Electronic Warfare Market Is Set To Rise At A CAGR Of 5.20% From 2024 To 2032

13-Mar-2025 | Zion Market Research

The global electronic warfare market size was worth around USD 19.23 billion in 2023 and is predicted to grow to around USD 30.03 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 5.20% between 2024 and 2032.

Global Electronic Warfare Market Size

Electronic warfare refers to military action involving using electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy's electronic systems, capabilities, and communications. These systems enable armed forces to detect, disrupt, deny, deceive, and protect against enemy electronic actions while ensuring friendly forces maintain access to the electromagnetic spectrum. Advanced systems now incorporate cognitive technologies, artificial intelligence, and broadband capabilities to handle increasingly complex electromagnetic environments.

Market Segmentation

The electronic warfare market can be segmented based on capability, platform, product type, and region.

Based on capability, the electronic warfare market is segregated into electronic attack (active and passive), electronic protection (anti-active and anti-passive), and electronic support (signal intelligence and others). Electronic support systems dominate the market due to their critical role in providing battlefield intelligence and situational awareness.

Based on platform, the electronic warfare industry is segmented into airborne, naval, ground, and space-based systems. Airborne platforms lead the market due to their extended range of operation and effectiveness in delivering both offensive and defensive electronic warfare capabilities.

On the basis of product type, the electronic warfare market is classified mainly into jammers, self-protection systems, direction finders, countermeasure systems, signals intelligence systems, and others. Jammers and self-protection systems dominate the market as these technologies provide immediate tactical advantages and enhanced survivability for military platforms operating in combat environments.

North America leads the electronic warfare market, driven by substantial defense spending and technological superiority from the United States. The region's dominance stems from major research programs by the Department of Defense and the presence of leading defense electronics manufacturers. The robust industrial base and specialized research institutions strengthen North America's position in electronic warfare innovation. Ongoing initiatives like the U.S. Army's Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) and the Navy's Next Generation Jammer program continue to drive market expansion in the region. Increased focus on joint electromagnetic spectrum operations and counter-unmanned aerial system capabilities is accelerating the development of integrated electronic warfare solutions throughout North America.
