DRIVING FACTORS

Rising International Threats and Investment in Warfare Techniques to Accelerate the Product Sales

The bygone century and the present century have gone through some of the most horrific wars in world history. As scientific advancements take over the traditional warfare techniques, the major nations of the world predominantly the superpowers have a vision and they are focusing on implanting new-fangled war equipment to establish authority in the global power dynamics. In light of the recent events, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has augmented the developed nations to strengthen their defence.

The ongoing international conflicts have braced the world for fresh defence equipment upgradation. According to the reports published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, countries such as the United States, China, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia's defence budget sums up to 60 % of global military spending. The uncertainties in global politics and the increase in aggressive colonial behaviours have urged every nation to adopt the latest efficient war technology. The ongoing security concern is compelling the nations to focus on replacing the existential missile with new propulsion systems and warheads. Furthermore, the countries' desperation to put an end to terrorism has put an obligation to withhold strong military weapons.  The surge in terrorist activities across the globe is another growth factor.  The present international tension and crisis will accelerate the intercontinental ballistic missile market in the forecasted year.

Technological Advancement to Propel the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Market Demand

The contemporary war is won by the amount of high-tech warfare equipment a country possesses. Everything is revolutionized after the era of industrialization. The intercontinental ballistic missile was first utilized during the second world war. The post-cold war phase witnessed the nation investing in developing this weapon. In 2014, China published reports on the development of its newest generation of the intercontinental ballistic missile. India also marked the possession of an intercontinental ballistic missile after the successful test. The superpowers are striving to make the existing weapon more efficient and at the same time the other nations are gearing up for their first intercontinental ballistic missile. The incorporation of technology into warfare will boost the intercontinental ballistic missile market in the forecasted year.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Technological Expertise and High Cost to Hamper the Market Growth

The warfare equipment is limited to developed countries. The underprivileged countries are finding it difficult to invest in military equipment. The economic burden has become so overwhelming for the developing nations that warfare investments are their secondary thoughts. Furthermore, the high cost associated with deployment and manufacturing including the shipment and manufacturing cost makes it less feasible for the intercontinental ballistic missile market size. The competition is increasing as there are other alternatives in the market. In addition to the existing problem, the training institute is scarce in numbers as a result trained professionals are low in number.
