Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Market Research Report Information Information by Type (Land-Based and Submarine-Based), Range (Above 10,000 km and below 10,000 km), Payload (Multiple Warheads and Single Warhead) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East Africa and Latin America) - Forecast till 2030

Market Scenario

Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM ) Market Size Is Anticipated To Grow At A USD $12.90 At 11.7% CAGR By 2021-2030.

Intercontinental ballistic missile, commonly termed as ICBM, is a guided ballistic missile that can deliver one or more nuclear warheads. It has a minimum range of 5,500 km and is faster and covers greater range when compared to other ballistic missiles, such as Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM). Modern ICBMs support Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicles (MIRVs), enabling a single missile to carry multiple re-entry vehicles (warheads), each of which can strike a different target. ICBMs are major nuclear deterrents, and only a few nations possess the technology to launch such long-range weaponry. They can be deployed from multiple platforms, such as missile silos, trucks, and submarines.

Owing to the increasing border threats, national security concerns, and changing nature of warfare, countries such as Russia and the US are investing in enhancing their missile arsenal. They are also concentrating on modernizing their old missiles with new propulsion systems and warheads. Concurrently, several countries, including North Korea, have joined the arms race and are consistently focusing on developing new and more destructive ICBMs. Meanwhile, countries in the Middle East are working on developing ICBMs despite nuclear sanctions.
