Smart bullet market refers to technologically advanced bullets that are capable of navigation by following a trajectory path. Smart bullets have very high accuracy as well as self-guided feature to track target by laser designator. The global smart bullet market is expected to rise at a CAGR of about 15.16% during forecast period 2016-2023. The increasing defence budget, technological innovations in smart bullet are some of the major factor contributing to the growth of global smart bullet market during forecast period. In addition to this, rising incidences of terrorist attacks across the globe has increased the demand for military weapons and also strengthen the military and defence sector of regions across the globe.
Frequent terror attacks across the globe is one of the major driving factor which contributes to the growth of global smart bullets market during forecast period. According to the Public Radio International (United States), more than 75% of terrorist attacks were majorly experienced by ten countries which include Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Somalia, the Philippines, Turkey, Yemen, Nigeria, and Syria in 2016.
