## Market Summary

## **Live Laser-Based Training and Simulation Platforms Market Overview**

Live Laser-Based Training and Simulation Platforms Market is anticipated to reach USD 1.425 Billion by 2030 at a 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period 2023 and 2030.

Live laser-based training and simulation platforms market provides training systems and services for the armed defense and security forces globally. Live laser-based training and simulation platforms help provide the recruits the chance to get accustomed to a wide array of weapons to operate in real scenarios effectively. These types of training help trainees develop a high degree of mind-body coordination in a risk-free environment, focusing on making the recruits combat-ready.

The growth of the global live laser-based training and simulation platforms market is attributed to the growing need for live training and increasing political disputes and civil unrest across the globe. However, issues related to incorporating laser-based technologies into indoor training systems and lack of realism in laser-based live training and simulation are anticipated to hamper the market growth. In contrast, increasing defense expenditures in the emerging economies areanticipated to provide significant growth opportunities for the live laser-based training and simulation platforms market.

**COVID-19 Analysis**

According to MRFR, the current projections of the global live laser-based training and simulation platforms market growth till 2026 are expected to be lower than pre-COVID-19 estimates. Many governments across the globe are focused on controlling COVID-19 outbreaks in their countries. Hence, they are investing more in healthcare equipment and the development of vaccines. Therefore, the defense R&D expenditures are expected to be slightly lower for the next few years. The defense expenditure is expected to increase gradually during the forecast period after the pandemic ends.

However, the growing demand for live laser-based training and the rise in political instability and civil unrest is anticipated to drive the market once the global economy plunges back. Thus, it is expected that the global live laser-based training and simulation platforms market will grow at a slower rate in 2020 and 2021; from 2022, it will grow gradually.

**Market Dynamics**

**Drivers**

Live training offers recruits the chance to get accustomed to a wide array of weapons to operate effectivelyin real scenarios. These types of training help trainees develop a high degree of mind-body coordinationin a risk-free environment to make the recruits combat-ready. The need for risk-free live training is critical as there have been several instances that have led to the death of armed forces personnel globally.

For instance, in the US,as per a House Armed Services Committee report related to the National Defense Authorization Act for the fiscal year 2019, in 2017, nearly four times as many service members died in training accidents compared to those that were killed in combat. Therefore, due to the rise in deaths of armed forces personnel in training, there is a high demand for live training, especially with laser-based simulation platforms. Thus, the growing need for live training is expected to drive the growth of the global live laser-based training and simulation platforms market during the forecast period.

**Opportunities**

The global defense spending reached USD 1.83 trillion in 2020, reflecting a 3.9% annual growth in real terms. Despite severe economic contractions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the global defense spending as a proportion of GDPsharply increased from an average of 1.85% in 2019 to 2.08% in 2020. The defense expenditure by developed economies is under pressure, and the emerging economies, especially in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, are gaining importance among defense equipment manufacturers.

The increase in the defense expenditure by countries in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific regions is driven by the constant need to monitor rising terrorist activities coupled with unstable geopolitical situations. The increasing defense expenditure in emerging economies is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the vendors operating in the global laser-based live training and simulation platforms market.

**Restraints**

The laser-based technologies are often more suitable for outdoor training modules. The limitation of laser-based technologies for the indoor training system hampers the growth of the market. There has been an increase in the demand for indoor training systems as these systems can reduce the inherent costs associated with outdoor training activities, such as the overhead costs of transporting personnel, assets, and equipment to locations. For this reason, there has been an uptick in the adoption of training and simulation, which are based on Virtual Reality (VR).

Owing to significant technological advancements in VR technology, VR-based training poses a risk for substitution, further limiting the market's growth. Hence, the limitation of incorporating laser-based technologies into indoor training systems is expected to restrain the growth of the global live laser-based training and simulation platforms market during the forecast period.
