Based on Type, hypersonic glide vehicles segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The platform segment has been segmented into hypersonic missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles. The growth of hypersonic glide vehicles segment can be attributed to enhanced maneuverability compared to traditional ballistic missiles. Hypersonic glide vehicles can perform sharp turns, change altitude, and adjust their flight path during the glide phase, making them more difficult to track and intercept. This maneuverability increases their survivability by evading enemy defenses and provides a higher chance of successfully reaching their intended targets.
Based on Domain, the airborne segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on domain, the hypersonic weapons industry has been segmented into Land, naval and airborne. Hypersonic weapons are growing in airborne domain. Hypersonic weapons can achieve extra distance by being used from a fighter aircraft, UAV or a bomber which can travel up to few more kilometers. With their high speeds and advanced propulsion systems, these weapons can cover thousands of kilometers or even traverse continents in relatively short periods of time. This extended range capability provides nations with the ability to project power, strike targets in distant locations, and rapidly respond to emerging threats.
Based on Range segment, the short-range segment acquires largest market share in market during the forecast period.
Short Range hypersonic weapons currently have the largest market share in the hypersonic weapons industry due to several reasons. Short-range hypersonic weapons are often designed to operate within a few hundred kilometers. This range allows for rapid response capabilities, quick target engagement, and the ability to strike targets within a specific operational theater or immediate vicinity. The shorter range of these weapons offers several advantages, including reduced flight times, enhanced responsiveness, and improved precision for regional or time-sensitive missions. They can be particularly effective in scenarios where rapid strike capabilities, target interdiction, or localized defense are crucial.
Based on Subsystem, the propulsions segment projected to lead market during the forecast period.
The propulsion systems in hypersonic weapons are projected to lead the hypersonic weapons market due to several reasons. The primary objective of a hypersonic weapon is to achieve speeds that are faster than Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound). Propulsion systems provide the necessary thrust to propel the weapon at such high speeds. The propulsion system must generate sufficient power and thrust to overcome aerodynamic drag and propel the weapon through the atmosphere at hypersonic velocities. Propulsion systems enable the necessary adjustments in speed, altitude, and trajectory to perform manoeuvres and achieve precise target engagement. The ability to change direction, altitude, or perform evasive manoeuvres during flight enhances the weapon's survivability and mission success.
