Growing global military expenditure is another important factor. Increasing defense budgets enable governments to allocate more resources toward advanced warfare technologies, military vehicle upgrades, artillery systems, communication equipment, surveillance systems, and other defense technologies. This trend is creating sustained demand for modern mortar systems across various regions.
Advancements in Self-Propelled Systems
The increasing adoption of self-propelled mortar systems is an important trend influencing the market. Self-propelled systems can reduce logistics and transportation challenges associated with moving artillery equipment while also lowering the operational manpower required for deployment. Several European countries have used self-propelled mortar systems for years, while manufacturers continue developing advanced solutions to meet evolving military requirements.
The integration of unmanned systems for weapon delivery, surveillance, and detection is also supporting demand for self-propelled mortar systems. Military modernization programs are encouraging the development of solutions that offer greater mobility and operational flexibility.
Segmentation and Regional Landscape
The market is segmented by calibre into small calibre, medium calibre, and large calibre. By type, the market includes towed/hand-held and self-propelled systems. The medium calibre segment accounted for the largest market share, while the self-propelled segment is anticipated to register the fastest growth during the forecast period.
North America dominated the market, accounting for 32.9% of the market share in 2023. The region benefits from the presence of major defense manufacturers and continued procurement of advanced military systems. Asia Pacific is expected to record strong growth, with the region projected to register a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period. Increasing defense investments and efforts to strengthen indigenous defense capabilities are supporting demand across emerging markets.
