A proximity fuze, also known as a trigger fuze, usually composed of sensitive devices, safety devices, detonation devices, and actuators, is a device equipped on ammunition such as missiles, shells, or aerial bombs. When the ammunition approaches the target, it is automatically detonated by the action of certain physical fields of the target itself (such as electric field, magnetic field, sound wave, pressure wave, shock wave, light radiation, etc.).

Overview of Market Development and Analysis of Downstream Application Patterns

In recent years, the global proximity fuze market has shown a steady growth trend. This is mainly due to the crucial role played by proximity fuzes in modern warfare, especially in improving ammunition hit accuracy, damage effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, which are irreplaceable. Data shows that the global market revenue for proximity fuzes reached $1465 million in 2023, and it is expected to increase to $2069 million by 2028.
