The global vetronics market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 5.0% during the forecast period. Vetronics is a key element of military vehicles. Vetronics refers to electronic systems on a vehicle which is designed to control functions including communications, navigation, and weapons. Vehicle-equipped with information technology has been gaining significance in the battlefield as it offers advanced capabilities which is essential for both force protection and force projection. Increasing modernization and upgradation of military vehicles is the key factor that is contributing to the growth of the market. The military sector is one of the important concerns for governments and key leaders of a country. The competitiveness in the industry has increased substantially due to the advancement of the defense sector of the developed economies such as the US, and Japan.
Moreover, the modernization is directly proportional to the public and private investment. For instance, modernization is the fourth pillar of the US military which includes infrastructure and technology in the force structure, readiness, and sustainability. Additionally, emerging economies such as China, Israel, and India are moving rapidly towards the modernization of defense forces and vehicles to maintain the competitiveness of the armed forces. This, in turn, increased the need for military vehicles that are mounted with significantly optimized electronic command and information systems. This leads to the adoption of vetronics systems that supports to optimize computing resources and platform electronics, enabling the integration into the vehicles, and improving the supportability and logistics in operating conditions. The technology assists in both mission independent and mission-specific strategies.
Market Segmentation
The global vetronics market is classified into subsystem type, application, and vehicle type. Based on subsystem type, the market is classified into the navigation system, C3 systems, sensors, vehicle electronics warfare systems, and others. Based on application, the market is classified into defense and homeland security. Based on vehicle type, the market is classified into amphibious armored vehicles, main battle tank, light protected vehicles, and others.
Defense segment is anticipated to hold significant share in the market
The adoption of vetronics is considerably used in the military applications owing to the rising military spending and significant demand for modernization of military vehicles to improve navigation, communications, and command capabilities and withstand cyber attacks in the sector. As per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in 2019, the total global military spending increased to $1,917 billion, which represents a rise of 3.6% from 2018. The five major countries that significantly invests in military spending include the US, China, India, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
These countries accounted for 62% of the total global military spending. The rising defense expenditure has led the demand for modernization of armed forces and vehicles, which in turn, is encouraging the demand for vetronics in defense applications to perform basic functions and deliver new capabilities. Vetronics networks support for modular and a more distributed architecture and therefore, improving future upgradability and interoperability. The communication capabilities of the battlefield are evolving as a major importance in military operations. This results in the emerging vehicle electronics architectures which aim to ensure that military assets can potentially serve in terms of the holistic communications network.
