North America Laser Weapon Systems Market

Market Introduction

North America is a technologically advanced region comprising major economies such as the US, Canada, and Mexico. The region heavily invests in the military and defense sector to address the increasing terrorism activities and strengthen the armories of the nations. Additionally, as North America attracts numerous technological developments, the adoption of laser weapon systems is increasing in the region. Moreover, with the increasing investments in the development of laser weapon systems for fighter aircraft, the market is experiencing significant growth in the new offering. Most of the countries in the region are already deploying this advanced weapon technology by replacing existing traditional systems for improved accuracy and strength. North America has a maximum number of laser weapon manufacturing companies, which leads to an intense competition in the laser weapon systems market. Rising competition in the region encourages these companies to provide enhanced designs, power, and strength for defense weapons, through continuous development, at a lower cost than their counterparts in the market. Companies are developing new laser weapon systems with enhanced range, power, and energy consumption. For instance, the U.S. Navy is deploying laser weapon systems on its nine destroyers as an evolution part of the weapon systems. The nine destroyers are being nonlethal Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN) system to protect ships and defense bases from aerial attack. Also, the U.S. Air Force awarded a contract of US$ 15.5 million to Raytheon Technologies to upgrade its ground-vehicle laser weapon systems. Growing investment in weapon systems and technological advancement in laser weapon system are the major factor driving the growth of the North America laser weapon systems market.

In case of COVID-19, North America is highly affected specially the US. The emergence of COVID-19 virus across the North America led to lockdown scenarios has pushed led the industry experts to analyze that the defense equipment manufacturing industry would face 4 weeks to 12 weeks of lag in military electronic part supply chain. This disruption in supply chain has damaged the defense equipment manufacturing in 2020 across North America region. The recovery period of impact of COVID-19 in defense industry is foreseen to be quicker as compared to various other industries. The economic growth has lowered, which delayed the ongoing projects of military and defense up-gradation. The US is one of the major exporters of arms products, but due to the disrupted supply chain and lower economic conditions of importing countries, export revenue is reduced. Enhancing trade relations to support international supply post lockdown helped the market to regain its position. The limiting strength of the workforce due to the physical distancing model hampered the production activities in-country. Also, the disruption in defense electronics supply chain caused damage to the US laser weapon systems market.
