Military Wearable Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032

Growth Factors of Military Wearables Market

The global military wearables market size was valued at USD 7.83 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 8.09 billion in 2023 to USD 10.1 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.25% during the forecast period of 2022-2030.

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected the military wearables industry, reducing global sales in 2020. Pandemic-induced shutdowns and supply chain issues also contributed to slowed orders and deficits in the necessary equipment for military wearables, thus reducing their demand and affecting military wearables market growth.

The market for military wearables has several drivers, such as adapting wearables for different operational environments and improving soldiers’ situational awareness and survivability forces’ effectiveness. It is pertinent to mention that the need for accurate real-time intelligence and tactical data also forces people to use wearable technologies.

Augmented Reality, headsets’ integration into the military wearables, is changing the future of military gadgets. Thus, warfare-connected information like the position of the enemy, allies, and other vital data can be overlaid on a soldier’s field of vision, contributing to situational awareness and improved decision-making, as done in the AR headsets, impeding a global rise in military wearables market share. This incredible technology enables the soldiers to quickly analyze and solve tactical situations, enhancing efficiency and battle outcomes and minimizing friendly fire or fratricide events.
