At 26.8% CAGR, the Asia Pacific Directed Energy Weapons Market is projected to be worth US$ 2,705.66 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights   

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Asia Pacific directed energy weapons market was valued at US$ 330.88 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1,376.26 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 26.8% from 2022 to 2028. Strengthening military research & development programs for directed energy weapons and widening the adoption of DEW as countermeasures.                

Improved system dependability is a key consideration when choosing a directed energy weapon. The use of cutting-edge technology with the integration of hardware components disseminates across a range of military assets, such as combat vehicles, unidentified objects, drones, and UAVs. Modern directed-energy weapons with exceptional precision have made it necessary for nations with border disputes and regional threats to rely on such cutting-edge weapons for their border safety. For instance, Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) directed energy demonstrator development program targets technical risk reduction and maturation for high-powered strategic lasers, beam control, lethality, and associated technologies. In FY2021, the MDA’s directed energy demonstrator development program received US$ 42 million in funding from department of defense. For FY2022, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) proposed US$ 107 million for high-energy laser development. Moreover, China is focused on R&D for directed energy weapons. Future DEW systems are most certainly to be developed more powerful than current systems using realistic klystron amplifier technology, as reported by the Chinese researchers. For instance, in Shanghai, researchers are developing a DEW system to enable a firing range of 100-petawatt laser shots by 2023.
