Man-Portable Military Electronics Market Overview 

Man Portable Military Electronics Market Size Is Anticipated To Grow From USD 3.50 And  USD 5 Billion By 2030. And Grow at a CAGR Of 4.2% By 2024-2030

Man portable electronics are designed to be carried as an integral part of a soldier in conjunction with assigned duties. Man-Portable Military Electronics Market include mobile communication products that are used for the transmission and reception of video, voice, and data signals. These systems are also used to provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) essential for military operations. The assistance of man portable electronics has become an effective means for defense authorities to enhance the safety and capabilities of their units.

The Man-Portable Military Electronics Market use satellite-based communication that works on different frequency bands namely Ku-band, Ka-band, X-band, and others. Apart from the military and defense sector, such radar systems are also used in other commercial sectors, including weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control, defense tracking, and vehicle speed detection for law enforcement.

The factors driving the growth are growing demand for battlefield surveillance radar, investments on portable military electronics products, and growing demand for micro air vehicles. Whereas technological integration, budget cuts, and military downsizing are some of the factors restraining the market.  One of the critical and most important challenges is to maintain the effectiveness of man-portable electronics systems and reducing the equipment weight at the same time, which requires investments, extensive R&D, and technological advancements.

The man-portable military electronics market is segmented on type, equipment, and region. Based on type, the market has been segmented into communication, command & control, ancillary electronics, EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infrared), ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance), and force protection. The communication segment is accounted for the largest market share in 2018 and is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high use of man-portable military electronics for military tactical communications during the military missions is driving the growth of this segment.

Based on equipment, the market has been segmented into radar, imaging system, and others. The radar segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Man-portable radar system is a type of lightweight radar system used for various military applications, including land, mobile, and air for intercepting, detecting, and following targets at stationary or a moving condition.

Based on the region, the Man-Portable Military Electronics Market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latine America. North America is expected to be the largest market in the review period.
