Missile Guidance System Market Outlook – 2027 

Missile guidance systems act as a complete system which includes electronics and mechanical elements which navigate, steer, control, and stabilize a missile toward the target. The guidance system tracks down the location of the moving target in space by suitable methods, chases down the target until it hits the target with accuracy. The use of guidance systems increases a missiles ’Single Shot Kill Probability (SSKP). These systems are used in anti-aircraft missiles, anti-shipping missiles, anti-submarine missiles, air defense systems, and anti-radiation missiles.

The global missile guidance system market is driven by the increase in investment in the defense sector by the developing and the developed countries to increase the weapons capability. This is attributed to the increase in territorial conflicts among countries. However, variation in raw supply costs and high capital investment are the main restraints in the global missile guidance system market. High capital investment means low affordability to the under-developing countries, this limits the expansion of the market. On the contrary, like any other sector, the defense sector is also bound to undergo technological advancements, which is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market. Efforts are being made to reduce the size, weight, and power of guidance systems. On the other hand, the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) as the cheap and safe alternative for manned aircrafts is bound to open new area for the growth of the global missile guidance system market.

The global missile guidance system market is segmented by launch platform, type of guidance system, end user, and region. By launch platform, the market is segmented into air-to-air, air-to-surface, surface-to-air, anti-ship, and anti-tank missiles. By type of guidance system, the market is categorized into command guidance system, beam rider guidance system homing guidance system, and inertial guidance system. The end users of missile guidance system includeground vehicles, combat aircrafts, ships, submarines, and UAVs. By region, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. China tops the market in the Asian region due to enormous military spending.

The key players involved in the design, development, manufacturing, and induction of missile guidance systems are Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Thales Group, BAE Systems, DRDO, and Luna. These players are involved in rigorous research activities, to enhance the guidance systems and expand their respective presence globally.
