Naval Combat Systems Market Analysis

The Naval Combat Systems Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 2.5% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in several supply chain constraints on a global scale which has escalated the cost of acquisition for several naval programs. With shipyard workers being exposed to COVID-19 infection, the overall attendance declined by 50% during the peak of the pandemic, which resulted in the slight extension of deadlines for the completion of several shipbuilding programs.

The naval combat systems market is driven by the demand for new naval vessels as a result of the envisioned and ongoing fleet modernization programs of the global armed forces.

Currently, the navies have robustly increased their investments towards the development and deployment of directed energy weapons on board the naval vessels. This trend of installing laser weapon systems is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the market during the forecast period.

However, the inherent capital-intensive nature of the industry due to the associated high cost of R&D and the recent COVID-19-induced disruption in the global supply chain are some of the factors that hinder the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

Naval Combat Systems Industry Overview

Some of the prominent players in the market are Leonardo S.p.A., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Thales Group, and General Dynamics Corporation. Leonardo is one of the major suppliers of weapon systems onboard naval vessel programs in countries like Canada, France, and Germany, among others. For instance, Leonardo was awarded a contract to provide four OTO 127/64 Light Weight (LW) Vulcano naval guns with the Automatic Ammunition Handling System (AAHS) as an optional solution for the new Canadian Surface Combatants (CSC) program, currently being constructed by Irving Shipbuilding Inc. Many players in the market are working together to develop advanced and innovative combat systems for various militaries worldwide. This is expected to help the technology transfer and enhance the mission capabilities due to the integration of different spheres of technologies in the end product. For instance, currently, Saab AB, BAE Systems PLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation are working together to deliver a combat system integration for the Hunter class frigates to Australia. In addition to conventional weapon systems, the naval forces are integrating advanced laser weapon systems onboard a naval vessel for precise targeting. Such partnerships are expected to help the growth of the market and revenues simultaneously for each of the players during the forecast period.
