The market for surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems will be worth $45.6 billion over the next 10 years. An effective air defense system remains of vital importance, despite a lack of media-grabbing headlines in the Afghan and Iraqi fighting. Not since Operation Desert Storm have air defense missiles captured the attention of the media. The total number of surface-to-air missiles manufactured through 2028 will exceed 98,000. U.S. and European countries will hold the greatest shares of this market, with the U.S. in the lead.
