Smart Weapons Market to be dominated by Missiles through 2027

The need to procure next-generation weapons and the rise in geopolitical conflicts and cross-border issues are expected to drive the demand for the global smart weapons market in the forecast period, 2023-2027.

According to TechSci Research report, Smart Weapons Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2017-2027, the global smart weapons market is anticipated to witness impressive growth in the forecast period, 2023-2027. Smart weapons are also known as precision-guided weapons. They are computer-guided weapons equipped with radio, global positioning systems, and infrared and laser systems and are highly accurate and precise. Due to their ability to hit the target precisely, they are able to lower the collateral damage and lethality. They can be operated by operating systems that can be located from far locations and, therefore, are considered highly useful. A smart weapon system is expected to transform war engagement and strategies. To enhance the safety of using smart weapons, they are equipped with advanced technologies such as fingerprint recognition, mechanical locks, magnetic kit, and biometric sensors. The global smart weapons market is driven by the rise in terror activities, cross-border disputes, and growing military usage of smart weapons. Also, the rise in the demand for precision weapons and the use of smart weapons for tactical operations are accelerating the demand for smart weapons across the globe. 

However, the imposition of strict arming regulations on the import and export of smart weapons may restrain the growth of the global smart weapons market in the forecast period.
