South America Military Optronics Surveillance and Sighting Systems Market

Market Introduction

SAM region majorly consist of countries, such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile and others. Majority of the countries in this region are still in the developing stage and their inclination towards advanced defence systems is increasing considerably. Colombia’s military expenditure in 2019 was US$ 10.16 billion which was reduced to US$ 9.21 billion in 2020. Peru’s military expenditure in 2019 was US$ 2.76 billion which decreased to US$ 2.63 billion in 2020. In 2018, Partner nation service members took part in a Subject Matter Expert Exchange where El Salvadoran Air Force aircraft personnel and U.S. Air Force aircrew flight equipment craftsmen shared knowledge regarding calibration of night vision goggles, its preventative maintenance and storage. The region can have more strategic alliances with other countries to enhance the existing defense capabilities. Also, to deal with the rising threat of terror attacks, countries in this region need to increase their military expenditure substantially.  

The COVID-19 pandemic had witnessed a negative impact on the entire SAM military technology industry. The countries in the region-imposed lockdowns in early 2020 to curb the spread of the virus, which impaired the entire aviation industry ecosystem. The region has a very limited number of military optronics, surveillance, and sighting system suppliers for the military forces in the region rely heavily on international suppliers. This is one of the key factors for the decline in revenues caused by the emergence of COVID-19.                       

Market Overview and Dynamics

The military optronics surveillance and sighting systems market in SAM is expected to grow from US$ 386.00 million in 2021 to US$ 485.74 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2021 to 2028. Military optronics, surveillance, and sighting systems equip personnel with sufficient tools to identify, track, monitor, and engage threats in airborne, land, and naval warfare environment. These systems provide the armed force with precision detection, recognition, and identification of targets and situational awareness using an integration of high-performance optical components and advanced sensors. Additionally, the optronics, surveillance, and sighting systems find application in meeting the border control, base protection, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering mission requirements. The technological advancements in optronics and surveillance systems, coupled with the ongoing demand of defense forces to upgrade their existing equipment and systems, are driving the SAM military optronics, surveillance, and sighting systems market.
