Dateline: ROCKVILLE, MD — July 30, 2026:The global electronic warfare market was valued at USD 21.0 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 37.7 billion by 2036, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2026 to 2036, according to Fact.MR analysis. The market is estimated to reach USD 22.1 billion in 2026 as defence organizations increase investments in spectrum dominance, electronic protection, and advanced warfare capabilities.
Demand for electronic warfare systems is rising because modern military operations depend more on control of the electromagnetic spectrum. Countries are upgrading defence capabilities to improve electronic attack, protection, and intelligence functions. Fact.MR highlights that legacy jamming and radar warning systems are shifting toward software-defined, multi-domain electronic warfare platforms. Defence contractors are moving from traditional hardware replacement cycles toward continuous software upgrade models.
Geopolitical tensions, military modernization programs, and lessons from active conflict zones are changing procurement priorities. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has shown the operational importance of electronic warfare in battlefield outcomes. Military forces across NATO members, Indo-Pacific countries, and emerging defence markets are increasing focus on spectrum denial, electronic protection, and signals intelligence capabilities.
