According to UnivDatos analysis, the growth in defense budgets, modernization, and threats of low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the major factors driving the growth of the Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) market. As per their “Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 4,994.35 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 6.62% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD million by 2033.
MANPADS are short-range, lightweight, and portable surface-to-air missiles that can be fired by individuals or small groups to destroy aircraft or helicopters. They help shield troops from aerial attacks and are most effective in targeting low-flying aircrafts. MANPATs or Man-Portable Anti-Tank Systems work in a similar manner but are used to destroy or incapacitate military tanks. MANPADS have a maximum range of 8 kilometers and can engage targets at altitudes of 4.5 km. The first MANPADS were introduced by the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s.

Shift toward infrared and radar homing advanced guidance systems
The shift towards infrared and radar homing advanced guidance systems is one of the most important emerging trends in the global MANPADS market. These technologies greatly improve the target detection rate and tracking accuracy even in unfavorable weather conditions or countermeasure-saturated environments. IR homing systems offer better heat-seeking features to stealth missions, whereas radar homing forms a dependable aspect of performance with fast-moving or low-visibility targets. These multi-spectral systems or dual mode guidance systems integrations are also allowing defense armed forces to operate with unprecedented flexibility, precision, and survivability, and have become very popular in the next generation MANPADS systems worldwide.
Strategic Industrial Partnership and Technology Transfer Investments Fuel Growth in the Global Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) Market
Investment in strategic industrial alliances and technology transfers is one of the key growth drivers in the world Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) market. Such partnerships help nations to decentralise production, improve defence self-sufficiency, and expand internal production. Using their developed technologies and expertise, the global defense leaders assist the partner countries to speed up the development of systems, enhance quality, and decrease procurement prices. These alliances aid in innovation, increased supply chain effectiveness, and increased export opportunities. With countries focusing on co-production and capability sharing, these investments will increase the MANPADS deployment capacity in the world and will maintain market growth in various regions permanently.
For instance, in February 2025, Thales and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) signed an initial supply of Laser Beam Riding Man Portable Air Defence systems (LBRM) to a requirement proposed by the Indian Government to augment the air defence capabilities of India.
