Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The need for improved missiles is notably driving the hypersonic missiles market growth, although factors such as ambiguities with hypersonic missiles may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the hypersonic missiles industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Hypersonic Missiles Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the hypersonic missiles market is the Need for improved missiles. The deployment of a particular type of missile or a weapon eventually leads to the development of its counteractants. For example, India has been developing variants of the supersonic missile, BrahMos, which is a short-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile. However, as a countermeasure, the US and Raytheon developed the Standard Missiles-6 (SM-6). These systems were deployed on the destroyers and cruisers of the US Navy to intercept any kind of supersonic missiles. Also, the time taken by the missile to hit its target plays a very important role. For instance, in 1998, the US government tried to neutralize Osama bin Laden in his Al-Qaeda training camp in eastern Afghanistan by launching the Tomahawk land-attack subsonic cruise missiles from the Arabian Sea. However, the missiles traveling at about 550 mph needed two hours to reach their target, which gave him enough time to escape from his hideout. Such failures have stimulated the need to develop faster systems capable of striking at greater speeds. Both the above-mentioned factors have indirectly contributed to the development of highly advanced systems.
Key Hypersonic Missiles Market Trend
The emergence of scramjet technology is another factor supporting the hypersonic missiles market growth in the forecast period. The major propulsion systems currently used in rockets and missiles are turbofans, turbojets, and ramjets. Furthermore, it plays a critical role in determining the range, payload, and speed of a missile. Moreover, supersonic systems, which travel at the speed of Mach 2-4, run on the ramjets technology. However, in recent years, there is an increasing need for rockets with higher speeds. This has led to the development of a new propulsion system called scramjet, or Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. Furthermore, many nations are using scramjet technology for the development of hypersonic missiles, mainly because it draws the external oxygen necessary for the engine combustion and passes it through the vehicle. This eliminates the need to have an onboard tank, thereby making the missiles and aircraft smaller, lighter, and faster. Furthermore, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been working on the development of scramjet technology to eventually cut the space agency's launch costs by half for its upcoming Avatar program. Such ongoing developments are expected to invariably lead to knowledge transfer for the development of hypersonic missiles.
Key Hypersonic Missiles Market Challenge
Ambiguities with hypersonic missiles will be a major challenge for the hypersonic missiles market during the forecast period. The development of hypersonic missiles is clouded with several concerns. Most of it refers to whether a conventional or nuclear warhead is being used. Hypersonic missiles, when fitted with nuclear warheads, can be fatal to the target enemy country. It can also cause nuclear winter that could last for a very long time after the initial attack and eventually leave the area inhabitable. Another ambiguity lies with respect to the target. Nations like the US, Russia, and China are at the forefront of developing super-fast hypersonic missiles. This has made several other countries remain apprehensive that the nations developing these missiles might launch nuclear attacks. Furthermore, another major operational concern of hypersonic boost-glided missiles is related to their predictability. A boost-glide hypersonic missile is not predictable like a ballistic missile, which can project the entire flight path. As these missiles maneuver mid-course, their flight path prediction is not possible. This scenario creates destination ambiguity, where a non-target country may be misinterpreted as the destination of a fired missile. Such ambiguities will always exist, and the development of advanced systems will be an ongoing process.
