Artificial Tears Market Report 2025

This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The artillery systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.01 billion in 2024 to $11.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of indirect fire support systems, rising demand for counter-drone artillery solutions, rising demand for long-range artillery, growth of urbanization and megacity conflicts.

The artillery systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing global defense spending, growing threats of armed conflict, rising geopolitical, rising demand for counter-drone artillery solutions, the increased focus on military modernization, emphasis on sustainability and fuel efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of artificial intelligence in artillery systems, shift towards network-centric warfare, integration of electronic warfare capabilities, strategic partnership, integration of anti-jamming features in artillery systems.

The rising threats of armed conflict are anticipated to drive the growth of the artillery systems market in the future. Armed conflict denotes a state of organized violence between two or more parties, which can include states, non-state actors, or factions within a state, and typically involves the use of armed force to settle disputes. The increasing complexity and interconnectivity of global challenges, along with geopolitical rivalries, regional instabilities, and societal tensions, contribute to the growing perception of escalating threats of armed conflict. Artillery systems are versatile and powerful weapons that can significantly influence the battlefield, support ground operations, and determine the outcomes of armed conflicts. For instance, in January 2024, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a US-based non-governmental organization, reported a 12% increase in conflict events in 2023 compared to 2022. Thus, the escalating threats of armed conflict are expected to boost the artillery systems market.

Prominent companies operating in the artillery systems market are directing their efforts towards the development of technologically advanced products, such as automatic truck-mounted howitzers, to enhance mobility, firepower, and operational efficiency in military environments. These self-propelled artillery systems feature the integration of a howitzer onto a truck chassis, enabling swift mobility and deployment on the battlefield. For example, in February 2024, China North Industries Group Corporation Limited (Norinco), a China-based defense and military technology manufacturer, unveiled a new truck-mounted howitzer. This innovative system boasts a highly automated design, housing a 155mm L/52 howitzer within an unmanned turret mounted on a 6x6 truck chassis. Equipped with the familiar 14-ton SH16 unmanned turret, the platform ensures stability during firing through an earth spade positioned at the rear, despite its combat weight of 32 tons (equivalent to 70,000 pounds). Operated by merely two crew members within an armored cab, this advanced system represents a significant advancement in modern artillery technology.

In August 2023, Rheinmetall AG, a Germany-based company at the forefront of defense and automotive technology, successfully acquired Expal Systems S.A.U. for a significant $1.3 billion. Following the acquisition, the entity will now operate under the name Rheinmetall Expal Munitions. This strategic move positions Rheinmetall to fulfill substantial ammunition supply contracts previously secured. Expal Systems S.A.U., headquartered in Spain, is a distinguished defense company specializing in the production of artillery ammunition, mortars, medium-caliber rounds, fuzes, and rocket propulsion systems tailored for defense applications.

The artillery systems market consists of sales of artillery systems, including cannons, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), air defense artillery, and self-propelled artillery, along with associated ammunition and equipment. Values in this market are 'factory gate' values, encompassing the total value of goods sold by manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

Artillery systems encompass a range of military equipment designed specifically for artillery use, employing large-caliber guns or cannons to propel projectiles across extended distances. These systems comprise various types of artillery, including howitzers, cannons, and rocket launchers, with variations in size, range, and firepower, spanning from compact mortars to sizable installations.

Key categories of artillery systems include howitzers, mortars, anti-aircraft artillery, rocket artillery, and others. Howitzers, distinguished by their relatively short barrel length and high firing angle, are utilized for indirect fire support against targets such as enemy troops, fortified positions, and armored vehicles. Categorized by caliber and range, artillery systems are classified as small, medium, or heavy, with ranges delineated as short (5-30 kilometers), medium (31-60 kilometers), and long (above 60 kilometers). End users of these systems include aerospace and defense sectors, as well as homeland security agencies.
