Drivers & Restraints:

The military sensors market is witnessing rapid growth, primarily fueled by the increasing development of optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and RF MEMS devices. These advanced technologies, tailored to meet specialized military needs, offer significant advantages such as high reliability, low power consumption, and compact sizes. MEMS sensors find extensive use in various military applications including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), missiles, battlefield tanks, drone electronics, and surveillance systems. However, the intricate designs of these sensors may pose challenges to market expansion in the foreseeable future.

Segment:

Airborne Segment to Grow Rapidly Backed by Surging Usage of Military Helicopters & UAVs: The airborne segment, which accounted for 27.03% of the military sensors market share in 2019, is expected to exhibit the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the coming years. This growth is attributed to the increasing utilization of UAVs, fighter jets, and military helicopters, particularly in countries like India, China, and the U.S.

Regional Insights:

Rising Modernization Programs to Boost Growth in North America: North America dominated the military sensors market in 2019, generating USD 9.32 billion in revenue. The region is poised for continued growth, driven by government initiatives aimed at conducting modernization programs and procuring advanced technologies such as 3D expeditionary long-range radar.

Europe to Grow Substantially Due to Increased Usage of EOIR Military Sensors: Europe is expected to experience significant growth, fueled by the rising adoption of electro-optical infrared (EOIR) military sensors by the U.K. Defense Ministry.

Asia Pacific to Benefit from Geopolitical Tensions and Territorial Disputes: Asia Pacific is projected to witness growth due to escalating territorial disputes between countries such as India and Pakistan, as well as geopolitical tensions between China and India. These factors are driving increased defense spending and the adoption of military sensor technologies in the region.
