Global Market for Rocket and Missile is Anticipated to grow at a Significant Pace i.e., USD 80.5 Billion during the Forecast Period 2025 - 2030

Published Date: Mar, 2024

The report "Rocket and Missile Market by Speed (Subsonic, Supersonic, and Hypersonic), by Propulsion Type (Solid, Liquid, Hybrid, Scramjet, Turbojet, and Ramjet), by Launch Mode (Surface to Surface, Surface to Air, Air to Air, Air to Surface, and Subsea to Surface), by Product (Cruise Missiles, Ballistic Missiles, Rockets, and Torpedoes) - Global Forecast to 2030", The global rocket and missile market is expected to grow at a 6% CAGR during the forecast period. Rockets are unguided, self-propelled weapons that are driven by rocket motors or jet engines. Missiles are self-propelled, guided weapons that are employed in air-to-air, surface-to-air, and air-to-surface combat. Due to their versatility as long-range, medium-range, or short-range missiles, rockets and missiles are essential in every fight. Thus, the defense forces in the developed and emerging economies are having huge market demand for technologically developed rockets and missiles to combat war situations. Moreover, the upsurge in geopolitical instabilities globally is one of the primary factors that is propelling the market growth of the global rocket and missile industry.  The market expansion is further accelerated by the increase in defense spending by developing countries like China and India and the rising miniaturization of missiles and their components as well as the advancement in military technology. Various governments, including the United States, China, India, and Russia, are investing heavily in modernizing their military forces. As a result, many weapon manufacturers are shifting their focus to designing rockets and missiles.

On August 30, 2022, Saab announced that it had recently conducted the first test firing of the advanced Meteor Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missile (BVRAAM) on its all-new Gripen E, with "a successful end-to-end target result."
