The ground-based laser designator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.13 billion in 2024 to $1.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The increase during the historic period is due to more extensive use in military reconnaissance, higher demand for precision targeting systems, expanded application in counter-insurgency efforts, ongoing defense modernization projects, and greater military expenditures by developing countries.

The ground-based laser designator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by the increasing integration with unmanned ground vehicles, heightened demand for long-range targeting capabilities, expanding use in special operations missions, a rising preference for portable and lightweight devices, and a growing emphasis on interoperability within defense systems. Key trends expected throughout the forecast period include improvements in target acquisition accuracy, innovations in compact and ruggedized designs, investments in next-generation laser optics, advancements in low-power consumption technologies, and developments in real-time data transmission.

The increasing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is expected to boost the growth of the ground-based laser designator market. UAVs are aircraft that operate without a human pilot onboard, either remotely controlled or flying autonomously. Their rising popularity stems from expanded use in surveillance and precision strike operations, as defense forces aim to reduce risks to personnel during combat. Ground-based laser designators enhance UAV capabilities by accurately marking targets, enabling precise weapon guidance and sensor operation, which improves strike accuracy and supports reconnaissance and mission coordination in challenging combat scenarios. For example, in March 2024, the State Council of the People’s Republic of China reported that the number of licensed UAVs reached 1.27 million in 2023, marking a 32.2% increase from 2022. Thus, the growing demand for UAVs is driving the expansion of the ground-based laser designator market.

Increasing geopolitical tensions are expected to drive the growth of the ground-based laser designator market. These tensions involve political and military disputes between countries that create instability and uncertainty. As nations compete for scarce natural resources, strategic rivalries intensify, raising the possibility of territorial conflicts. Ground-based laser designators enhance military precision by accurately guiding airstrikes and artillery, reducing collateral damage while boosting defense effectiveness and acting as a strategic deterrent in areas with escalating geopolitical friction. For example, in February 2024, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that conflict-related deaths rose from 153,100 in 2022 to 170,700 in 2023, indicating increased conflict severity in several regions worldwide. Consequently, the growth of the ground-based laser designator market is being driven by rising geopolitical tensions.

In November 2022, Safran Electronics & Defense, a French avionics firm, and MBDA France, a French missile and defense systems manufacturer, jointly acquired a 63% majority stake in CILAS for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to support CILAS’s expansion and advance laser technology development, reinforcing France’s sovereignty and strategic independence. Additionally, it aims to strengthen CILAS’s presence in the European market and boost its export opportunities. CILAS is a France-based company specializing in ground-based laser designators.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

A ground-based laser designator is a device that projects a concentrated laser beam to accurately identify a target, allowing guided weapons, missiles, or aircraft to strike precisely. It supports military missions by enhancing accuracy, reducing collateral damage, and increasing operational effectiveness. These systems are extensively employed by armed forces for battlefield observation, target detection, and smooth coordination among units.

The primary categories of ground-based laser designators include portable units, vehicle-mounted units, and fixed installations. Portable laser designators are compact, handheld tools that offer frontline personnel quick, adaptable, and mobile target-marking capabilities for directing precision attacks. They employ various technologies, such as infrared lasers, visible light lasers, and multi-spectral lasers, with range options spanning short, medium, and long distances. These designators are useful in several contexts, including ground troops and air support, and are utilized by a variety of users across the defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors.
