Segmentation
By Launch Mode
- Surface-To-Surface: This segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019 and is expected to register a steady CAGR during the forecast period. The surface-to-surface rockets and missiles are conventional weapons and thus are primarily used by the military forces.
- Air-To-Surface: The segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the review period. The increasing use of guided missiles that are launched by fighter jets and helicopters is expected to drive the growth of this segment.
- Surface-To-Air: The segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2019. This can be attributed to the increasing use of surface-to-air missiles for destroying enemy aircraft.
By Propulsion
- Solid Propulsion: The segment dominated the rocket and missile market in 2019. This is due to the wide use of solid-state propulsion systems in rockets.
- Hybrid Propulsion: The segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing demand for hybrid propulsion systems for intercontinental ballistic missiles.
- Turbojet: The segment is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period, 2019 to 2026. The turbojet propulsion systems are widely used in missiles.
By Region
- North America: North America dominates the rocket and missile market and is projected to continue to do so throughout the forecast period. The increasing adoption of rocket and missile by the US and Canada for performing military missions are expected to drive the growth of the regional market.
- Europe: Europe accounted for the second-largest market share in 2019 primarily due to the presence of prominent players, such as Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, Thales Group, MBDA Holdings SAS, and Saab AB, and increasing investments by these companies in developing advanced rockets and missiles.
- Asia-Pacific: The market in this region is projected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing defense expenditure and rising terrorist activities in India, Indonesia, and Australia are driving the growth of the regional market.
- Middle East & Africa: The increasing defense expenditures by countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel is driving the growth of the rocket and missile market in the Middle East & Africa.
- Latin America: An increase in the use of advanced weapon systems by the defense organizations in Brazil and Mexico is also expected to boost the demand for rockets and missiles in the region.
