Target Acquisition Systems Market Analysis
The target acquisition systems market is anticipated to register a CAGR of more than 5.5% during the forecast period (2021-2030).
The global military spending increased by 2.6% to reach USD 1981 billion in 2020, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Nevertheless, the defense spending may come down in the near future due to the global economic crisis triggered by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This factor is expected to challenge the growth of the target acquisition systems market during the forecast period. The pandemic has resulted in few disruptions in the supply chains of major military vehicle and weapon system programs and has resulted in a reduction in production output. This has also negatively impacted the players in the related supply chains, like the target acquisition system providers.
The ever-increasing need to ensure national security against a variety of threats is forcing the militaries to modernize their military weapons and vehicle fleets with newer generation capabilities. This is driving them to procure new platforms featuring advanced target acquisition systems or to upgrade existing assets by integrating sophisticated sub-systems offering better target acquisition and designation capabilities. This factor is expected to drive the market growth in the years to come.
The ongoing advancements in automatic weapons systems and the increasing use of unmanned systems for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) purposes are expected to propel the growth of the target acquisition systems market during the forecast period.
