What Are The Key Driving Factors For The Growth Of The Ground-based Laser Designator Market?
The demand for unmanned aerial vehicles is surging and this is projected to boost the expansion of the ground-based laser designator market. These vehicles, which are essentially aircraft that are either remotely controlled or autonomously flown without a pilot onboard, are becoming increasingly prevalent in surveillance and precise strike missions. This surge in usage arises from the goal of defense forces to reduce human risk during combat. Ground-based laser designators aid these unmanned vehicles by marking targets with precision to guide weaponry or sensors with maximum accuracy. This amplifies the precision of strikes while augmenting reconnaissance and mission coordination in intricate combat situations. As an example, in March 2024, the State Council of the People's Republic of China - a government agency based in China, reported that the number of authorized unmanned aerial vehicles reached 1.27 million in 2023, a jump of 32.2% compared to the previous year. This increased requirement for unmanned aerial vehicles spurs the expansion of the ground-based laser designator market. Skyrocketing geopolitical tensions are also forecast to accelerate the growth of the ground-based laser designator market. These tensions are essentially political and military feuds between nations leading to instability and unpredictability. This issue is exacerbated by nations grappling for finite resources, thus encouraging strategic rivalries and amplifying the possibility of territorial disputes. Ground-based laser designators advance military precision by guiding airstrikes and artillery with utmost accuracy, thus lowering collateral damage and enhancing defense capabilities. They also serve as strategic deterrents in areas grappling with increasing geopolitical discord. For instance, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a research organization based in Sweden, reported in February 2024, the death rates in conflicts surged from 153,100 in 2022 to 170,700 in 2023, underlining the amplified intensity in several international conflict zones. Hence, the escalating geopolitical tensions are propelling the growth of the ground-based laser designator market.
