Producers with qualified surge capacity capture the earliest incremental orders. * NATO defence expenditure reached approximately **USD 1,405 billion (2025 estimate, NATO)**, strengthening demand visibility across the largest addressable procurement bloc. Multi-year frameworks reduce supplier revenue volatility and support capital investment in filling and assembly lines. * European Union equipment procurement reached **EUR 115 billion (2025, EU)**, increasing 26% over 2024. The shift toward equipment raises the probability that budget expansion converts into ammunition, weapon-system and production-capacity orders. ### Inventory Replenishment and Multi-Year Contracting A Spanish framework order covered **104,000 rounds (2024-2025, Spain)**, demonstrating the scale available through consolidated multi-caliber procurement. * The Spanish contract included **60 mm, 81 mm and 120 mm calibers (2024, Spain)**. Portfolio breadth allows manufacturers to spread qualification costs across several products and increase share of wallet with existing military customers. * Germany ordered approximately **100,000 rounds of 120 mm ammunition (2023, Ukraine support)**. Transfer-linked replenishment creates two demand layers, immediate delivery to the recipient and subsequent restocking by the donor government. * NATO's Defence Production Action Plan was updated in **February 2025 (NATO)** to accelerate procurement and industrial output. Aggregated requirements provide stronger justification for supplier capacity expansion and long-lead raw-material commitments. ### Shift Toward Precision and Extended-Range Effects Elbit Systems received an approximately **USD 190 million contract (2024, international)** for Iron Sting guided mortar ammunition. * Iron Sting provides a stated range of up to **10 km (2025 product specification)**, depending on the mortar tube. Extended range increases tactical utility and supports premium pricing for integrated guidance and fuze electronics. * Saab states that its THOR 120 mm design can deliver almost **twice the target-area effect (product specification)** of a conventional round. Higher effectiveness per round supports value-based procurement and reduces logistics requirements. * The United States Army's enhanced 81 mm program targets **120 mm-like range and lethality (2025, United States)** in a more portable cartridge. Successful development would expand the premium 81 mm segment and create replacement demand for legacy rounds. --- ## Market Challenges ### Energetics and Propellant Capacity Constraints The European ammunition program allocated **EUR 500 million (2023-2025, EU)** partly to address powder and explosive bottlenecks. * EU-backed projects target more than **10,000 tons of additional powder capacity (2024, EU)**. Existing scarcity can constrain finished-round output even when assembly capacity is available, weakening delivery reliability and increasing working-capital needs. * Supported projects also target more than **4,300 tons of additional explosives capacity (2024, EU)**. Mortar producers without vertically secured energetics face allocation risk, volatile input pricing and lower negotiating leverage during surge periods. * The EU selected **31 investment projects (2024, EU)** across explosives, powder, shells, missiles and testing. Distributed investment improves resilience but can intensify competition for skilled process engineers and qualified production equipment. ### Qualification, Safety and Regulatory Complexity Mortar products must operate across temperatures as low as **-46 degrees Celsius (product qualification)**, increasing testing, documentation and material-control requirements. * Nammo's 120 mm round lists compatibility with standard smoothbore systems and selected turreted platforms, but qualification remains configuration-specific. Each additional weapon interface can require testing expenditure and extend the time between contract award and full-rate delivery. * Hirtenberger identifies NATO-qualified 81 mm pyrotechnic variants across multiple payloads. Maintaining separate explosive, smoke and illumination processes raises quality-assurance overhead and increases the cost of low-volume product families. * EU production grants may fund only **35% to 40% of eligible project costs (2024, EU)**, depending on the activity. Producers must finance the remaining capital while carrying permitting, qualification and customer-acceptance risk. ### Customer Concentration and Procurement Volatility NATO countries represented approximately **USD 1,405 billion of defence expenditure (2025 estimate)**, concentrating addressable demand within government-controlled budgets. * Government customers can defer quantities, exercise contract options unevenly or change product specifications. Suppliers dependent on one national program face utilization risk because mortar-production assets have limited civilian-market alternatives. * A single contract can cover more than **100,000 rounds (2024, Spain)**, making annual revenue sensitive to tender timing and acceptance milestones. Manufacturers require diversified customer portfolios to stabilize cash conversion. * NATO operates as an alliance of **32 countries (2025, NATO)**, but national procurement rules, local-content expectations and export controls remain fragmented. Market access therefore requires country-specific qualification, partnerships and licensing strategies. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Precision-Guided Mortar Ammunition Guided mortar demand is validated by an approximately **USD 190 million award (2024, international)** for a 120 mm precision product. * **Monetizable angle:** Guided rounds combine the shell, seeker, guidance electronics and programmable fuze, creating a substantially larger revenue pool per round than conventional high-explosive ammunition. * **Who benefits:** Integrated defence-electronics companies, fuze manufacturers and fire-control suppliers benefit because guidance procurement creates recurring software, integration, qualification and lifecycle-support requirements. * **What must change:** Military customers must integrate designation assets and digital fire control. Iron Sting supports **three guidance combinations (product specification)**, enabling adoption across different battlefield sensing architectures. ### Localized Production and Licensed Manufacturing EU ammunition initiatives are expected to leverage approximately **EUR 1.4 billion of total investment (2024, EU)** across 31 projects. * **Monetizable angle:** Producers can earn licensing, engineering, tooling and long-term component revenue by partnering with governments seeking sovereign filling, assembly and testing capability. * **Who benefits:** Regional ammunition manufacturers, state-owned defence groups, energetic-material suppliers and specialized production-equipment providers benefit from localization mandates and industrial participation programs. * **What must change:** Governments must fund qualification infrastructure and aggregate demand. EU initiatives target **2 million rounds of annual shell capacity by end-2025**, illustrating the scale required to justify new production lines. ### Multi-Caliber and Interoperable Product Families Leading suppliers increasingly offer **three principal NATO calibers (60 mm, 81 mm and 120 mm)** within one commercial portfolio. * **Monetizable angle:** Shared suppliers, propellant technology and quality systems reduce incremental development costs while allowing producers to bid for broader government frameworks. * **Who benefits:** Manufacturers with complete high-explosive, smoke, illumination and practice families can capture a larger proportion of customer lifecycle expenditure and improve factory utilization. * **What must change:** Producers must maintain compatibility with legacy and modern systems. Nammo markets mortar rounds from **60 mm through 120 mm (current portfolio)**, demonstrating the portfolio breadth required for international tenders. --- --- ## Competitive Landscape # CHAPTER 8 - Competitive Landscape Overview The market is moderately concentrated among qualified global and state-backed producers.

