Trends And Strategies Shaping The Missiles Industry, 2025-2033: Strategic Insights Reveal Increasing Expenditure And New Tech As Core Drivers


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The global missile market sees growth with high demand in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Opportunities arise from evolving technologies, regional modernization, and varied missile types and guidance systems.

Dublin, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Missiles - Market and Technology Forecast to 2033" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

Missiles continue to play a major role in conflicts around the world. As the conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, Syria, show, missiles remain indispensable in any modern conflict. The demand for various types of missiles continues to increase the world over. While the United States remains the largest market for missiles as well as the biggest export of missiles, we continue to witness robust demand for missiles in both Asia and the Middle East. According to our research, this demand will continue to increase during the forecast period of this study.

This study examines, analyses, and predicts the evolution of missile technologies, markets, and outlays (expenditures) over the next 8 years: 2025-2033. It also examines the major missile system markets geographically, focusing on the top 95% of global markets, in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In this study we analyse the market size of the global missile systems market for the period 2025-2033. We primarily focus on the key markets - Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.

As of now the United States remains the largest market for missile systems. European Union and China are the other two major markets. Throughout the report we show how missiles are being used today as a force multiplier by the militaries of U.S, China and a few other countries. To provide the most thorough and realistic forecast, this study provides a twin-scenario analysis, including "steady state", emergence of new missile technology.
