Ground-Based Air Defense Systems Market Size, Share, Trends, & Industry Analysis Report By Type, By Platform, By Component, By Range, By End User, and By Region – Market Forecast, 2025–2034

The ground-based air defense systems market size is expected to reach USD 41.20 Billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Ground-Based Air Defense Systems Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Type, By Platform, By Component, By Range, By End User, and By Region; Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Ground-based air defense systems (GBADS) are deployed to counter evolving threats from drones, aircraft, and missiles. They offer multi-range interception across fixed, mobile, and vehicle-mounted platforms. Integration of AI-enabled radar and advanced command systems is enhancing real-time threat response and coordination.

The market is expanding due to increasing defense expenditure, rising frequency of low-altitude threats and growing demand for mobile, short-range air defense platforms. Defense OEMs are intensifying investments in modular launcher systems, next-generation radar technologies, and directed-energy weapons to address complex threat environments and support national security priorities.

Ground-Based Air Defense Systems Market Report Highlights

Based on type, the missile defense systems segment accounted for largest revenue share in 2024, due to its extensive deployment across national defense systems and its capability to intercept high-speed aerial threats including ballistic missiles.

In terms of platform, the fixed ground-based platforms segment dominated the market in 2024. This is owing to its strategic deployment along borders and military installations offering extended coverage and operational resilience.

Based on component, the radar systems segment dominated the market in 2024. This is driven by rising demand for advanced detection and tracking in both fixed and mobile GBADS deployments.

In terms of range, the medium range (10–100 km) segment dominated the market in 2024. This is fueled by growing demand for flexible interception capability against aircraft, cruise missiles, and UAVs in regional security zones.

Based on end user, the military segment dominated the market in 2024. This is fueled by extensive GBADS deployment, rising defense modernization and increasing cross-border procurement for integrated threat response.

North America accounted for the majority share in the global ground-based air defense systems market in 2024, fueled by ongoing modernization of layered missile defense architecture, deployment of short-range mobile systems and rising investment in AI-integrated radar and sensor technologies.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, driven by ongoing modernization of layered missile defense architecture, deployment of short-range mobile systems and rising investment in AI-integrated radar and sensor technologies.

A few global key market players include Almaz-Antey Corporation, ASELSAN A.Ş., BAE Systems plc, Hanwha Aerospace, Hensoldt AG, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Lockheed Martin Corporation, MBDA, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Rheinmetall AG, Saab AB, and Thales Group.
