Weapon night sights are sighting devices that enable viewing or imaging under poor light conditions, and during nighttime. These night sight devices are also referred as image enhancement devices, which are built on the image-intensifier tube to collect and amplify infrared and visible light. In addition, these devices are utilized to intensify human sight under very low light conditions. These devices can be mounted on a wide range of weapons and small arms. Moreover, these devices can also be attached with guns carried by armed troops and military vehicles. Furthermore, military forces across the globe utilize weapon night sights to execute military operation successfully.
In recent years, digital night vision rifle scopes have become popular as they can be utilized both during the day and at night. In addition, militaries across the globe most often utilizes gun-mounted weapon night sight in their assault rifles to execute several missions effectively.
The U. S. is a world leader in the deployment of modern technologies in the military, navy, homeland security, and other defense agencies. The Department of Defense of the U. S. is the country's largest government agency has awarded bounteous contract for weapon night sight to defense companies. For instance, in May 2022, The US Army has awarded contracts totaling $1 billion for individual thermal weapon sights. The Department of Defense has announced that FLIR Systems of Massachusetts and Leonardo DRS of Florida have been awarded firm fixed price contracts worth more than $500 million to provide Family of Weapons Sights-Individual thermal imaging systems.
The global weapon night sight market is experiencing growth due to upsurge in military spending, and government initiatives to protect nation from cross border disputes. However, high cost of weapon night sight devices is the factor hampering the growth of the market. Furthermore, defense modernization is the factor expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period.
The weapon night sight market is segmented on the basis of product type, platform, technology, application, and region. By product type, it is segmented into gun-mounted weapon night sight, and vehicle-mounted weapon night sight. By platform, it is classified into ground-based, air-based, and sea-based. By technology, it is categorized into imaging intensifier, thermal imaging, and others. By region, the report is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Executive Summary
According to this report, titled, 'Weapon Night Sight Market,' the weapon night sight market was valued at $1.0 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031.North America is expected to dominate the global weapon night sight market. North America is projected to witness an increase in the adoption of weapon night sight by the defense agencies, owing to multiple military modernization and enhancement programs underway in the North America. In January 2019, EOTech, a division of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., signed a $ 26.3 million five-year contract with the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), to provide the US military with state-of-the-art holographic sights and optics with G33 clip magnifier.
Tank utilizes weapon night sights for round-the-clock observation of terrain. In addition, vehicle-mounted weapon night sights are designed for viewing the field of combat in any weather conditions for the purpose of surveillance, detection and classification of stationery and moving targets.
The global weapon night sight market is experiencing growth due to upsurge in military spending, and government initiatives to protect nation from cross border disputes. However, high cost of weapon night sight devices is the factor hampering the growth of the market. Furthermore, defense modernization is the factor expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Revenue crunch and unavailability of raw materials were some of the major factors affecting the weapon night sight devices market, owing to the increased trade restrictions. Furthermore, defense budget cuts from several countries such as the U.S., India, France and Israel also affected the growth of the market. For instance, in 2021, the U.S. defense budget was reduced from $712 billion in 2020 to $705 billion in 2021.Factors such as disruptions in the supply chain and delayed purchases coupled with cross-border trade restrictions are responsible for the slowdown of the weapon night sight market. Markets throughout the world observed reduced procurement of weapon night sight, and the procurement contracts are expected to grow gradually over the next few years, as governments continue to build up their defense capabilities for addressing the uncertain geopolitical tensions across different nations such as the India-China, India-Pakistan, or the continued disagreement in South China Sea.
KEY FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
By type, the vehicle-mounted weapon night sight segment is anticipated to exhibit significant growth in the near future.By platform, the ground-based segment is anticipated to exhibit significant growth in the near future.
By technology, the imaging intensifier segment is anticipated to exhibit significant growth in the near future.
By region, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global weapon night sight market include BAE Systems Plc, Elbit Systems Ltd, Excelitas Technologies, L3Harris Technologies, Leonardo S.P.A, Optix CO, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Rheinmetall AG, Rolta India Limited, Teledyne Flir LLC., Thales Group, and Thomasnet.
