Key Drivers :
Rising geopolitical tension is resulting in regional instability which in turn drives the demand for mechanical and electronic fuzes
Geopolitical conflicts refer to disputes and tensions that arise between nations or regions due to competing interests and conflicting goals related to political, economic, social, or strategic interests. Geopolitical conflicts have far-reaching consequences, including political instability, humanitarian crises, and increased military tensions. One of the recently rising conflicts is the Russia- Ukraine war that has encouraged the countries in the European Union to invest more in defense expenditure. For instance, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in January 2022 announced a special defense fund worth USD 112.7 billion in response to Russia's invasion on Ukraine. Further, according to the UK's Ministry of defense, spending on defense for 2021-2022 was 71.4 billion Pounds making the country the fifth-highest spender on defense.
Another major rising conflict is the instability in the South China Sea where countries including China, Vietnam, Philippines, and Malaysia are competing for territorial claims. The rising military spending in the aforementioned countries has resulted in the increased demand for mechanical and electronic fuzes. The military uses fuzes for a wide range of applications including mortars, artillery, mines, tanks and rockets among others. Thus, rising geopolitical tensions are resulting in the increased demand for the mechanical and electronic fuzes
Key Restraints :
Stringent regulatory requirements
The fuzes are critical components of ammunition and explosives that make reliability & safety key requirement. As a result, the regulatory bodies often establish strict guidelines and standards that manufacture of the fuzes has to follow to minimize the risk of accidental detonations. Meeting regulatory requirements often involves additional costs for manufacturers including investment in testing, certification, and documentation processes to demonstrate the compliance. The costs increase the overall production costs of fuzes which in turn impacts the pricing and market competitiveness.
Future Opportunities :
Increased spending on modernization and upgradation of defense equipment
Modernization and upgrading of defense equipment refers to the process of improving and enhancing the capabilities of existing military hardware, software, and other related systems. The upgradation is done to ensure that military forces are equipped with the latest technology and equipment that is safe, reliable, and precise. For instance, according to Government of India, the total defense budget for 2023 is USD 81.4 billion and 23% of the total budget is allocated on upgradation of military equipment. Further, according to Defense Acquisition Council of India on March 2023, the country approved the purchase of military equipment worth 8.5 billion dollars. The purchase includes electronic warfare systems, helicopters, missiles, and artillery guns. Further, according to a report from Reuters in February 2023, U.S. State Department approved sale of rockets, launchers, and long-range missiles worth USD 10 billion to Poland. The mechanical and electronic fuzes are integral parts of the missile & rockets and are used for controlling the detonation of ammunition. Thus, growing investment on upgradation and modernization offers opportunities for the market growth of mechanical and electronic fuzes.
