The global military electro-optical and infrared systems market size reached US$ 10.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 14.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% during 2024-2032.
Military electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems refer to various land-, air-, and naval-based discrete technological solutions used for comprehensive situational awareness. The airborne systems include optic sights, night vision, inspection systems and helmet-mounted displays. The land-based systems consist of weapon-mounted sights, optronic devices, thermal imagers, designators and laser range finders. The naval-based systems include infrared imagers and detectors, surveillance and tracking systems and photonics mast systems. These systems and devices use hyperspectral and multispectral imaging technologies and are commonly used for conducting combat, patrol, surveillance, reconnaissance and search and rescue operations.
The market is primarily driven by an alarming increase in armed conflicts, violence and terrorism across the globe. Furthermore, the escalating requirement for military modernization is creating a positive outlook for the market. Military EO/IR systems are widely used in missile warning receivers and electronic warfare, optical surveillance and observation systems. In line with this, the deployment of these solutions for unmanned vehicles is also contributing to the market growth. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of innovative longwave infrared (LWIR) and EO laser guidance systems, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. They provide enhanced thermal imaging capacities with improved target recognition and offers reliable information for crew protection in war conditions. Other factors, including the increasing integration of novel EO/IR systems with the existing military systems, along with rising defense expenditures by governments across the globe, especially in the developing nations, are anticipated to drive the market further.
