The global man portable military electronics market size reached US$ 4.5 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 6.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.87% during 2024-2032. Increasing need for advanced communication systems, rising focus on soldier modernization programs, surging demand for unmanned systems and robotics, and escalating need for advanced surveillance and reconnaissance systems represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Man-portable military electronics are cutting-edge devices that play a vital role in modern warfare. They are designed to be carried and operated by individual soldiers, providing them with enhanced situational awareness, communication capabilities, and tactical advantages on the battlefield. They are constructed with robust materials and advanced technologies and are built to withstand harsh environments and the rigors of combat. Man-portable military electronics typically consist of several key components, including a ruggedized casing, a power source (such as batteries or fuel cells), a processor, memory, various sensors (such as GPS, thermal imaging, and night vision), wireless communication modules, and display interfaces. The components perform critical functions, such as real-time intelligence gathering, target acquisition, navigation, communication with command centers, and data sharing among troops. Their advantages are manifold, including enhanced situational awareness of soldiers, allowing them to identify and assess threats accurately. Moreover, they facilitate seamless communication between troops, improving coordination and synchronization on the battlefield. In comparison to traditional methods, man-portable military electronics offer a significant improvement in mobility, agility, and efficiency as they consolidate multiple functionalities into a compact and lightweight form factor. Currently, handheld radios, ruggedized tablets, personal navigation devices, and individual soldier systems are some of the commonly available product variants.
