The growing demand for better military communications across different countries is aiding the growth of the military power supplies market. This can be attributed to the rising deployment of military vehicles, generating more demand for power supply equipment for various military operations. Also, higher spending on the construction of military bases and facilities (barracks, offices, hangars, runways, training grounds, test ranges, etc.) is expected to boost the demand for military power supplies across different regions.
The rising expenditure on defense electronics in different countries is another major factor in increasing demand for power systems. Most defense forces acquire specialized military vehicles such as tanks, armored cars, troop carrier vehicles, amphibious vehicles, air defense vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and armored trains. The deployment of these specialized military vehicles requires power supply modules. These vehicles need communication and other equipment for remote communications with their respective base or troops, wherein the power supply system plays a significant role. In September 2021, LIG Nex1—a defense contractor involved in the development of radar and missile guidance systems—secured a military contract to produce communication terminals for a military satellite communication system linked to ANASIS-II, a military communications satellite launched in July 2020 atop a rocket manufactured by US commercial space firm SpaceX.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) played a central role in developing vaccines through Operation Warp Speed, and the president administration has made it clear that DoD will play an important, though supporting, role in getting “shots in arms.” Throughout the pandemic, the DoD has played a supporting role by deploying medical personnel to augment civilian hospitals, mobilizing national guard personnel to provide logistical support, and providing rapid contracting capabilities to tap into the civilian economy. The department has weathered the pandemic well after some initial missteps, with infection rates lower than the those in the US as a whole and much lower death rates. Military forces have figured out how to train, deploy, and operate during a pandemic.
Military personnel had an infection rate ~15% below that that of the US. The infection rate for all DoD personnel (including military, dependents, and contractors) is ~40% lower than the cumulative cases from the beginning of the pandemic. In response to these early setbacks, the military services cancelled exercises and halted the deployment of units, the transfer of personnel, and the input of new recruits into basic training (those already in training continued). However, this was not a sustainable situation.
The increasing emphasis on the strengthening of military forces is generating the demand for adoption of electronic warfare technologies. The governments of different countries allocate separate defense budgets for each FY worldwide. Under the allocated defense budgets, defense authorities decide the expenditure plan across multiple domains, including defense electronics. For instance, the 2021 US Department of Defense (DoD) budget includes US$ 3.17 billion for 45 different electronic warfare programs across the military service departments and various platforms in the US. Hence, the rising defense budgets across different countries is boosting investments in defense electronics technologies, which is a major factor boosting the adoption of electronic warfare systems worldwide. Moreover, the integration of commercial information technology (IT) products with legacy electronic warfare (EW) technologies is expected to rise during the FY 2021. The US electronic warfare market is estimated to reach US$ 3.6 billion by 2025 from US$ 3.17 billion in 2021.
Based on type, the Europe, Asia Pacific, and U.S. military power supply market is segmented into programmable and non-programmable. In 2020, the non-programmable segment accounted for a larger market share.
Based on end use, the Europe, Asia Pacific, and U.S. military power supply market is segmented into aerial, land, and water. In 2020, the land segment accounted for the largest market share.
