The evolving modern warfare scenario has compelled governments of various countries across the globe to assign significant funds and financial aid toward respective defense and military forces. The defense budget allocation supports army and military forces to obtain enhanced technologies and equipment from domestic or international developers. On the other hand, military and army vehicle upgrades are on the rise owing to growing defense budget allocation. Furthermore, the increasing governmental expenditure showcases governments' focus on strengthening national security forces. There is an increased need to reinforce military and border security forces with advanced surveillance, communication, navigation equipment, artilleries, armaments, and vehicles, among others; hence, military forces worldwide are focusing on investing significant amounts in procuring mortar systems and other advanced technologies. Defense forces' constant inclination to acquire new technologies for noncombat and combat operations further boosts military expenditure worldwide.
As per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global military expenditure increased to US$ 2,148 billion in 2022, representing a 3.5% increase from 2021. The US, China, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia were the top five spenders in 2022, accounting for 63% of global expenditures. The figure given below depicts the yearly spending of these countries.
Military Expenditure of Top Five Countries (2020–2022)
Country | 2020 (US$ Million) | 2021 (US$ Million) | 2022 (US$ Million) |
US | 778,397.2 | 800,672.2 | 876,943.2 |
China | 257,973.4 | 293,351.9 | 291,958.4 |
Russia | 61,712.5 | 65,907.7 | 86,373.1 |
India | 72,937.1 | 76,598.0 | 81,363.2 |
Saudi Arabia | 64,558.4 | 55,564.3 | 75,013.3 |

The increasing military expenditure encourages incorporating advanced warfare technologies such as high-range antennas, self-propelled artillery including howitzers/mortar systems, advanced communication devices, unmanned vehicles, radars, missile detection systems, surveillance and navigation systems, and modern warfare technologies. In addition, a high military budget supports the countries in assigning resources for advancing and upgrading their existing air, ground-based, and naval defense systems. All these factors are boosting the mortar systems market growth across different regions.
The mortar systems market analysis is carried out by identifying and evaluating key players in the market across different regions. Hirtenberger Defence Systems, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Thales, Elbit Systems Ltd, Rheinmetall AG, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, RUAG Group, Northrop Grumman Corporation, ST Engineering, and Arquus are among the major players profiled in the mortar systems market report. These companies provide customers with reliable solutions to cater to the growing market demand and remain competitive.
The global mortar systems market report emphasizes the geopolitical dynamics of nations and their defense capabilities. With a multifaceted landscape influenced by technological advancements, security threats, and international collaborations, the mortar systems market is characterized by ongoing modernization efforts, diversification of capabilities, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies. The demand for diversified artillery capabilities is a key factor shaping the global mortar systems market in the whole artillery systems industry. Nations seek artillery systems that can address a spectrum of operational scenarios, from conventional warfare to counterinsurgency operations. This diversification includes developing and acquiring various artillery types, such as handheld mortars, self-propelled mortars, rocket launchers, and howitzers. The goal is to possess a versatile artillery portfolio that can respond effectively to different threats and terrains. In 2022, North America accounted for the largest mortar systems market share and is expected to retain its dominance in the coming years as well. This is mainly due to the presence of vendors such as General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and Raytheon Technologies in North America.
Emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, are other key contributors to the global mortar systems market. Increased defense budgets, territorial tensions, and emphasis on indigenous defense capabilities characterize these regions. Governments in emerging markets are actively procuring artillery systems to build robust defense postures and reduce dependency on foreign suppliers. The procurement trends in these regions include a mix of imported systems and indigenous development initiatives.
Geopolitical considerations significantly influence the growth of the global mortar systems market. Strategic rivalries, territorial disputes, and regional conflicts drive the demand for artillery capabilities. Nations often align their procurement strategies with perceived threats and geopolitical realities. The arms race and military build-up in certain regions contribute to the market growth as countries strive to maintain strategic parity or superiority.
The growing adoption of self-propelled mortars across different countries is one of the major mortar systems market trends. Many European countries, such as Russia, the UK, and Germany, have been using self-propelled mortar systems for the past two decades and have been the leaders in the adoption of these systems. Many companies have already developed self-propelled artillery systems to provide their customers with reliable and desired mission solutions to remain competitive in the highly competitive marketplace. Similarly, many other companies have been collaboratively working for the development and advancements in self-propelled artillery systems, which is expected to cater to the emerging needs of the customers in the coming years as well.
