Global Torpedo Market, is projected to witness a CAGR of 3.4% from 2018 to 2026. Torpedo is a cigar-shaped self-propelled underwater missile, launched from a submarine or airplane and designed for exploding on contact with the hulls of submarines and surface vessels. Torpedoes are an important weapon in antisubmarine warfare; designed to hunt missile submarines, attack submarines which are armed with torpedoes including combination missile-torpedo weapons.
An upsurge in the production of lightweight torpedoes which can be carried over an aircraft or on a warship in huge numbers in government and defense and rising demand for improved surveillance and monitoring at public places are the major factors supplementing the market growth. However, the high implementation cost of this technology and lack of accuracy are the major hindrances for the growth of the market. Rising demand in the defense sector and expansion in underwater warfare technology would generate new opportunities for the market in the future years.
