The global airborne weapon system market is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 89,600.3 million in 2024. It is projected to climb to US$ 127,616.5 million by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2034.

The modernization programs, increased investments, and evolution in technologies keep the airborne weapon system market in robust growth. So far as nations are concerned, priorities are for upgrading their aerial combat capabilities with a focus on advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground missile systems, hypersonic technologies, and integration of AI-based systems. Fighter jets represent the biggest share because of their versatility in accomplishment and combat effectiveness; no air force can achieve its objectives of air superiority, without them.

By weapon type, too, missiles dominate, since they provide precision, long-range capabilities, and versatility against multiple target types. Some of the key drivers behind the growth in the market include geopolitical tensions, increased defense budgets, and the strategic drive to maintain dominance in the air, especially across regions such as the U.S. and China. The United States leads the demand in the market, as it is focused on the modernization of its fleet with next-generation systems such as the F-35 and B-21 bombers. Meanwhile, military self-reliance and the need to counter the U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacific have accelerated China's R&D investments in advanced weaponry. That said, the market also faces certain challenges in terms of high development costs, complex integration, and long procurement cycles. Pressing ahead despite such restraint, the conjunction of hypersonic and AI-based technologies looks set to shift the dynamic of the market, therefore driving the adoption of next-generation airborne weapon systems across the globe.

  • The global airborne weapon system market growth was about 2.8% during the historic period (2019-2023).

Defence Modernization, Advanced Missile Technology, and Geopolitical Tensions are Major Factor Attributing the Demand for Airborne Weapon Systems,” says a Fact.MR analyst.

Market Growth Stratagems:

Market participants take part in developing new air defence systems, and modernization of existing platforms with the latest technologies such as AI and augmented reality to improve training and, at the same time operational output. Multinational joint development is initiated for modular defence solutions to address diverse combat scenarios and boost overall modern warfare capabilities. For Instance,

In June 2023, The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) established the Modular Ground-Based Air Defence Support Partnership (Modular GBAD SP), with 10 NATO nations. This partnership will develop a multinational framework for Very Short, Short, and Medium-Range Ground-Based Air Defence capabilities until early 2028.

In September 2023, Serbia unveiled the "HARPAS" mobile air defense system at the Partner 2023 International Defense Exhibition. Integrated on the M84 Main Battle Tank chassis, the hybrid artillery weapon features 40 mm Bofors guns, anti-aircraft missiles, advanced radar, and AI-powered targeting, redefining anti-aircraft defense capabilities for modern warfare.
