Global Soldier Systems Market is valued at approximately USD 10.4 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.4% over the forecast period 2023-2030. “Soldier systems” typically refer to a range of equipment and technologies designed to enhance the capabilities, protection, and effectiveness of military personnel, particularly infantry soldiers. These systems are developed and utilized by armed forces around the world to improve the performance of soldiers in various operational environments. The Soldier Systems Market is expanding because of factors such as growing demand for advanced weapons and military technology and rising defense spending and arms trade. As a result, the demand for Soldier Systems has progressively increased in the international market during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Advanced weapons and technology can enhance the firepower and lethality of soldiers, making it necessary for soldier systems to adapt to the increased capabilities of modern weaponry. This involve providing soldiers with better personal protective equipment, such as enhanced body armor, helmets, and eyewear, to withstand the firepower of modern weapons. According to Statista, from 2018 to 2022, the United States dominated the international arms market, commanding a 40% share of global arms exports. Russia, the second-largest supplier of major weapons on a global scale during this period, held a 16% share. Together, the United States and Russia jointly accounted for more than half of all major weapons exports between 2017 and 2021. Another important factor that drives the Soldier Systems Market is increasing defense spending and arms trade. Higher defense budgets can fund research and development efforts to create innovative soldier systems. This led to the development of more efficient, durable, and capable gear for soldiers. In addition, as per Statista, the United States accounts world’s top military spending position in 2022, investing a significant USD 877 billion in defense. This amounted to nearly 40% of worldwide military spending that year, which totaled USD 2.2 trillion. The military spending in the United States accounted for 3.5% of the country’s GDP. Moreover, government initiatives towards advanced technologies in military equipment and the rising integration of nanotechnology into soldier subsystems are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. However, the high cost of Soldier Systems is going to impede overall market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Soldier Systems Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to rising instances of terrorist attacks and continual military equipment modernization initiatives in the region. Advanced technology in soldier systems requires robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data and communication systems from cyber threats. The increasing reliance on technology makes these systems vulnerable to hacking, emphasizing the need for strong cybersecurity protocols. The region’s dominant performance is anticipated to propel the overall demand for Soldier Systems. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to grow fastest over the forecast period, owing to factors such as the rising conflict between nations and increased expenditure on advanced technology by the defense sector in the region.
