Key vendors are introducing multi-featured systems to increase their sales strategically
Technavio, a company that develops over 2000 pieces of research every year and covers more than 500 technologies across 80 countries, has announced the top five leading vendors for the global man-portable rocket launcher market in their latest research report. This report also lists three other prominent vendors who are expected to contribute to this market’s growth between 2017-2021.
Competitive vendor landscape
The competition in the global man-portable rocket launcher market is very intense due to the presence of very few established players. The vendors are offering cost-effective and high-quality man-portable rocket launchers to sustain the competition in the market. The companies are competing on the basis of product quality, reliability, cost, and market share. The manufacturers are also focusing on emerging markets across the globe to tap the unexplored opportunities in these nascent markets. The vendors are also focusing on launching innovative systems to be on par with the ever-changing weapon systems market.
According to Moutushi Saha, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on defense, “The emergence of lightweight and man-portable recoilless rifle is revolutionizing the man-portable rocket launcher market. The tube-like structure of these devices allows the elimination of most of the heavy and bulky recoiling mechanisms in traditional rocket launchers. Some of the launchers in the market have an additional safety feature that enables the launcher to be carried while loaded to reduce reaction time.”
