Top Growth Drivers in the Defense Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The market is seeing a significant trend towards the use of unmanned combat vehicles. These vehicles, autonomous or remotely controlled, do not require direct human intervention for their operation. They come equipped with a variety of sensors that facilitate 360-degree situational awareness, optical avoidance capabilities, steering actuators, brakes, and laser scanners, among other features. These vehicles can be used for environment assessment, conveying the collected data to human operators through teleoperation, or independently addressing complex technical scenarios. For example, in November 2022, under its emergency powers, the Indian army initiated several drone purchases urgently, collectively costing nearly 3 billion rupees (approximately $36 million) for each program. The recent call for bids includes 1,000 unmanned surveillance helicopters, 163 high-altitude logistics drones, 750 remotely piloted aerial vehicles, and 80 miniature remotely piloted aircraft systems.

What Trends Will Shape the Defense Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
The demand for corner shot weapons is rising due to their enhanced safety capabilities. A corner shot is essentially a firearm attachment, which can be installed on various pistols like a Glock or a Beretta 92, and is designed as a hinged frame. This hinge system facilitates bending of the gun's frame, allowing it to take aim around corners without putting soldiers at risk. Additional features include a high-resolution video camera that is bore-sighted, an LCD screen, and an incorporated tactical light to assist with navigation and brightness. These changed rifles or pistols are commonly deployed on battlefields, in armoured vehicles and tanks, as well as on turrets, enabling a comprehensive 360-degree coverage, while ensuring the shooter's safety within the vehicle. Depending on the specific weapon, this firearm can deliver accurate and effective shots up to a range of 100 to 200 meters.
