Global Loitering Munition Market Size to Reach USD 4.10 Billion in 2032 | Emergen Research

Rising demand for precise, efficient, and cost-effective military capabilities is one of the major factors driving loitering munition market revenue growth 


Vancouver, Oct. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global loitering munition market size was USD 1.09 Billion in 2022 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period, according to the latest analysis by Emergen Research. Rising demand for advanced military warfare systems, rising demand for precise, efficient, and cost-effective military capabilities, increase in military friendly fire incidents, and rise in geopolitical tensions and conflicts are some of the major factors driving the market revenue growth.

Loitering munitions are low-cost guided precision munitions that are flown in a holding pattern for a lengthy period of time and quickly attack land or sea targets away from the user's line of sight. At a relatively modest cost, these unmanned aerial vehicles carrying a warhead are increasingly used to target things such as tanks, military hardware, and soldiers. This invention is quickly transforming the battlefield and making ready-made air power available to non-state actors and nations with little financial resources. Modern warfare has seen an increase in the use of loitering weapons, often known as kamikaze drones, particularly in conflicts including the one in the Ukraine where they have been successfully used to destroy military hardware and other targets., which is driving revenue growth of the market.

The development of this industry is being fueled by some of the major technological advances that are having an impact on loitering munitions, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Swarm technology. Some lingering weapons, such as Kronshtadt's Molniya, have the ability to act in swarms. The usage of swarm technology enables munitions to perform a wider range of tasks and to replace alternative options in certain situations.  AI is a crucial symbiotic technology since it helps the system become autonomous. The AI built into the system is essential to its ability to recognize targets, determine attack and attack profiles, and wave off attacks. In particular, large-scale deployment calls for AI for swarm technology.

One of the major challenges restraining revenue growth of the market is concerns regarding surrounding false alarm rates and inaccuracy. The use of loitering munitions in a safe and effective manner on the battlefield is fraught with difficulties. First off, a suicidal flying weapon without human control raises questions about accountability in relation to International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and rules of armed conflict.

These weapons will provide significant security and accountability challenges, particularly in the hands of aggressive non-state actors. In addition, lingering munitions rely on AI algorithms, which can occasionally make mistakes or have technical limitations. These flaws cause errors in judgment that can result in combat situations when blue-on-blue events, collateral damage, and unintended target engagement occur, which is restraining revenue growth of the market.
