December , 2022 / “Global Military Laser Rangefinder Market Research Report - Forecast To 2025” – Market Analysis, Scope, Stake, Progress, Trends and Forecast to 2025.


Global Military Laser Rangefinder Market – Overview


Military Laser Rangefinder Market is estimated to witness 6.70% CAGR during the forecast period, 2018-2025.


Development of 21st century digital warfare means has changed the outlook on defense. Many countries have been rapidly moving towards upgradation of their current airborne offence & defense systems. This never-ending race between detection and stealth technologies is the major reason for rapid developments within technologies such as drones, and military rangefinders as well as their applications. Military laser rangefinders market is expected to be driven primarily by growing demand for lightweight laser rangefinders and miniature rangefinders. Lightweight rangefinders provide advantages such as faster mobility, and significantly reduced fatigue among troops on account of low weight as well as added built-in functions such as GPS, and data sharing. Miniature rangefinders are also expected to find increased preference in the next few years. Miniature rangefinders not only allow size advantage but also provide with increased accuracy & safety as well as efficient military operations.


Ability to achieve high level of integration and interoperability along with unmanned air vehicles (UAV) is expected to create large opportunities for laser rangefinders.  Inception of miniature rangefinders, coupled with the rapid implementation of UAVs for numerous military operations has opened up an entirely new avenue for the laser rangefinder market.


Although rangefinders as a product has advanced at a very fast pace, inherent damage on health following prolonged usage is yet to be tackled completely. Issues ranging from skin damage to corneal inflammation and retinal burn haven’t been resolved. Apart from health concerns, market for laser rangefinders is also affected by shortcomings in its operation in difficult weather conditions. Although night vision feature has already been implemented in lot of rangefinders, inability of lasers to operate in smoke screens as well as extreme weathers such as dense fog, storm, and heavy snow poses a major obstacle for the market growth. 


The military laser rangefinder market was valued at USD 530.2 million in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 803.4 million by 2025 with a CAGR 6.29%, during the forecast period 2018-2025.
