Military Sensors Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Military Sensors Market Analysis

The Military Sensors Market size is estimated at USD 15.76 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 21.25 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.16% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The evolution and rapid adoption of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based devices have led to the development of sophisticated micro gyros for navigation and positioning, microbolometers for infrared imaging, and micromirrors for steering laser beams. RF MEMS and nanotechnology could lead to breakthroughs in aerospace and defense applications, such as satellite communications at speeds over 100 GHz and electronically steerable RF phase shifters for true-time delay.

Modern military systems rely heavily on complex software and interconnectivity to perform their missions. Advanced features, such as electronic attacks, sensor fusion, and communications, of cyber-enabled military systems provide a tactical edge to the equipped armed forces against adversary forces or during critical operations in a hostile environment. Factors such as increasing demand for battlespace awareness amongst defense forces, ongoing advancements in MEMS technology, and integration of anti-jamming capabilities with navigation systems will drive the market growth. However, cybersecurity risks, complexity in the designs of military sensors, and lack of accuracy would constrain the market's growth.
