Modernization of the military includes changes in technological capacities. Militaries of different countries aim to be well-trained and equipped with contemporary systems of armament and technique as well as modern and interoperable tools. The modernization of the military focuses on several areas, such as control and command systems, information systems, wearable devices, equipment, and armaments.
Countries across the world are investing in modernization programs to strengthen their military capabilities. For instance, the US Army has proposed a five-year Mission Training Complex Capabilities Support contract. Such initiatives will increase the demand for military wearable sensors, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
IoT enables the exchange of data between devices through the Internet without human intervention. The importance of big data and analytics has increased immensely. IoT technologies are used in wireless sensor networks and associated software. They typically consist of sensors that detect data and convert it into a digital signal. They also comprise digital signal processors, radio-frequency devices, and big data.
The data from sensors is passed onto a command center, where it is interpreted and integrated with inputs from other sources. Commanders communicate their orders based on the inference from the analyzed data. The data from the sensors gives the command centers more information about situations. Thus, the use of IoT and big data in the military is a key trend that will influence the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The demand for new military wearable sensors for tactical military applications is increasing across the world. Militaries of various countries are adopting advanced wearable sensors to help reduce the number of casualties on the battlefield. The demand for advanced military wearable sensors is growing due to the rise in the demand for surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance assets. Thus, vendors should invest significantly in the R&D of military wearable sensors to cater to the growing demand.
Vendors in the US are expected to be the largest spenders on the R&D of military wearable sensors. The development of modern military wearable sensors required years of R&D activities. Development activities include several hours of rigorous testing and documentation before commercially releasing a new product. This increases the R&D expenditure of vendors. Therefore, the high cost of R&D of military wearable sensors is expected to limit the growth of the global military wearable sensors market during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.

The device-based sensors segment was valued at USD 280.34 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Most wearable devices include the global positioning system (GPS), which contains a sensor for monitoring and tracking the position of personnel and physical structures. GPS provides accurate information about the position and velocity of objects on the field. Integrating wearable displays with GPS provides real-time data to soldiers. These data include satellite /images that are crucial for military intelligence. Thus, GPS helps with tactical and operational decisions in real time. These factors will drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
