Industry Insights

Recent technological, battlefield and market trends continue to highlight artillery's critical role in warfare. While basic concepts such as range and lethality remain as crucial as ever, as new technologies come into the fray, artillery platforms and tactics have also evolved. Mobility and networking have become paramount for its survival, while the advent of loitering munitions has expanded the artillery lethality envelope. To best express and present these trends in preparation for the Future Artillery Conference, we have created an interactive market report so that you may answer your market and trend questions and better arm yourself for the market's future. This report covers:

• Coastal Artillery
• Gun/Tube Type Artillery
• Loitering Munition
• Precision Ammunition
• Rocket Artillery
• Target Acquisition Technologies
  

At a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.2%, combined with an increasingly complex battlefield, demands for artillery platforms are not only increasing in quantity but changing in nature. As forces shift to near-peer deterrence, new mobility, targeting, range, networking, and lethality capabilities are required. This report covers the artillery sector's most critical programmes, spending, and forecasts. This report covers programmes related to:

• Gun/Tube artillery
• Rocket Artillery
• Precision Ammunition
• Loitering Munitions
• Target Acquisition Technologies such as AI
• Coastal Artillery
  

The global artillery systems market is expected to grow by about US$2 billion in the next 4 years due to a number of security pressures. Not only are they expected to increase in platform numbers, there is a concerted effort to increase their capabilities and effectiveness through the use of new technologies. To help capture that growth and development, we have provided a market report of the countries attending our Future Artillery Conference in 2024. Whether you are looking to be better informed or expand your talking points, this report covers the expenditures on:

• Rockets
• Gun/tube type artillery
• Loitering munitions
• Target acquisition technologies (AI)

Several defence news outlets have reported with some fanfare that the future of towed artillery looks bleak. Simply put, because of faster kill chains, better ISR, precision ammunition, and the shift towards preparing for near-peer competition, the mobility of artillery assets has gained a premium status in the minds of military planners. When one examines the Defence iQ Market report, one notices that most programmes are for Self-Propelled Howitzers. The calls that towed artillery heads for extinction are misleading, as they still fulfil a niche role due to some advantages over SPHs. This opinion piece briefly explores why this is.
