's Laser Directed Energy Programme (LDEW) led by MBDA, announced the success of its trials for the accuracy and power of the laser weapon. MBDA has managed to integrate the tracking system and laser stabilization into laser technology through years of research and development.

Market Overview

By country, the European directed energy weapons market is segmented into France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the rest of Europe. Several European countries have experienced a significant rise in military expenses over the past century, which is propelling the adoption of direct energy weapons. However, military spending in both Central and Western Europe increased in 2021, which may reflect a need to combat terrorism. Therefore, participation in peacekeeping operations, prevention of terrorism, efforts to secure trade routes, and soldier modernization programs, which include laser weapons, microwave weapons, sonic weapons, and other weapon procurement, are expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
