Summary

The global shoulder-fired weapons market size reached USD 7.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 11.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.87% during 2025-2033. The increasing military spending to enhance defense capabilities is stimulating the market.

Shoulder-fired weapons are self-propelled explosive rocket projectiles that can be operated by a single person. They target anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft, man-portable anti-defense systems, rocket-propelled grenades, and anti-vessel launchers. They are generally guided and unguided to hit targets on the ground or air and have special applications like armor-piercing. They enable armed forces to target objects and escape the area quickly before they can be spotted by the enemy. They are lightweight, easier to transport, and require less maintenance as compared to traditionally used missile systems. They are commonly available in short, medium, and extended ranges variants. Amongst these, the short range shoulder-fired weapons are used in close-counter combat operations and can fire a projectile at a maximum range of 1000 meters. On the other hand, medium range shoulder-fired weapons can be combined with multiple warheads and fire at a maximum of 3000 meters. Moreover, extended range shoulder-fired weapons are the most sophisticated and capable systems and have higher muzzle velocity and greater accuracy due to more advanced guidance systems that can engage targets beyond 3000 meters.

Shoulder-Fired Weapons Market Trends:
The increasing adoption of advanced weapons and significant growth in the military and defense sectors represents one of the major factors driving the demand for shoulder-fired weapons across the globe. The rising instances of armed conflicts, violence, and terrorism are supporting the market growth. Moreover, the growing investments by military and defense organizations in the upgradation of existing infrastructure to enhance national security are favoring the market growth. In addition, there is an increase in the adoption of man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) and man-portable anti-tank systems that provide a massive advantage to armed forces by engaging targets without being concerned about the weight and accuracy of the strike by the weapon. Apart from this, key players are introducing smart shoulder-fired weapons that are embedded in electronic warfare (EW) systems to provide augmented reality (AR) information to operators. They are also integrating satellite guidance systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) that help military personnel deal with combatants on the battlefield and minimize the collateral damage, which, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market.
