The air defense system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.55 billion in 2023 to $33.75 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth observed during the historical period in the development and deployment of air defense systems can be attributed to various factors. These include the military buildup during the Cold War era, focused development of missile defense systems, the perceived threat from aerial warfare, a shift from conventional to asymmetric warfare strategies, and overarching national security imperatives.
The air defense system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $43.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by heightened defense budgets, escalating threats posed by unmanned systems, geopolitical uncertainties, the demand for comprehensive defense strategies, and a shift towards the adoption of directed energy weapons. Notable trends expected in the forecast period include continuous advancements in missile technology, the increasing prevalence of asymmetric warfare, proliferation of drones and UAVs, the establishment of integrated air defense networks, and a focused emphasis on cybersecurity measures.
The escalating demand stemming from global conflicts is projected to be a significant driving force behind the expansion of the air defense system market. Geopolitical and military confrontations worldwide have prompted heightened investments in air defense capabilities by various countries. Air defense systems hold critical importance in conflict and wartime scenarios by securing airspace and defending against aerial threats, encompassing missiles, drones, and aircraft. As reported by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), 2022 witnessed 174 instances of violent crises globally, notably the extensive Russian invasion of Ukraine, which drastically amplified the scale and intensity of conflict, underscoring the pressing need for robust air defense systems.
The proliferation of air-based threats is anticipated to fuel the growth of the air defense system market in the foreseeable future. Air threats encompass the risk posed by enemy aerial vehicles and ordnance, targeting vulnerabilities and posing potential harm. Air defense systems are instrumental in detecting, identifying, tracking, and neutralizing such threats before they inflict damage. With the evolution of air power, threats have expanded to encompass attack helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and various types of missiles. For example, a July 2021 report from the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) highlighted that airstrikes conducted by the Afghan Air Force contributed to 8% of civilian casualties, signifying the peril posed by air-based incidents. This surge in air-based threats underscores the imperative for bolstering air defense system capabilities.
A notable trend gaining traction in the air defense systems market is the development of advanced weapon systems. Key industry players are committed to innovation, aiming to fortify their market positions through groundbreaking products. In October 2022, MBDA, a France-based missile systems manufacturer, unveiled the VL MICA NG air defense system, representing a new generation anti-air missile. This cutting-edge system boasts improved capabilities to address unconventional and emerging threats, including targets with reduced detectable infrared and radio frequency signatures. Moreover, it extends coverage to conventional targets such as aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles, intercepting them at increased ranges compared to its predecessor, the VL MICA system, highlighting the industry's focus on advanced weaponry within the air defense systems market.
Prominent companies are strategically investing in entities within the air defense system market to foster the development and integration of state-of-the-art technologies. Nations and defense organizations prioritize investments in air defense systems to fortify territorial security, protect military assets, and ensure civilian safety against airborne threats such as missiles, drones, and aircraft. These corporate investments aim to cater to governments seeking advanced defense capabilities. For instance, in August 2023, the Albanese Government allocated substantial funding toward air and missile defense systems to augment the Australian Defense Force's (ADF) capabilities. A commitment of $765 million was made to implement the Joint Air Battle Management System, contributing to a comprehensive, integrated air missile defense structure. This investment aligns with the government's initiative to modernize the ADF, empowering it as a cohesive and well-equipped force primed for national defense.
