Overview and Scope

The directed energy weapons refer to a system that uses energy primarily as a direct means to disable, harm, or destroy enemy facilities, equipment, and troops. The directed energy weapons use technologies that focus electromagnetic energy or create atomic or subatomic particles. High-powered radio frequency or microwave devices, charged or neutral particle beam weapons, and high-energy lasers are some of the direct energy weapons.

Sizing and Forecast

The directed energy weapons market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $5.69 billion in 2023 to $7.13 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emerging threats and security challenges, military modernization and defense budgets, geopolitical tensions, increased protection against drones and missiles, and non-lethal crowd control.

The directed energy weapons market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to cybersecurity and electromagnetic spectrum protection, increasing non-lethal civilian applications, increasing defense against hypersonic threats, commercial and civilian market expansion, and energy efficiency and cost reduction. Major trends in the forecast period include international arms control agreements, technological innovations, innovative solutions, strategic partnerships, and advancements in energy weapon technologies.

Major Driver Impacting Market Growth

The rising modernization and investment in military platforms drive the directed energy weapons market. A war for power is going on globally, which needs modernization and increased investment in military and defense. Every country wants to remain in power and compete with its competitors, so they are adopting advanced and modern weapons, such as directed energy weapons. For instance, in April 2023, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a Sweden-based specialized institute, world military expenditure reached a new record high of $2,240 billion in 2022, which is an increase of 3.7% in real terms compared to 2021. The top three spenders in 2022 were the United States, China, and Russia, accounting for 56% of the world total. The United States remained the world’s largest military spender, with a budget of $877 billion, which was 39% of the total global military spending. Therefore, such investments in military and defense will propel the directed energy weapons market.
