Global Military Sensors Market Size 2024, Forecast To 2033

6 Mar, 2024

The military sensors market size has exhibited robust growth, rising from $10.23 billion in 2023 to $10.96 billion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period is linked to regulatory changes and standards, adoption of unmanned platforms, industrial partnerships and collaborations, focus on situational awareness, and government initiatives and contracts. Forecasts anticipate continued strong growth, reaching $14.04 billion in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. This growth is driven by miniaturization and low-power designs, global geopolitical instabilities, expansion of unmanned systems, integration of AI and machine learning, and growing demand for ISR capabilities. Major trends in the forecast period include increased focus on cybersecurity, development of multi-functional sensors, miniaturization and lightweight designs, emphasis on hyperspectral and multi-spectral sensors, and interoperability and sensor networking.

Global Military Sensors Market Key Driver

The expansion of defense spending by emerging economies significantly contributes to the growth of the military sensors market. Military spending encompasses the financial resources a country allocates to build and sustain its armed forces or engage in defense-related activities, including operations, maintenance, procurement of weaponry and armored vehicles, and military research and development. These expenditures encompass the purchase of goods and services such as arms, sensors, and military research and development, thereby bolstering demand for military sensors. For example, according to the April 2022 report from SIPRI, global military spending increased by 0.7% from $1,981 billion in 2020 to $2,113 billion in 2021. Additionally, China increased its military spending by 4.7% in 2021, reaching an estimated $293 billion. Hence, the growth in defense spending by emerging economies propels the military sensors market forward. In 2023, the military sensors market size was A, while in 2024, it reached B, with a projected market size for 2028 at C.
