Military Infrastructure Market Report 2026

The military infrastructure market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.17 billion in 2025 to $11.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to modernization of armed forces facilities, growth in military base construction and expansion, investment in secure communication infrastructure, adoption of environmental protection and safety systems, increasing demand for airfield lighting and security fencing.

The military infrastructure market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.74 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in smart and resilient military infrastructure, adoption of advanced surveillance and monitoring systems, integration of sustainable and eco-friendly infrastructure solutions, increasing demand for modular and rapidly deployable facilities, growth in maintenance and repair service contracts for defense assets. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of smart surveillance and security systems, modular and rapidly deployable military facilities, integration of advanced environmental protection systems, enhanced communication infrastructure for tactical operations, expansion of simulation and training centers.

The increasing risk of terrorism is expected to propel the growth of the military infrastructure market going forward. Terrorism refers to violent acts committed by individuals, groups, or nations classified as foreign terrorist organizations or states. The prevalence of terrorism is rising due to growing political and ideological extremism, with radical groups exploiting social and economic instability to recruit supporters and justify violence against authorities or rival communities. Military infrastructure is essential for counter-terrorism efforts by providing strategic resources, intelligence capabilities, and operational bases to prevent and respond to terrorist activities. For instance, in April 2024, according to the U.S. Department of State, a US-based federal government agency, the number of global terrorist incidents increased from 7,351 in 2022 to 7,382 in 2023, reflecting a rise of 31 incidents. Therefore, the increasing risk of terrorism is driving the growth of the military infrastructure market.

Major companies operating in the military infrastructure market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as mobile communication network systems to enhance battlefield connectivity, enable real-time data exchange, and ensure secure, resilient communications. A mobile communication network system refers to a wireless infrastructure that enables seamless voice, data, and video communication across multiple locations through cellular or radio-based connectivity. For instance, in May 2025, Nokia Corporation, a Finland-based telecommunications equipment company, partnered with Blackned GmbH, a Germany-based defense technology company, to develop next-generation tactical networks for the German army. These deployable networks are mobile, rapidly set up, and designed for battlefield operations in areas lacking standard infrastructure. Their compatibility with the Battlesuite digital ecosystem allows integration across land, air, and other mission domains, with adaptability for Germany’s defense and allied use cases.

In May 2025, Serco Inc., a US-based provider of professional, technology, engineering, and management services, acquired Northrop Grumman’s Mission Training & Satellite Ground Network Communications Software Business for $327 million. Through this acquisition, Serco aims to strengthen its technological capabilities and expand its presence in U.S. defense and space mission-readiness solutions by integrating advanced satellite ground network communications software and training services. Northrop Grumman’s MT&S business is a US-based provider of military infrastructure-related capabilities.
