The hypersonic weapons Market is estimated to be USD 6.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 14.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.4 % during the forecast period.

Due to several factors, the global market for hypersonic weapons is expanding significantly. Hypersonic weapons deliver several key advantages which includes High Speed, Enhanced Precision, Reduced Vulnerability to Defenses, Maneuverability, Deterrence and Strategic Value. Hypersonic weapons have changed the way missile systems can be used,

” Scramjet: The largest share of the Hypersonic Weapons Market by propulsion system in 2023.”
Based on propulsion system, the hypersonic weapons market has been segmented into Scramjet and Boost glide, scramjet is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. Scramjet engines are known for their high efficiency at hypersonic speeds. Unlike traditional rocket engines that carry their own oxidizer, scramjets rely on the intake of atmospheric air for combustion. This makes scramjets more efficient by reducing the amount of onboard propellant required. The high efficiency of scramjets allows for longer flight durations, extended range, and greater payload capacity, making them advantageous for a variety of applications.

” Explosive Warheads”: The largest share of the Hypersonic Weapons Market by Warheads in 2023.”
Based on Warheads, the hypersonic weapons market has been segmented into Explosive Warheads, Kinetic energy penetrators and Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). The use of hypersonic weapons in explosive warheads is growing due to their ability to deliver a high level of destructive power upon impact, allowing hypersonic weapons to effectively neutralize or destroy their intended targets. The combination of high-speed impact and the explosive force of the warhead significantly enhances the weapon’s lethality, making it capable of causing significant damage to both hardened and soft targets.

” Inertial navigation system”: The largest segment of the Hypersonic Weapons Market by guidance system in 2023“
Inertial navigation system has secured the largest market share in guidance system segment of hypersonic weapons primarily due to its high accuracy. Inertial navigation system provides high-precision navigation information for hypersonic weapons. The integration of accurate sensor measurements, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, allows for precise estimation of the weapon’s position, velocity, and orientation. This accuracy is crucial for targeting specific objectives, achieving desired impact points, and minimizing collateral damage.
