Key company references (company → notable value / metric)

  • Lockheed Martin — Missiles & Fire Control (MFC): MFC revenue ≈ $3.37B (recent quarterly/annual run-rate for the missiles/fire-control business).

  • Raytheon Technologies (RTX) — Land & Air Defense / Missile Systems activity: RTX reported adjusted sales of $7,157M in Q4 2024 (growth driven by Patriot, NASAMS and air/land defense programs).

  • Northrop Grumman — total company sales ~$41B (2024) with strong backlogs supporting space/defense programs that include missile-related systems.

  • MBDA (European JV) — revenue ~€4.5B (2023); reported sharp ramp in missile output (production +33% YoY) as Europe expands missile manufacturing.

  • Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (Israel) — Sales ≈ $4.8B (2024) with a backlog of roughly $17.8B — large share of revenue from missile/defense exports.

  • Kongsberg Gruppen (Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace) — Group revenue NOK 48.9B (~€4.25B) in 2024; defence segment revenue (missiles & air defence activity) showed strong growth driven by order intake.

  • Boeing — Defense, Space & Security (BDS) — BDS contributed ~$23.9B to Boeing’s 2024 revenue (defense & space programs including missile/launch system work).

  • SpaceX (launch vehicles / rockets) — private company; independent estimates put 2024 revenue ≈ $13.1B (launches + Starlink), showing launches remain a large commercial rocket market contributor.

Market-size headline(s)

  • Example market estimates vary by scope (rockets = launch vehicles; missiles = defense munitions & launchers). Representative forecasts: USD ~63.2–72.6 billion (2024) market size today with multi-% CAGRs; forecasts equal ~USD 110–123B by 2034 (5–5.7% CAGR in mainstream reports). Use a multi-scenario band for decks.


Short strategic snapshot (sourced)

Recent developments

  • European rearmament & output ramp: MBDA (and European suppliers) have sharply raised missile output (reported +33% in 2024 and plans to roughly double versus 2023), driven by NATO replenishment and Ukraine-related demand.

  • Record orderbooks/backlogs: Several prime contractors report record backlogs/orders (Rafael, Northrop Grumman, Kongsberg), supporting multi-year production plans.

  • Launch-commercialisation growth: Commercial launch demand and Starlink/communications revenue are materially increasing private rocket-sector revenue (SpaceX estimated ≈ $13.1B in 2024).

Primary drivers

  1. Geopolitical tensions & rearmament (Europe/NATO, Middle East, Indo-Pacific) driving replacement and inventory build-up.

  2. Modernization programs (air/sea/land air-defense, cruise/anti-ship missiles, precision-strike munitions).

  3. Commercial launch growth and space programmes (more launches → larger rocket manufacturing and support ecosystems).

Main restraints

  • Production scaling & supply-chain constraints (propellants, electronics, specialized materials, test ranges).

  • Export controls/regulation & geopolitical supply risk (ITAR, national export controls limit market access & partnerships).

  • Long lead times & capital intensity for new production lines, test facilities and R&D.

Regional segmentation analysis

  • North America (largest share): prime contractors (Lockheed, Raytheon/RTX, Northrop, Boeing) dominate missile systems, and SpaceX/ULA power rockets & launch.

  • Europe: MBDA, MBDA’s production ramp, Kongsberg and other regional primes meet NATO demand;EU funding & IPCEI style programs supporting build-out.

  • Asia-Pacific / Middle East: expanding domestic programs, imports and local industry growth (Israel’s Rafael major exporter; many ME/Asia procurements).

Emerging trends

  • Surge in precision & loitering munitions and counter-UAS systems (smaller, cheaper, high-volume missiles).

  • Move to modular, digitalized production lines and increased automation to reduce unit cost and increase throughput.

  • Integration of rockets & missiles with networked C2, sensors and effects (system-of-systems procurement).

Top use cases

  1. Air & missile defence (Patriot, NASAMS, IRIS-T, SAMP/T, Arrow, etc.).

  2. Anti-ship / coastal strike and cruise missiles.

  3. Precision-strike munitions & loitering munitions for asymmetric/near-peer conflicts.

  4. Launch vehicles for satellite deployments & national space programs.

Major challenges

  • Securing skilled workforce and specialised suppliers as production scales quickly.

  • Managing export control complexity and geopolitical supplier risk that complicates multinational supply chains.

  • Balancing speed-of-delivery with quality & safety in munitions production.

Attractive opportunities

  • High-volume, lower-cost munitions & loitering/loiter-strike markets where demand and repeat purchase are high.

  • Partnerships for localized production (licensing/tech transfer in allied countries) to meet offset/sovereign-supply needs.

  • Dual-use manufacturing & supply (components for rockets and missiles) — economies of scale across civil and defense launches.

Key factors for market expansion

  1. Sustained defense budgets & replenishment programs (multi-year procurement plans).

  2. Faster, cheaper production technologies (automation, digital twins, modular factories).

  3. Clear export/partnership frameworks among allies to allow licensed production and predictable supply chains.
