Short Range Air Defense Systems Market Outlook – 2027 

The nature of modern warfare has changed with the arrival of more lethal, stealthy, and agile threats. Such change in nature of warfare has enabled countries to invest in defensive expenditure, which has resulted in the development of various air defense systems. Air defense systems are used to take defensive measures to nullify incoming targets such as enemy’s aircraft (fighter jets, air refuelers, and others), missiles (both nuclear & conventional), and unmanned aerial vehicles. The air defense system acts as a anti weapon system for all incoming air threats and is also used for several operations, including air space surveillance with the help of its radars & electro-optic sensors. At present, major companies across the globe are investing heavily in the advancement of air defense systems. For instance, in 2018, Lockheed Martin (an aerospace & defense company, headquartered in Washington U.S.A) invested 1.3 billion USD in research & development of air defense systems.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 Scenario analysis:

• Due to COVID-19 situation, the research & development in short-range air defense systems has been hampered due to the declared lockdowns and government restrictions on public gatherings.
• Slowing sign in economies of several countries has been observed due to COVID-19 effect, which may limit governments investment in the defense projects. Such reduction in investment will directly affect growth in the short-range air defense system market.
• Travel restrictions and reduction in military activities due to COVID-19 has also adversely effected growth of rocket propulsion market, as demand of supportive weapons such as short-range missiles are also affected.
• Demand may rise extensively in global short-range air defense systems market in upcoming quarter as industry’s production has started to get momentum after tough phase of COVID-19.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers and impact analysis

Increase in defense expenditure for the development of air defense systems, rise in procurements of air defense systems, changing nature of warfare, and growing geopolitical instabilities across the globe are some of the major factors that drive the growth of the global short-range air defense systems market. However, high costs involved in the development of air defense systems and international policies regarding transfer of weapons are restraining the market growth. On the contrary, technological advancements in the short-range air defense systems will further fuel the growth of global short-range air defense systems market.

Growth in geopolitical instabilities 

Geopolitical disputes are rising over several issues between countries. For instance, USA & China relation gets deteriorated over COVID-19, trade war, and other issues. Similarly, Russia’s relation with European Union was negatively impacted after Russia captured Crimea. Such disputes have raised countries concern over safety of their land, which has generated demand of short-range air defense systems as such systems have the capability to destroy the aerial target with high accuracy in short range. Hence, growing geopolitical instabilities is driving the growth of short-range air defense systems market.
