Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The electronic warfare market in 2020 was valued at $12.80 billion. The market is projected to register a CAGR of more than 1% over the 2021-2030 period. Focus on directed energy weapons, rapid change in the technological advancement in the domain, and the growing concern for electronic protection capabilities are expected to drive the global demand in the electronic warfare market.

The EW market is witnessing greater demand from airborne platforms leading to sustained investment in the airborne EW segment. Modern airborne warfare platforms are putting a greater emphasis on information superiority and situational awareness, and this is expected to be a major factor driving spending in this sector. The global electronic warfare market is witnessing a change in perception with different stakeholders who are seeing EW as a core weapon technology rather than supporting technology. Demand for EW systems are anticipated to be driven by rapid technological advancements in the domain, focus on directed energy weapons, and the growing need for electronic protection capabilities in militaries globally.

What are the market dynamics in the electronic warfare market?

The need to integrate stealth technology and electronic warfare systems into military equipment is anticipated to act as a major demand driver for EW systems, as stealth technology on its own will not be sufficient to combat anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) threats in the future. Communications are under significant attack across two primary areas: electronic warfare and cyberwarfare. In the instance of EW, communications hardening, and increased jamming and intercept capabilities are currently in an ongoing development and fielding race, with techniques also undergoing rapid evolution. Faced with the increasing threat of IEDs, militaries across the globe are armed with dismounted and portable jammers. The increasing focus on portable EW systems will facilitate the development of smaller lightweight personal protection devices to improve warfighting capabilities.

Continuous research and development in the radio frequency, lasers, and other electromagnetic fields is enabling various countries across the globe to develop or procure new devices for systems used in the sophisticated security of the electromagnetic spectrum. The pivot to peer or near-peer conflict is driving advanced technology in EW and will continue to do so for decades to come.

What is the electronic warfare value chain segmentation?

The electronic warfare value chain has been segmented into electronic attack, electronic protection, electronic warfare support, and directed energy weapons.

  • Electronic attack: It is the biggest submarket within EW, in terms of monetary value and extent of proliferation. EA is an offensive instrument seeking to deny the enemy the use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) EA products fit in both offensive and defensive categories in operational terms. The EA means are constantly evolving, due to the evolving nature of the threats they are to counter.
  • Electronic protection: It involves actions taken to protect personnel, facilities, and equipment from any effects of friendly or enemy use of the electromagnetic spectrum that degrade, neutralize, or destroy friendly combat capability. Key tools in this segment include Towed Decoy Systems, Radar Reflective Decoy Chaff, Infrared Flare Dispensers, Electromagnetic hardening, Emission Control (EMCON), Spectrum Management, and Wartime Reserve Modes (WARM).
  • Electronic warfare support: It is the subdivision of EW involving actions tasked by, or under the direct control of, an operational commander to search for, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated EM energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and conduct of future operations.
  • Directed energy weapons: The US Department of Defense (DoD) describes directed energy as an umbrella term covering technologies related to the production of a beam of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles. The leading sectors are lasers and microwave weapons. Particle beam weapons and sonic weapons have also been developed, although there are fewer examples of these.

The electronic warfare support segment is anticipated to account for the largest share of expenditure globally followed by the electronic protection segment. The electronic attack segment is anticipated to account for the third-largest segment of expenditure over the forecast period.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
