The North America military optronics surveillance & sighting systems market is set to record a CAGR of 5.18% during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The rising military expenditure is among the major growth drivers of the North American market. For instance, the Canadian government has pledged to raise military spending amid rising global political unrest. However, the North America market growth is hindered by factors like the decreased weapon exports by 21% in 2021 as part of minimizing offensive weapon exports, given the emphasis on human rights.
Canada and the United States are analyzed for the North America military optronics surveillance & sighting systems market growth evaluation. In Canada, the government is set to increase its defense expenditure, inching closer toward the NATO target that encompasses members spending at least 2% of their GDP on defense.
