Press Releases

Global Decoy Flares Market is anticipated to grow from USD 1.5 billion in 2023 to USD 3.4 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030.

Procurements of air defense systems is day by day increasing along with increasing incidences of asymmetric warfare and terrorism across the globe and the growing development of missile jamming decoys. Missile jamming decoys are becoming more advanced and asymmetric warfare and terrorism are becoming more commonplace as, air defense system purchases are rising, all over the world. These play as the key market drivers enhancing the market growth. Decoy flares are the pyrotechnic devices that generate intense heat upon ignition and are made from a composition of magnesium-based material and a combustion accelerator. The flare's heat signature is significantly higher than that of the aircraft's engines, effectively distracting heat-seeking projectiles. The market is further influenced by the increasing global military expenditure which is driven by territorial disputes and geopolitical tensions and the necessity of maintaining national security. Also, rapid technological advancements, have enhanced the effectiveness of decoy flares, thus promoting their demand in the market. The rising product employment in the military and defense sector and the widespread use of heat-seeking weapons in modern warfare have  been generating the market for decoy flares. Decoy Flares Market is segmented on the basis of its type and appllication. High cost required to manufacture, design and upkeep of decoy flare systems for the countries with limited financial resources is the major contraint of the decoy flares market.
