The Business Research Company's Defense Global Market Report 2025 – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2025-2034

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What Is The Expected Cagr For The Composites In The Defense Market Through 2025?
The defense market for composites has shown substantial growth over the recent years. It is projected to increase from $13.93 billion in 2024 to $14.87 billion in 2025, with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The robust growth seen in the past can be credited to the escalating demand for lightweight materials, the surge in military modernization initiatives, the intensified focus on survivability and armor protection, the growing employment of composites in aerospace defense, and the widening requirement for fuel efficiency in defense systems.

The composites for the defense market are projected to experience significant growth in the coming years, reaching a market size of $19.08 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. Factors contributing to the projected growth over the forecast period include an increased demand for unmanned defense systems, more investment in modern military vehicles, a shift towards recyclable and sustainable defense materials, increased defense budgets in developing economies, and a growing preference for multi-use composite structures. The period is also expected to witness trending advances in hybrid composites technology, continuous improvements in fiber-reinforced plastics, increased investment in defense research and development, the advent of 3D printing techniques for composites, and the rise of automation in composite manufacturing technology.

What Are The Key Factors Driving Growth In The Composites In The Defense Market?
The growth of composites in the defense market is set to be driven by the escalating demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs, which are aircrafts operated remotely or autonomously without a pilot on board, are used extensively for a variety of military, commercial, and leisure activities ranging from surveillance to delivery and aerial photography. UAVs have been leading in popularity due to their efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in performing a multitude of tasks compared to conventional methods. The defense industry's increasing reliance on UAVs has necessitated the adoption of advanced composites to ensure lightweight but durable structures. For example, as per a report released by the UK-based Ministry of Defense in June 2025, the UK plans to supply Ukraine with 100,000 drones, a significant rise from the 10,000 drones supplied in 2024. Therefore, the growth trends in the demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are indicating a positive impact on the composites in the defense market.
