What Is Driving The Growth Of The Global Smart Weapons Technology Market?

The rising defense budgets are expected to be a major driver for the growth of the smart weapons technology market in the foreseeable future. Defense budgets refer to the number of financial resources a government allocates for maintaining and developing its armed forces and military operations. Rising defense budgets are primarily due to increasing geopolitical tensions, as nations allocate more resources to strengthen military capabilities in response to regional conflicts, strategic rivalries, and threats to national security. Smart weapons technology enhances precision and efficiency in military operations, helping defense budgets by reducing the need for large-scale deployments and minimizing collateral damage-related costs. For instance, in November 2024, according to the Ministry of Defense, a UK-based government department, total defense spending rose by approximately $1.4 billion £1.1 billion compared to 2022-23.