Growth is expected to be supported by inventory replenishment, higher military equipment expenditure, expanding training requirements and procurement of advanced fuzes and guided rounds. Volume growth is projected to remain below value growth because precision-guided, extended-range and insensitive-munition products carry higher average selling prices. Asia Pacific is expected to record the fastest regional expansion, while Europe benefits from major ammunition capacity and stock-rebuilding programs. **Data used:** 5.20% forecast CAGR; USD 5,992 million projected market value in 2031 **So what:** Capacity additions should be evaluated against secured multi-year contracts and expected guidance-technology mix rather than headline volume growth alone. #### Q: Where will the largest profit-pool shift occur? **A:** The largest profit-pool shift is expected from conventional ballistic ammunition toward proximity-fuzed, extended-range and precision-guided 120 mm rounds. Guided and advanced ammunition is projected to increase from 9.6% of market value in 2025 to 14.8% by 2031. These products capture more value through seekers, programmable fuzes, navigation electronics, guidance software and system integration. Conventional high-explosive rounds remain essential for scale and factory utilization, but integrated technology suppliers can generate higher revenue per round and stronger switching barriers through qualification with specific weapon and fire-control systems. **Data used:** Guided and advanced mix of 9.6% in 2025; projected mix of 14.8% in 2031 **So what:** Producers should pair high-throughput conventional lines with proprietary guidance, fuze or extended-range technologies to improve portfolio margins. #### Q: What is the most important constraint on market growth? **A:** The most important constraint is the availability of qualified energetic materials, including propellants, explosives and pyrotechnic compounds. Finished-round assembly capacity cannot operate at planned utilization without secure upstream supply, while hazardous-material permitting and military qualification lengthen capacity-expansion timelines. European initiatives have allocated EUR 500 million to address ammunition-production bottlenecks and target substantial additions to powder and explosive capacity. Producers also face skilled-labor shortages, specialized-equipment lead times and the need to maintain separate processes for high-explosive, smoke, illumination and insensitive-munition variants. **Data used:** EUR 500 million EU ammunition-production program; more than 10,000 tons of targeted additional powder capacity **So what:** Buyers and investors should test upstream energetics security before relying on announced finished-ammunition capacity. #### Q: Which regions offer the strongest market positions and growth prospects? **A:** North America held the strongest market position in 2025 with an estimated USD 1,600 million market and a 36.2% global share. Asia Pacific offers the fastest forecast expansion at 6.6%, reflecting force modernization, indigenous manufacturing and broad requirements across infantry and mechanized formations. Europe combines the second-largest market with a 5.8% forecast CAGR and the deepest mapped producer base. The Middle East and Africa provide selective opportunities through localization and government-to-government procurement, while Latin America remains smaller and more dependent on budget timing and imported ammunition. **Data used:** North America market value of USD 1,600 million in 2025; Asia Pacific CAGR of 6.6% through 2031 **So what:** Market-entry strategies should differentiate between North American scale, European capacity investment and Asia Pacific growth-led localization. #### Q: What demand factor will have the greatest influence on mortar ammunition procurement? **A:** The most influential demand factor will be the conversion of higher defence budgets into multi-year ammunition replenishment programs. Military expenditure alone does not guarantee mortar demand, but equipment-allocation commitments, training consumption, transfers to allied forces and stockpile-readiness targets directly affect procurement quantities. Large contracts increasingly combine multiple calibers and ammunition effects, giving advantage to manufacturers that can supply complete 60 mm, 81 mm and 120 mm families. Customers are also prioritizing interoperability, storage life and compatibility with digital fire-control and vehicle-mounted mortar systems. **Data used:** USD 2.718 trillion global military expenditure in 2024; EUR 115 billion EU equipment procurement in 2025 **So what:** Suppliers should align business-development resources with funded replenishment lines and framework-contract calendars rather than broad defence-budget announcements. --- ## Table of Contents # CHAPTER 14 - Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases, Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy and Survey, delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
