Military Vetronics Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global military vetronics market size reached a value of approximately USD 4.73 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.50% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 7.35 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Vetronics is a combination of ‘vehicle’ and ‘electronics’, and refers to the communications and electronics installed on a vehicle. Military vetronics feature advanced electronics systems that aid in tasks such as communication, navigation, and power. These systems can integrated with various types of vehicles, including light-protected vehicles, battle tanks, special purpose vehicles, and amphibious vehicles.

• Increasing government investments towards defence, particularly in emerging nations, is resulting in a heightened demand for military vetronics. Technological advancements and availability of affordable systems are further propelling the global military vetronics market expansion.
• Military modernisation efforts by nations worldwide are focusing on ways to improve military capabilities in an effective manner while controlling costs. Vetronics systems aid in greater situational awareness which is anticipated to increase their demand.
• Rising tank production and procurement is one of the key factors propelling the global military vetronics market. In larger military vehicles, vetronics are essential for easy management and to execute intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations.

Market Share by Platform

The main battle tanks and other armoured vehicles segment, by platform, occupied a sizable share of the global market for military vetronics during the historical period. This can be attributed to the increasing purchases of battle tanks and other armoured vehicles by nations across the world with the aim of bolstering their military capability.

Meanwhile, unmanned ground vehicles, by platform, are anticipated to witness rapid growth in the military vetronics market, supported by the development of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and others that improve the operational effectiveness of these vehicles. As unmanned ground vehicles operate without human drivers, there is a greater dependence upon military vetronics to control the movement and operations of the vehicle.

Market Share by End-Use

The defence segment accounts for a significant share of the military vetronics market by end-use, driven by rising defence budgets and availability of vehicle-specific military vetronics systems. More governments are investing in equipping military vehicles with technologically sophisticated electronic systems in order to boost the operational effectiveness of the vehicles. There is an increased demand for military vetronics such as novel sighting devices, infrared cameras, and thermal imaging systems. Technological advancements such as the development of smaller, lighter, and more power-efficient (SWaP) rugged systems and embedded technology are anticipated to further propel the defence end-uses of military vetronics.
