The global Military Stealth Materials Market continues to demonstrate stable growth, with its valuation reaching USD 1.06 billion in 2023. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5%, reaching approximately USD 1.35 billion by 2030. This growth is primarily driven by increasing defense budgets worldwide and technological advancements in radar-absorbing materials (RAM) and signature reduction technologies.
Military stealth materials are critical components in modern defense systems, enabling aircraft, naval vessels, and ground vehicles to evade detection. Their applications span across radar absorption, infrared signature reduction, and acoustic dampening – making them invaluable for next-generation military platforms like the F-35 fighter jet and Zumwalt-class destroyers.
