Market Overview:
Close-in weapon systems (CIWS) are defensive weapons used to protect ships, ground vehicles and aircraft from attacking missiles and other projectiles. There are two main types of CIWS: gun-based systems and missile-based systems. Gun-based CIWS use a high-velocity cannon to shoot down incoming threats, while missile-based CIWS use guided missiles to destroy targets. The global close in weapon system market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for close in weapon system solutions for air, ground and naval applications worldwide. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for defense products in countries such as China, India and Japan.

Product Definition:
Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS) are a type of shipboard armament that is designed to protect vessels from attack by anti-ship missiles. CIWS typically consists of a number of rapid-fire guns or missile launchers that are mounted on the vessel's deck. The purpose of CIWS is to destroy incoming missiles before they can strike the ship, thus preventing damage and protecting the crew and passengers.
Gun-based Close-In Weapon Systems:
The global gun-based close-in weapon systems (CIWS) market size was valued at USD 1.91 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The increasing need for anti-aircraft warfare vessels around the globe is one of the major factors driving growth in this sector.
Missile-based Close-In Weapon Systems:
The global missile-based close-in weapon systems and it’s usage in CIWS market size was valued at USD 3.96 billion in 2016. The increasing need for upgraded naval vessels, coupled with the growing regional tension, is expected to drive the demand for missile-based (missile can) CIWS over the forecast period.
North America dominated the global market owing to high defense spending by U.S.
Application Insights:
The ground application segment dominated the global close-in weapon systems (CIWS) market, accounting for over 60% share of the overall revenue in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing military activities by countries like China and Russia. These nations are focusing on developing their CIWS capabilities as a part of comprehensive defense strategies against ballistic missiles, aircraft and ships launched attacks.
The air application segment accounted for a considerable share in 2017 due to extensive usage of air-based CIWS systems by developed nations such as North America and Europe. However, rising threats from non-state actors coupled with limited adoption of these systems among some emerging markets is expected to restrain its demand from 2018 to 2030.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2016 at around 38.0%. This is attributed to growing tensions between China and India, which are both nuclear powers. The increasing military spending by China and India has resulted in the growth of this regional market. Furthermore, countries such as South Korea have also started investing more money on CIWS systems owing to North Korea’s continuous provocations.
North America region is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period owing to an increase in border disputes between Canada and U.S., along with other countries such as Mexico, resulting into a rise in military spending by all these nations including the U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for maritime security: The increasing instances of piracy and terrorism have led to the rising demand for maritime security systems, including close-in weapon systems.
- Proliferation of advanced naval vessels: Close-in weapon systems are being increasingly installed on advanced naval vessels, in order to provide enhanced protection against anti-ship missiles and other threats.
- Growing investments in defense sector: Governments across the world are investing heavily in their defense sectors, which is expected to drive the growth of the close-in weapon systems market over the next few years.
- Rising need for situational awareness: Close-in weapon systems offer improved situational awareness to warships and help them detect and track targets more effectively. This is resulting in an increase in demand for these weapons from navies worldwide.
