Directed Energy Weapons Market
Directed Energy Weapons Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Technology (High Energy Laser, High Power Radio Frequency, Electromagnetic Weapons, and Sonic Weapons), by Laser (Chemical Laser, Fiber Laser, Free Electron Laser, and Solid -State Laser), by Application (Homeland Security, Military, and Defense), and by Platform (Land, Airborne, Naval, and Space) Forecast Period (2023-2030) Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030
Directed energy weapons market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. The rising geographical conflicts and increasing demand for advanced military devices in combat applications are propelling the demand for a globally directed energy weapons market. Additionally, the growing investments by several defense and military organizations in the modernization of existing infrastructures to enhance national security are also augmenting market growth. According to the US Department of Defense in 2023 the regulatory body allotted a budget of $773 billion. This budget represents a $30.7 billion or 4.1% increase over 2022. Compared to the 2021 level, 2023 shows a growth of nearly $70 billion or 9.8%. On the other hand, high development costs and restrictions on anti-personnel lasers are expected to obstruct market growth.
Segmental Outlook
Directed energy weapons market is segmented based on technology, laser, application, and platform. Based on technology, the market is segmented into high energy lasers, high power radio frequency, electromagnetic weapons, and sonic weapons. Based on laser the market is categorized into a chemical laser, fiber laser, free electron laser, and solid-state laser. Based on application, the market is segmented into homeland security, military, and defense. Based on the platform, the market is divided into land, airborne, naval, and space. Based on application, the homeland sub-segment is anticipated to grow at a favorable rate, owing to the high adoption rate of directed energy weapons for various homeland security applications.
Based on technology, the high-energy laser segment has registered substantial growth in the global directed energy weapons market. The application of high-energy lasers as part of missile defense systems is expected to increase, with major defense spenders increasingly adopting these solutions and showing interest in developing such solutions. For instance, in March 2021, MBDA and CILAS collaborate with SIGN4L to explore co-development opportunities in high-energy laser weapons systems to destroy drones. In addition, to combat airborne threats such as missiles and drones, the demand for high laser weapons in the navy is rapidly rising across the globe. For instance, the IIA DDG Arleigh Burke destroyer is scheduled to have Lockheed Martin's High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance, or HELIOS, permanently installed on board in 2021.
Regional Outlooks
The global directed energy weapons market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. The European region is anticipated to witness considerable growth in the market. Increasing funding by regulatory bodies to the defense, and weapons sectors, coupled with border disputes among the region drive the market growth. For instance, in 2021, the MDA’s directed energy demonstrator development program received $42 million in funding from the department of defense.
Global Directed Energy Weapons Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030
The European Region Leads in the Global Directed Energy Weapons Market
The European region is anticipated to hold a prominent market share in the market. The growth is mainly attributed owing increasing government expenditure for the military and defense sector, along with the presence of major market players such as Boeing, Moog Inc, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., and others in the region that are providing an immense range of new and innovative energy weapons. According to the European Defence Agency (EDA)2022, in 2021, the total defense expenditure of the 26 EDA Member States amounted to $216 billion. In 2021, 18 MS increased their defense expenditure compared to 2020, six MS raised their defense expenditure by more than 10%.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global directed energy weapons market include Lockheed Martin Corp., MBDA, Honeywell International Corp., Thale Group, The Boeing Co., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansions, partnerships, product launches, and collaborations, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in November 2022, the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) completed its first long-range laser-directed energy weapon (LDEW) test at Porton Down. The test validated the performance and viability of high-energy laser and related technologies, such as its beam director, to intercept ranged targets.
