Electronic Warfare Market Outlook 2031
The global electronic warfare market size was valued at USD 18.50 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 27.97 Billion by 2031, expanding at a considerable CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the development across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electronic warfare (EW) can be described as any activity involving the use of the directed energy or electromagnetic spectrum to control the spectrum, attack an adversary, or obstruct hostile attacks.
The goal of electronic warfare is not to offer any opponent the leverage of the electromagnetic spectrum while ensuring that allied forces have unrestricted access to it. EW can be used by unmanned and manned systems from the land, air, sea, or space to target radar, communication, and other civilian and military assets.
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic had a negative influence on the market. Reduction in defense budgets and supply chain disruptions as a result of the global lockdown enforced by governments, which is likely to impede the demand for electronic warfare. The market is expected to quickly recover, since various industries have restarted operations as COVID-19 instances have gradually reduced around the world.
Electronic Warfare Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing procurement of electronic warfare systems globally is one of the key factors driving the market growth.
- Rising adoption of EW in unmanned aerial vehicles is expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.
- Growing adoption of infrared, electro-optic, and visual techniques is projected to fuel the market expansion during the forecast period.
- High cost associated with deployment of the technology presents a major challenge. This is anticipated to hamper the market growth in the projected period.
- Development of new-generation air and missile defense systems by countries is projected to create significant growth opportunities for the market in the near future.
