The global military wearable market size is estimated to showcase robust growth owing to the increasing focus on the production of rugged and lightweight military clothing. This information is published by Fortune Business Insights™ in an upcoming study, titled, “Military Wearable Market, 2022-2029.”
The COVID-19 pandemic is growing to be the biggest health emergency of all time. The unprecedented spread of the novel coronavirus has led countries to enforce nationwide, prolonged lockdowns, due to which businesses across the world have come to a standstill. The defense sector has also been impacted by the consequences of the pandemic. As published in the Washington Post in May 2020, The U.S. has decided reduce its defense budget for 2021. The leaders at Pentagon are requesting a total of USD 705 billion budget, which is still half of the total federal spending. At Fortune Business Insights™, we closely study the market from various perspectives in order to identify new growth opportunities.

Drivers
Increasing Demand for Durable Wearables Among Soldiers to Drive Growth
The increasing focus on developing lightweight and durable wearables for soldiers is estimated to drive the military wearable market growth. In addition, the rapidly growing defense spending by countries worldwide due to numerous reasons, such as geographic disputes and terrorism, is anticipated to propel the adoption of military wearables during the forecast period. For instance, according to a report published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the global spending on defense and military worldwide reached a total of USD 1.917 trillion in 2019, which was higher by 3.6 percent from the previous year’s figures.
Regional Insights-
Presence of Key Players to Strengthen Demand in North America
North America is anticipated to lead the military wearable market share during the forecast period. The leading position of the region in the market is attributable to the evident presence of the key players in the U.S. including General Dynamics Corporation, Elbit Systems Ltd., FLIR Systems, Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Corporation. In addition, the defense expenditure of the U.S. is the highest among all nations. In 2019, a total of USD 732 billion dollars was spent on defense by the country. This is predicted to further strengthen the demand for military wearables in the region.
Competitive Landscape-
