Military wearables are smart electronic devices and equipment that are either incorporated into the clothing of soldiers or are worn as implants or accessories by them. These devices not only improve mobility and comfort of soldiers but also offer them the reliability and ease of use. Military wearables are used for collecting and monitoring physical data, improving the effectiveness of training, and ensuring sustained performance enhancement, among others. The military wearables market is projected to grow from USD 4.2 billion in 2019 to USD 6.4 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2019 to 2025.
Key players in the military wearables market include Lockheed Martin Corporation (US), BAE Systems Plc. (UK), Elbit Systems Ltd. (Israel), Aselsan A.S. (Turkey), and Saab AB (Sweden), among others. New product launches and contracts are among the key strategies adopted by the leading market players to strengthen and sustain their position in the military wearables market. Additionally, these players have been focusing on securing contracts from governments of different countries for their organic growth. For instance, in 2018, Lockheed Martin received a contract worth USD 7 million from the US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) for the enhancement of the ONYX exoskeleton. In October 2017, Aselsan A.S. received a contract worth USD 44 million from Ukraine for the supply of software-defined military radios.
