Electronic Warfare Market to Reach USD 19.4 Billion by 2028; Forecast Shows 12.5% CAGR Driven by AI-enabled Systems, Space & Air Platforms, and Rising Defense Spend

The Electronic Warfare Market Value is projected to be USD 19.4 billion by 2028, growing from USD 12.75 billion in 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period.
The global [https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/electronic-warfare-market-1301.html?utm_source=abnewswire.com&utm_medium=PaidPR&utm_campaign=electronicwarfaremarket] was valued at USD 11.59 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 12.75 billion in 2025 to USD 19.4 billion by 2028, representing a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.

The MarketsandMarkets analysis attributes the strong growth outlook to accelerating military modernization programs, increasing geopolitical tensions, and rapid adoption of advanced technologies - especially artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), software-defined radios, and cognitive EW capabilities that enable adaptive sensing and response across the electromagnetic spectrum. The rise of multi-domain operations (land, sea, air, space, and cyber) and renewed investments in space- and airborne-based EW platforms are also important demand drivers.

Growth Drivers

* Rising geopolitical tensions & defense modernization: Renewed great-power competition and regional conflicts are accelerating procurement and upgrades of EW systems.
* Technology integration (AI/ML & software-defined systems): Cognitive EW, automated signal classification, and software-defined radios increase system effectiveness and drive demand for upgrades and new procurements.
* Multi-domain and space-centric operations: Increased emphasis on space-based sensing and protection, plus integration of EW into air, naval, and ground platforms, expands addressable market.
* Growing need for spectrum dominance and counter-UAV/loitering munitions capabilities: Tactical EW solutions to defeat drones, guided munitions, and adversary sensing are a major procurement focus.

Challenges & Restraints

*
Spectrum congestion and legal/regulatory complexity: Civilian use of the electromagnetic spectrum creates interference and regulatory constraints that can complicate deployment and testing.

*
High costs and long procurement cycles: Advanced EW systems require significant R&D, integration, and validation, keeping acquisition timelines and budgets elevated.

*
Rapid obsolescence and cybersecurity risks: As EW systems become software-centric, maintaining cyber-resilient, upgradable architectures is challenging and costly.

*
Export controls and geopolitics: International sales are constrained by export licensing regimes and shifting alliances, which can limit addressable market for some vendors.

Opportunities

*
Modular, upgradeable open architectures: Governments and primes are seeking plug-and-play EW modules and common standards that lower lifecycle costs and speed upgrades.

*
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) + AI-enabled solutions: Hybrid approaches that combine military-grade hardware with rapidly evolving commercial software/AI can accelerate capability fielding.

*
Counter-UAS and tactical EW for small units: Lightweight, soldier-portable EW systems and vehicle-mounted solutions represent sizable growth pockets.

*
Space EW and resilient SATCOM protection: Demand for space-hardened EW and SATCOM protection is growing with greater reliance on space-based assets
