Analysis 2 The Market for Surface-to-Air Missiles 2011 -2020

摘要

The market for surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems is worth $34.6 billion over the next 10 years. An effective air defense system remains of vital importance, despite a lack of media-grabbing headlines in the Afghan and Iraqi fighting. Not since Operation Desert Storm have air defense missiles captured the attention of the media. The total number of surface-to-air missiles manufactured through 2020 will exceed 80,000. U.S. and European countries will hold the greatest shares of this market, with the U.S. in the lead. • Raytheon is on top of this market. Sales of surface-to-air missiles will generate more than $11 billion in revenues for the company. Its market value share is more than double that of its nearest competitor. Raytheon is by far the dominant supplier of naval SAMs. The RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) will provide $1.2 billion in earnings, with the Extended Range Active Missile (ERAM) adding another $1.5 billion. The ERAM is the newest member of the Standard Missile family. The RIM-161 Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) program adds $7.3 billion to the total.
