The military optronics surveillance and sighting systems market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 2,992.66 million in 2021 to US$ 4.345.09 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2028.
Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and Russia are major economies in Europe. The world is undergoing a ‘fourth industrial’ revolution, characterized by rapid and converging advances in multiple next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). AI is not only undergoing a renaissance in its technical development but is also starting to shape deterrence relations among nuclear-armed states. The potential of weaker nuclear-armed states can be increased with the integration of AI into their military platforms. In January 2021, Lockheed Martin Corp. announced to build three new next-generation infrared spacecraft to help detect enemy ballistic missile launches. In March 2021, Elbit Systems, the Israeli defense company, launched its next-generation advanced multi-sensor payload system (AMPS NG). Team Tempest—a UK technology and a defense partnership formed by BAE Systems, Leonardo, MBDA, Rolls-Royce, and the RAF—announced the development of new radar technology by 2035 to deliver unparalleled data processing capability on the battlespace. Thus, technological advancements in the military and defense system are driving the military optronics surveillance and sighting system market. Thus, implementation of next-gen technologies in defense systems is the major factor driving the growth of the Europe military optronics surveillance and sighting systems market.The COVID-19 outbreak across Europe have had a substantial impact on military capabilities. The armed forces have been a critical component of national crisis response across the European countries. Initially, this covered general military support, such as assistance with command and control, repatriation of citizens, logistics, disinfection of public spaces and also in some countries, support to police and internal security. In addition, in many countries, the armed forces supported the nursing and social care system. This experience identified some friction in the processes of managing demand in national health systems and at European level that would have also constrained strategic casualty regulation and evacuation in the event of major conflict in Eastern Europe. Moreover, the requirement of continuous surveillance for military operations has driven the military optronics surveillance and sighting systems market across European countries during FY 2020. Moreover, a few of the countries across Europe are also disclosing their plans for the acquisition of and investments in defense technologies across their respective armed forces, which is also expected to aid in the growth of the market during the forecast period.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe military optronics surveillance and sighting systems market. The Europe military optronics surveillance and sighting systems market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
