Missile Defense - Thematic Intelligence

As the return of high intensity warfare in Europe and the rise of great power competition in the Asia-Pacific region drive concerns for global security, the balance of strategic power provided by missiles and missile defense capabilities has come into renewed focus in recent years. Though such capabilities were mainly the remit of geopolitical superpowers during the Cold War, the modernization and digitization of the modern battlefield have provided a growing number of nations with the capacity to develop or acquire and operate increasingly versatile weapons platforms capable of defending against the threat of missile systems to varying degrees. Nations are also increasingly collaborating in this field through treaties, security arrangements and joint operations, providing greater opportunities for both primes and contractors within the missile defense supply chain to grow their market share by capturing emerging markets and broadening their customer base through bilateral collaboration initiatives.

Though concerns revolving around conventional missile threats remain constant, the emergence of new technologies such as hypersonic systems and directed energy weapons has further incentivized investment from major geopolitical powers such as China, Israel and the US as governments seek to gain strategic and technological overmatch to ensure their security in an increasingly volatile and polarized world.

The global missiles and missile defense systems (MMDS) market is valued at $45.2 billion in 2023 and will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% to reach a value of $67.9 billion by 2033. The cumulative market for global MMDS is anticipated to be valued at $657.4 billion over the forecast period.
