Smart Weapons Market Forecast 2025-2034: Analysing Major Trends, Opportunities, and Growth Drivers

How Are the key drivers contributing to the expansion of the smart weapons market?
The surge in the smart weapons market can be attributed to escalating global and local unpredictability. This volatility, which is commonly seen in the political environments of neighboring countries, has led many nations to employ smart weapons as a defense against the rising regional instability and potential threats posed by neighboring countries. To illustrate, a study conducted by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a Swiss organization that supports the adoption of digital technology for academia, reported that in May 2023, 64 international peace operations were undertaken in 38 countries worldwide in 2022. This figure surpasses the total operations conducted in the last decade combined. By the end of that same year, 114,984 international personnel were involved in these multinational peace operations around the world, marking a 2.79 percent increase from the previous year. Therefore, this augmentation in transnational and regional unpredictability is fueling the growth of the smart weapons market.

What growth opportunities are expected to drive the smart weapons market's CAGR through 2034?
The market size for smart water management has expanded swiftly in the past few years. The market is predicted to increase from $17.36 billion in 2024 to $20.02 billion in 2025, presenting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. The escalation seen in the historical period is ascribed to factors such as export and international sales, the increasing demand for precision-guided munitions (PGMs), the escalating demand for multi-purpose weapons, emphasis on electronic warfare and countermeasures, alongside the growing demand for interoperable weapons systems.

Accelerated growth is anticipated in the smart water management market size over the next several years. The market will likely rise to $35.82 billion in 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The projected increase during the forecast period is linked to various factors such as anti-terrorism initiatives, budgeting for defense, incorporation of cybersecurity, modernization of military forces, and a surge in demand for accurate strike weapons. Key emerging trends expected during this time frame consist of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ml), miniaturization and enhanced autonomy, directed energy weapons (dew), counter-drone and counter-missile systems, and human-machine collaboration and decision-making support.

What are the emerging trends shaping the future of the smart weapons market?
Leading corporations in the market for intelligent weaponry are honing their focus on the invention of pioneering technologies, such as EDGE intelligent weaponry. This deliberation is aimed at maximising accuracy, lessening accidental damage, and elevating the effectiveness of the battleground. EDGE Intelligent Weapons pertain to state-of-the-art precision-guided ammunition that exploits technologies at the cutting-edge of innovation including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced sensors, all of which serve to augment targeting precision and operational productivity. For example, in November 2023, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., a US-based aerospace firm, unveiled their MQ-9B SkyGuardian RPA. This machine boasts an extended endurance of over 40 hours, excellent surveillance features, high-resolution sensors, and the capability to safely function in civilian airspace alongside commercial aircraft. Its modular structure allows for the integration of configurable payloads which renders it adaptable for different military and humanitarian assignments. A rising trend in the intelligent weapons market is the growth in strategic partnerships and collaborations. One example of this trend took place in February 2021, when a long-term deal between German automotive and weapons producer Rheinmetall Denel Munition and American aerospace and defense technology corporation Northrop Grumman was signed. The contract, aimed at the production of ammunition technologies for future artillery applications, includes equipping 155mm artillery rounds with an integrated M1156 precision guidance kit to boost precision-guided enhanced range artillery ammunition solutions (PGK).
