Segment Insights & Market Share Analysis of the Guided Munition Market:

The global Guided Munition market is segmented based on Platform type, Product type, Guidance type, Actuation type, and Region.

Based on Guidance Type

·      The market is segmented as GPS-guided munitions, infrared (IR)-guided munitions, laser-guided munitions, and others.

·      GPS-guided munition is anticipated to contribute the largest market share during the forecast period.

·      Among these sub-segments, GPS-guided munitions are the most commonly used munitions across the globe, and contribute to the major market share. This is largely because these weapons are designed to be jamming-resistant, and their efficiency is not hampered by extreme weather conditions. Hence, with the increasing hostilities across the globe, the demand for guided munitions is likely to increase manifold, thereby fuelling the market growth substantially.


Based on the Actuation Type

·      The market is segmented into a fin-based actuation system and a thrust-based actuation system.

·      Thrust-based actuation system is likely to remain the dominant and fastest-growing actuation type in the forecasted period.

·      Among the sub-segments, the thrust-based actuation system is considered apt for the functioning of the munitions, as the actuation system remains effective even at high altitudes and during thin atmospheric conditions. As a result, these systems generate the largest market demand. On the other hand, the fin-based actuation systems lag as they cannot operate in low air density or exo-atmospheric conditions.

·      With the advancement of guided missiles that leave the Earth's atmosphere, such actuation systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in missile systems, across the globe.

Which Region Shows the Most Promising Growth Forecast and Opportunity?

In terms of region, North America is estimated to remain the largest market for the guided munition market over the forecast period.

·      The region is home to market leaders such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, among others, which are also active contractors for the US Department of Defense (DoD) for guided munitions.

·      In addition, the region accounts for over 40% of the global military expenses, as it is an extensive investor in the military industry.

·      Concurrently, Asia-Pacific is an emerging region in the global guided munition market, fuelled by the increasing regional military expenses, particularly from powerful countries such as India and China, in recent times. Also, the frequency of terror threats and border conflicts in the region is very high, which boosts the demand for guided munitions.
