Market Share of Artillery Systems Industry
The artillery systems market is fragmented, with many global and local players contributing significantly to the growth of the market through competitive pricing and innovation. Some of the major companies in the artillery systems market include BAE Systems plc, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Hanwha Group, Leonardo S.p.A, Elbit Systems Ltd., and Nexter Group. The companies are mainly focusing on enhancing the capabilities of their artillery systems portfolio to increase their market share.
Foreign players are competing with local players to gain multi-billion long-term contracts. Some players have also partnered with local companies to expand their customer base and share technical expertise. Tensions across Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific are generating the demand for new artillery systems. The demand is also higher in the US, which is trying to fill in the gaps to strengthen its land forces by replacing the aging systems with new artillery systems. Also, a growing focus on strengthening naval capabilities over the past decade has resulted in significant new orders for frigates, corvettes, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and offshore vessels, thereby generating the need for new artillery guns.
For instance, in May 2023, Elbit Systems announced that as part of an agreement between the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Netherlands Ministry of Defense, it was awarded a contract worth USD 305 million to supply Precise & Universal Launching System (PULS) artillery rocket systems to the Royal Netherlands Army.
Likewise, In November 2022, JPEO A&A and ACC-Rock Island awarded a new task order to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems to build a new 155 mm artillery metal parts production line in Texas that will utilize free-flow forming technology, which delivers flexible, cost-effective, and precise metal forming with higher machine speeds and more accurate, uniform products.
