The military embedded systems market is expected to grow from USD 71.29 Billion in 2016 to USD 134.88 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 13.60% from 2016 to 2021. The objectives of this study of this market is to analyze the military embedded systems market along with the statistics from 2016 to 2021 as well as to define, describe, and forecast the military embedded systems market on the basis of application, architecture, platform, component, and region. The report tries to segment the geographical market into the North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW). The report also focuses on the competitive landscape in this market by profiling companies based on their financial positions, product portfolios, growth strategies and analyzing their core competencies and market shares to anticipate the degree of competition prevailing in the market. This report also tracks and analyzes competitive developments such as partnerships, mergers & acquisitions (M&A), new product developments, and research & development (R&D) activities in the global market. 2015 was considered the base year and 2016 to 2021 was considered the forecast period for this market study.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the military embedded systems market included the study of data on key military embedded systems manufacturers’ revenues globally through secondary sources, such as the Hoovers, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Factiva. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall military embedded systems market size from the revenue of key players in the market operating globally. After arriving at the overall market size, the total military embedded systems market was split into several segments and sub-segments which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key industry experts, such as CEOs, VPs, directors, executives, and embedded systems engineers. These data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments. The breakdown of profiles of primaries is depicted in the below figure:

An embedded system plays one of the most significant roles in electronic equipment and devices used for military applications. A typical embedded system consists of hardware, software, and a few other mechanical and technical components designed to perform numerous predefined functions. Military embedded systems are open architecture based and are used for various electronic applications. Therefore, the need to have commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded system is increasing. Some embedded systems are also customized for rugged military applications.

The military embedded systems market has been anlayzed on the basis of various segments, namely, application, architecture, platform, component, and region. The market is estimated to be USD 71.29 Billion in 2016, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.60% during the forecast period, to reach USD 134.88 Billion by 2021. The demand for embedded systems is expected to grow at a rapid rate in the forthcoming years, owing to the increasing requirement for electronic devices and systems for military applications across the globe. Some of the factors expected to fuel the growth of this market include the use of multicore processor technology; emergence of modern warfare systems, such as electronic warfare and network centric warfare systems; and the increased use of wireless and cloud computing technologies. The huge cost incurred in obtaining certification for system designs in case of any upgradation done by manufacturers is the most significant factor acting as a hindrance to the growth of this market.

North America is the largest market in the global military embedded systems market, due to the huge military budgets of North American countries, like the U.S. However, the Asia-Pacific market is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

By application, the ISR segment is estimated to dominate the market. On the other hand, the hardware segment is estimated to dominate the military embedded systems market by architecture.

Some of the key players dominating this market include Kontron AG (Germany), Curtis-Wright Corporation (U.S.), Mercury Systems, Inc. (U.S.), Microsemi Corporation (U.S.), and Xilinx, Inc. (U.S.). These players are introducing several new technologies and programs in the market to improve system performance and efficiency, such as GaN technology. The companies have adopted the new product launches as a key strategy to improve their product offerings, revenue share, and technology advancement in the global military embedded systems market. The manufacturers are focusing on designing military embedded systems for newer applications with the introduction of advanced technologies.
