Strategic Initiatives: Growing Funding Activities Globally

Published: Apr 2023

The global directed energy weapons market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period (2023-2030). With the rise in terrorist activities, nations require cutting-edge and exceptionally proficient safeguarding gear to protect the citizens of their nation. A significant piece of the budget is spent on the R&D of new technologies in the defense sector, that are further utilized to improve arms, ammunition, safeguard systems, and direct attack weapons. For instance, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, global defense spending has been on a strong upward trajectory over the last five years, increasing from $1.7 trillion in 2017 to $2.0 trillion in 2022. Moreover, in 2021, Member States allocated a record $8.0 billion to European collaborative defense equipment procurement projects, almost double the $4.7 billion recorded in 2020, according to the European Defense Agency.
