Driving Factors

Rising Threat of Remotely Triggered Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)to Boost Market Growth

Electronic warfare is used to control the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum to analyze, detect, and track potential threats. It enables countries to undertake effective strategies to avoid upcoming attacks and enhance safety. The rising threat of remotely triggered Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) is expected to enhance the adoption of EW systems. Furthermore, the emergence of new warfare tactics, such as asymmetric war and hybrid war techniques, is expected to drive the electronic warfare market growth.

However, the high cost associated with the manufacturing of warfare systems is likely to hinder the market’s progress.
