Market Highlights
The Global Artillery Systems Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.29% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 13.04 billion by 2035.
The rapid increase in defense spending and ongoing military modernization programs is significantly contributing to the growth of the artillery systems market. Global territorial disputes and geopolitical tensions have led nations to prioritize investments to strengthen their security infrastructure. Countries such as the United States, China, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom collectively accounted for 62 percent of global defense expenditure in 2020.
Governments are focused on developing precision-based, long-range artillery capabilities that can enhance battlefield superiority. The deployment of advanced technologies, including automated fire control systems and high mobility platforms, is enabling improved lethality and tactical advantage during operations. For instance, in 2020, Russia introduced the S35 Koalitsiya SV self-propelled howitzer featuring automatic real-time firing control and the capability to fire up to 10 rounds per minute to a range of 50 kilometers.
Manufacturers are continuously investing in research and development to bring advanced artillery products like mobile howitzers, rocket artillery, and enhanced ammunition handling systems into service with improved reliability and operational efficiency. In September 2020, the US Army awarded Lockheed Martin a USD 183 million contract to develop and supply High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems. In March 2022, Elbit Systems was awarded contracts worth USD 130 million to deliver artillery munition production lines in an Asia-Pacific nation.
