Market Segmentation

This report extensively covers market segmentation by material (polymer fabric and composite), type (rigid wall shelter and soft wall shelter), and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, South America, and Middle East and Africa). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. 

By Material

The polymer fabric segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.? Shelters of this segment are made from polymer fabric such as polyester or nylon that are further coated to enhance their durability, weather resistance, and fire resistance. Moreover, they are also lightweight, portable, and flexible which allows deployment and transportation. They also protect against rain, wind, UV radiation, and other elements characteristic of military operations. Due to all these properties, they are ideal for usage as temporary field camps, medical facilities, command centers, and storage units in military applications.

The polymer fabric segment was valued at USD 592.41 million in 2017. Moreover, in this market companies also offer polymer fabrics. One of the major companies is Alaska Structures, which offers highly durable and safe products that can be used in any climate. Alaska Structures has produced and delivered more than 29,000 fabric buildings and full camp systems to more than 85 nations to date. Hence such factors will contribute to the market growth of this segment during the forecast period. 

By Type

Based on type, the market has been segmented into rigid wall shelter and soft wall shelter. The rigid wall shelter?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?These shelters are made of steel, aluminum, composite panels, or other stiff materials. Due to this, they offer enhanced durability, security, robustness, structural integrity, and protection which make them ideal for usage in numerous military applications. One of the best examples is the Modular Extendable Rigid Wall Shelter (MERWS) offered by General Dynamics Mission Systems, an expansion kit that can be attached to Army Standard Family Expandable (ASF-E) shelters. They are sturdy and resilient due to being made from aluminum-faced, nonmetallic honeycomb sandwich panels and require only four people to erect them. It is ideal for tactical command centers, transportable debriefing facilities, hospitals, and maintenance shops. Therefore, such factors will result in segment growth during the forecast period.

Hence the wide range of applications in military operations will result in market growth during the forecast period. 

Major Market Trends - Growing demand for international peacekeeping missions

There has been increasing demand for international peacekeeping operations, with the UN having over 90,000 peacekeepers deployed in 13 different missions globally. This is an increase of 5,000 peacekeepers from 2019 and the UN has also expanded its peacekeeping budget to USD 6.3 billion for the 2021-2022 period. Such peacekeeping services, usually of a temporary nature during a conflict or post-conflict, require efficient logistics services to support them, 

Hence, such increasing peacekeeping forces require to establish temporary bases in the location of operations. Due to ease of deployment, assembly, and a high degree of adaptability, they can be used to cater to changing mission requirements. The enhanced security features and durability that they offer are ideal as peacekeeping operations often occur in remote and challenging environments like conflict zones, post-conflict areas, or regions with limited existing infrastructure. Moreover, the rising number of ongoing conflicts and political instability globally will also result in increasing demand. Hence such factors will propel market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Market Challenge - Logistics and transportation challenges 

To support military operations in different locations, deployable military shelters must be easy to transport quickly. However, factors such as the choice of transportation mode, infrastructure limitations, and operational constraints make deploying military shelters difficult. According to the mission, they can be transported by air, land, or sea with each mode coming with its own set of limitations regarding load capacity, accessibility, speed, cost, and availability. Moreover, they must be easy to load and compatible with several transportation modes.

Additionally, the time constraints of a mission make logistics and transportation even more challenging. Shelters must be easy to transport and assemble with delays seriously comprising mission readiness and response capabilities of the end-user military forces. Hence manufacturers must offer lightweight, compact, and easy-to-assemble shelters that reduce the total logistical burden on military forces. Hence such factors will hamper market growth during the forecast period.
