Electronic Warfare (EW) Market Report 2025-2035

The Electronic Warfare (EW) Market Report 2025-2035 (Including Impact of U.S. Trade Tariffs): This report will prove invaluable to leading firms striving for new revenue pockets if they wish to better understand the industry and its underlying dynamics. It will be useful for companies that would like to expand into different industries or to expand their existing operations in a new region.

Rising Frequency and Sophistication of Asymmetric Threats

One of the primary drivers of the global electronic warfare market is the increasing prevalence and complexity of asymmetric warfare. Unlike conventional conflicts, asymmetric threats often involve irregular tactics and unconventional tools, including cyber-electronic attacks, improvised explosive devices triggered via radio signals, and drone-based surveillance or strikes. These emerging battlefield dynamics necessitate advanced EW systems capable of detecting, disrupting, and neutralising hostile electronic signals across a broad spectrum.

For example, in response to growing insurgent activity and electronic-triggered IEDs in the Middle East, countries like the United States and Israel have invested heavily in counter-IED EW systems. Companies such as L3Harris Technologies and Northrop Grumman have developed portable and vehicular jamming systems specifically designed to protect convoys and personnel from such threats. These solutions are not only increasingly vital for tactical missions but are also being retrofitted onto existing platforms to address emerging non-traditional warfare paradigms.

High Complexity and Cost of Integration

One of the most significant challenges in the global electronic warfare market lies in the technical complexity and high costs associated with integrating EW systems into modern and legacy defence platforms. Electronic warfare solutions often require seamless interoperability with radar systems, communication networks, and onboard sensors, all while maintaining minimal size, weight, and power (SWaP) footprints. Achieving this level of system harmony can be technologically demanding and financially intensive.

For example, integrating digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) jammers or advanced radar warning receivers into fourth-generation fighter aircraft or naval destroyers often requires substantial modifications to onboard electronics, cabling, and software architectures. This complexity slows procurement timelines and increases program costs. Lockheed Martin, despite its leadership in EW, has faced integration hurdles while upgrading F-35 variants with enhanced spectrum warfare tools, leading to schedule delays and budget adjustments. For smaller nations or budget-constrained militaries, the capital required for such modernisation acts as a major barrier, limiting the global addressable market.

What would be the Impact of US Trade Tariffs on the Global Electronic Warfare (EW) Market?

The imposition of U.S. tariffs under the Trump administration has significantly impacted the global Electronic Warfare (EW) market, particularly affecting defence electronics and supply chains. In early 2025, tariffs on Chinese imports were raised to as high as 145%, prompting retaliatory measures from China, including tariffs up to 125% on U.S. goods and restrictions on rare earth element exports. These actions disrupted the availability of critical components essential for electronic warfare systems, such as semiconductors and rare earth materials, leading to increased costs and supply chain uncertainties. The heightened tariffs led to a 5–15% increase in procurement costs for U.S. defence contractors, particularly affecting smaller suppliers who struggled to absorb the added expenses. This financial strain resulted in program delays and necessitated system redesigns to replace imported parts with domestic alternatives. In response, the U.S. government emphasised reshoring manufacturing capabilities, investing in domestic semiconductor production and rare earth processing to reduce reliance on foreign sources.
