Competitive vendor landscape

According to the report, the global ICBM market is highly competitive with vendors competing on basis of cost, product quality, reliability, and aftermarket service.

General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin are the two leading vendors in the market. Their focus is primarily on the implementation of lightweight materials, more of electric technologies, and robust systems.

Mergers and acquisitions, along with increased collaboration with alliance partners around the world would drive the global ICBM market during the forecast period. In 2015, Orbital Sciences merged their operations with ATK Alliant Techsystems at USD 5 billion to provide support to the military assets globally. Such acquisitions and mergers would strengthen the position of the companies in the market and enable direct access to the local customers.

“Government organizations such as the DOD and MOD certify the ICBMs of every vendor. They encourage the development of such missile systems as they add a caliber to the ongoing military operations. As a result, the vendors invest in creating new, cost-efficient, and effective ICBMs for use by the armed forces, globally,” says Abhay Singh, a lead analyst at Technavio for defense sector.
