Report Description


Smart Weapons Market Outlook 2031

The global smart weapons market size was USD 16.43 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 125.29 Billion by 2031 register a considerable CAGR 5% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising maintenance costs and rapid update of ageing military equipment across countries.

Smart weapons can be described as a range of military arsenal and devices such as bombs and projectiles that are designed to launch using lasers or other methods to execute extreme precision of the targeted objects or locations. Using a guidance system, a smart weapon may hit a target with greater accuracy. Sensor-fused weapons, guided weapons, air-to-ground missiles, and steerable bombs with satellite or laser guidance systems are all majorly components of smart weapons.

Smart Weapons Market Outlook

These satellite-guided bombs also have guidance systems that confirm the target using navigation satellites. The availability and invention of several types of smart weapons has stemmed from advancements in weapon manufacturing technology. For instance, cruise missiles can use clever technology to use navigation satellite data to maintain a proper flight path.

In terms of acceptance and technological complexity, the market is diversified. The Indian Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) successfully tested a newly developed Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon on the Hawk-I jet built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited on January 22, 2021.


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the budget allocation to the defense sector has been significantly curtailed by governments across nations due to shifting focus on addressing healthcare burdens. Emergency lockdown in most countries around the world had a major impact on the military sector, causing important businesses to cease production and delay smart weapon deliveries.

Rafale production was halted in March 2020 due to a production shutdown in France, which resulted in the delay of delivery of fighters to India. Despite the setbacks, the market is likely to grow steadily in the mid-2021 due to increasing subside of virus cases across the globe.

  • Changes in the nature of warfare, increasing need for high precision ammunition and armaments, and growing desire to mitigate security harm are the key factors driving the market.
  • Network enabled weapons can exchange data between network nodes and are in high demand among armed forces worldwide. These are key factors projected to propel the market.
  • Growing number of military forces' replenishment and modernization plans by major economies due to rising geo-political tension or border issues are expected to drive the market.
  • Strict government regulations on guided firearms and existing international norms to limit the testing or using ballistic weapons are major restraining factors that can hamper the market expansion.
  • Increased defense spending, the expansion of military personnel, and the procurement of modern weapons for special operations are all anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for market growth.
