The global man portable military electronics market size reached USD 4.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 6.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.72% during 2025-2033. Increasing need for advanced communication systems, rising focus on soldier modernization programs, surging demand for unmanned systems and robotics, and escalating need for advanced surveillance and reconnaissance systems represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Man-portable military electronics are cutting-edge devices that play a vital role in modern warfare. They are designed to be carried and operated by individual soldiers, providing them with enhanced situational awareness, communication capabilities, and tactical advantages on the battlefield. They are constructed with robust materials and advanced technologies and are built to withstand harsh environments and the rigors of combat. Man-portable military electronics typically consist of several key components, including a ruggedized casing, a power source (such as batteries or fuel cells), a processor, memory, various sensors (such as GPS, thermal imaging, and night vision), wireless communication modules, and display interfaces. The components perform critical functions, such as real-time intelligence gathering, target acquisition, navigation, communication with command centers, and data sharing among troops. Their advantages are manifold, including enhanced situational awareness of soldiers, allowing them to identify and assess threats accurately. Moreover, they facilitate seamless communication between troops, improving coordination and synchronization on the battlefield. In comparison to traditional methods, man-portable military electronics offer a significant improvement in mobility, agility, and efficiency as they consolidate multiple functionalities into a compact and lightweight form factor. Currently, handheld radios, ruggedized tablets, personal navigation devices, and individual soldier systems are some of the commonly available product variants.
The increasing need for advanced communication systems on the battlefield has surged the demand for man portable military electronics that provide reliable and secure communication channels for soldiers. This is further bolstered by the rising focus on soldier modernization programs by defense agencies. In line with this, governments of various nations are investing in advanced equipment and systems to enhance the capabilities of their soldiers in the field, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Concurrent with this, the growing emphasis on lightweight and portable electronics for enhanced mobility has compelled key manufacturers to develop compact and rugged devices, further fueling the market growth. Additionally, the increasing demand for unmanned systems and robotics in military operations and the rising military expenditure are contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the growing focus on soldier safety and security and the escalating need for advanced surveillance and reconnaissance systems are providing an impetus to the market growth.
