Global Precision Guided Munition Market is valued at approximately USD 34.27 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of more than 4.50% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) are innovative weapons intended for targeting precise targets with the least amount of collateral damage. These munitions utilize guidance systems such as GPS, lasers, or radar to enhance their precision. Examples of PGMs include guided bombs, cruise missiles, precision artillery munitions, and anti-ship missiles. By incorporating these guidance systems, PGMs greatly improve accuracy, reduce the risk of hitting unintended targets, and enhance the effectiveness of military operations. Furthermore, increasing manufacturing of advanced weapons and cross-border partnership fuels the market space during the forecasted period of 2023-2030.
Moreover, growing investment in defense and rising geopolitical tension are anticipated as the growth drivers of the market. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) in 2023, The Indian government established a target of achieving a defense production value of USD 25 billion by 2025, which includes USD 5 billion from exports. With a substantial defense expenditure of USD 66 billion, accounting for 13.31% of the total budget, India ranks among the largest defense spenders globally. This allocation signifies a significant increase of USD 5.9 billion compared to the budget estimates for 2021-22. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) in 2020, The precision guided munition market benefits from the positive impact of the global arms trade, which can be estimated by aggregating the financial data disclosed by states regarding their arms exports. By considering both the reported value of arms exports and estimates for countries providing data on arms export licenses, agreements, or orders, it becomes possible to approximate the overall value of the global arms trade. In 2020, the estimated value of the global arms trade reached at least USD 112 billion, indicating substantial market potential. Also, it is expected that this estimate surpasses and reflecting the significant economic influence and growth opportunities within the Precision Guided Munition Market. However, growing ethical & legal concerns and limited operational flexibility is hampering the growth of the market during the forecasted period of 2023-2030.
