Market Drivers:
Army incorporates lessons from Russia-Ukraine war in its artillery doctrines, procurement plans. A judicious mix of rockets and guns in the Army’s artillery inventory, to acquire more precision targeting weapon systems and niche technologies and the criticality of a robust battlefield transparency are among lessons from the war.
Heightened geopolitical tensions and military conflicts such as Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Palestinian-Israeli conflict around the world drive demand for military propellants and explosives. Countries increase their defense spending and procure advanced munitions to strengthen their national security and deter potential adversaries.
Military forces are investing in long-range artillery systems capable of striking targets at extended distances. This trend reflects the emphasis on expeditionary warfare and the need to engage adversaries across vast operational theaters.
Restraint:
The global supply chain for Artillery Shells is susceptible to disruptions, including geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, natural disasters, and cybersecurity threats. Ensuring supply chain resilience and continuity of operations is crucial for meeting defense requirements and maintaining national security.
Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, artillery consumption has increased rapidly. The cost of raw materials used in propellants and explosives, such as Nitrocellulose, has been increasing since Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Price volatility in raw materials can lead to cost increases for artillery manufacturers and buyers.
Political tensions, conflicts, and territorial disputes in various regions can disrupt supply chains, impede market access, and create uncertainty for defense industry stakeholders. Geopolitical instability also influences defense procurement decisions and strategic partnerships.
Opportunity:
The drive for increased sovereign ammunition manufacturing requirements can be attributed to the demand for artillery platforms, driven in part by the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war where the use of the capability has had a defining impact on the battlefield. More so than any other munition or weapon system, the provision of artillery ammunition and platforms is seen as a key capability.
There's a growing emphasis on developing and deploying artillery shells equipped with precision guidance systems. This trend aims to improve accuracy, reduce collateral damage, and enhance the effectiveness of artillery strikes.
With the proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), there's a growing demand for artillery shells equipped with non-lethal and counter-UAS capabilities. These munitions can disrupt or neutralize hostile drones while minimizing the risk of collateral damage.
