Artillery Systems Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Global Military Expenditure

The evolving modern warfare scenario has compelled governments of various countries across the globe to assign significant funds and financial aid toward respective defense and military forces. The defense budget allocation supports army and military forces to obtain enhanced technologies and equipment from domestic or international developers. On the other hand, military and army vehicle upgrades are on the rise owing to growing defense budget allocation. Furthermore, the increasing governmental expenditure showcases governments' focus on strengthening national security forces. There is an increased need to reinforce military and border security forces with advanced surveillance, communication, navigation equipment, artilleries, armaments, and vehicles, among others; thus, military forces worldwide are focusing on investing significant amounts in procuring artillery systems and other advanced technologies. Defense forces' constant inclination to acquire new technologies for noncombat and combat operations further boosts military expenditure worldwide.

As per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global military expenditure increased to US$ 2443 billion in 2023, representing a 13.7% increase from 2022. The US, China, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia were the top five spenders in 2023, accounting for around 61% of global expenditures. The figure given below depicts the yearly spending of these countries.

Military Expenditure of Top Five Countries (2021–2023)

Country	2021 (US$ Billion)	2022 (US$ Billion)	2023 (US$ Billion)
US	800.67	876.94	916.00
China	293.35	291.96	296.00
Russia	65.91	86.37	109.01
India	76.59	81.36	83.60
Saudi Arabia	55.56	75.01	75.80

The increasing military expenditure encourages incorporating advanced warfare technologies such as high-range antennas, self-propelled artillery, advanced communication devices, unmanned vehicles, radars, missile detection systems, surveillance and navigation systems, and modern warfare technologies. In addition, a high military budget supports the countries in assigning resources for the advancement and upgrade of their existing air, ground-based, and naval defense systems.

Deployment of Countermeasure Systems

The changing geopolitical scenario worldwide boosts the requirement for strong defense countermeasure systems. The constant tension between the nations such as Russia-Ukraine, India-China, Pakistan-India, Israel-Palestine, and US-China is compelling their governments to strengthen their respective armed forces, which is also propelling the procurement of warfare systems such as different types of mortars and howitzers. Therefore, the armed forces across different countries are investing in procuring artillery systems such as surface-to-air rocket artillery, self-propelled howitzers, early warning systems, and border surveillance systems. BAE Systems, General Dynamics Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., Israel Aerospace Industries Inc., Leonardo S.p.A, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, SAAB AB, and Thales Group are among the companies focusing on developing defense countermeasure systems, including radar systems, artillery systems, communication and surveillance systems, and navigation devices. Thus, the increasing procurement and deployment of countermeasure systems is expected to fuel the growth of the artillery systems market in the coming years.
